# Pope admits Earth orbits Sun. LICHEN, Poland (AP) Nearly four centuries
after the Vatican condemned Nicholas Copernicus' discovery that the Earth
revolved around the sun, another Pole - Pope John Paul II - visited the
astronomer's birthplace and praised his scientific achievements. But the
pope noted that science and religion are still grappling to find common
ground in the "service of truth." Then he retreated into fantasy again.
See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559836807-7cd
: Does your belief system work "in the service of truth?" Is truth relevant
to your faith? Would you rather sing with Copernicus or JP2? Who's cooler?

# COOKING WITHOUT THINKING. A smart microwave oven will read cooking instr-

# Sick tarantula gets top-notch care. CATONSVILLE, Md. (AP) - When tarantula
No. 79011 gets angry, she rears up, shows her fangs and shoots barbed hairs
from her rump. It's a good thing she's been a perfect patient so far. The
Goliath tarantula, the largest spider species in the world, underwent a
second CAT scan in hopes of saving her from a nasty infection oozing from
her side. Giving a CAT scan to a spider is not a regular event, but this
spider is worthy of saving, say those who know her. "She has a robust, loose
personality." The prognosis wasn't good. Doctors are planning to perform a
lifesaving operation next week to try to save the eight-legged creature.

: Do you operate on insects? Do insects operate on you? Earthly or ET? Why?
Could you make a profit running an HMO for insects, for ETs, for robotniks?

# How to get people to exercise? WASHINGTON (AP) Getting nonexercisers off

"Glamorous, gutsy Genevieve slid effortlessly down the pole as slobbering
dogs with masks of men circled stealthily, looking up her dress, making low
gurgling noises from the bottom of their throats, licking their inner lips
and the sides of their teeth." --Jeffrey Scott Brown
