# THE SMART PUMP: INSULIN INSIDE. A chip-based, artificial pancreas may one
day make life easier for millions of insulin-dependent diabetics. Borgifi-
cation: http://www.wired.com/news/news/email/tip/technology/story/20075.html
: Are you dependent upon implanted devices for your survival? How many such
implants does it take before you cross the line, become cyborg? D'ya care?

# Bin Laden - FBI's Most Wanted. PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) Devout, generous &
simple is how his sympathizers see him: a man who lives close to his fight-
ers, sitting cross-legged on a cave floor eating rice, eggs and cheese from
a communal plate. They speak of millionaire Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden
with admiration and respect. But the U.S. sees him as Enemy No. 1 and put a
$5 million reward on his head. Now the FBI has bin Laden on its "Ten Most
Wanted" list. www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559844652-244
: Do you prefer your spiritual/social leaders to be humble, devout, simple,
murderous? Do you like millionaires who eat eggs? Is your implant misfiring?

# Army delays antimissile test again. WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE, NM (AP) The
US Army postponed its latest attempt to destroy a flying target with an exp-
ensive antimissile missile that's never scored a hit. The trial was put off
because of a power failure on the base during the night. The Theater High-
Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile system has cost at least $3.8 billion
and critics call it a waste of taxpayers' money. But I just call it Tad.

# And: NO POWER, NO MISSILE TEST. The latest US "Star Wars" scheme runs into
more problems when an electricity failure scrubs another test. Fizzle out:
www.wired.com/news/news/email/explode-infobeat/business/story/20081.html
: Who is interfering with THAAD tests: Russians, Reptilioids, Republicans,
Rastas? How much more money would you spend on something that doesn't work?

*** Mich. mulls concert warning labels. LANSING, Mich. (AP) State Sen. Dale
Shugars wasn't satisfied to hear about the antics of shock rocker Marilyn
Manson, he had to see for himself. So Shugars went to a Manson concert. When
Manson appeared on stage, he was strapped to a cross and wearing a black G-
string. "He was like Satan," said Shugars, pushing a bill that would require
parental advisories on tickets, posters and other advertising for certain
concerts. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2559849380-ed2
: Does Satan wear a G-string? Is this in the Bible? Does Satan prefer black,
scarlet, green, metallic or spangled G-strings? Do angels wear other colors?

# 'Bloodless' Surgery On Jehovah's Witness. LONDON (Reuters) A Jehovah's
Witness from South Africa flew to Britain for risky "bloodless" surgery,
hoping to win a new lease on life without breaking his religious beliefs.
The surgeon performed a similar operation on a local Jehovah's Witness three
years ago and has agreed to strict guidelines on the use of blood and blood
products. http://news.excite.com/news/r/990608/17/odd-britain-transplant
: Do you prefer surgery with or without blood? Do you eat or drink blood?
Whose? Should Jehovah's Witnesses be allowed to expire naturally? Why not?

# HACKER PUNDITS SQUABBLE. A former hacker accuses one of the most-quoted
voices on the computer underground of paying crackers to hit sites in
ex-change for the scoop. Hogwash, he says. If you can't trust a hacker...

caustically to the seven little men looking up at her, "to me it sounds
