# Virtual Humans Make Their Debut. "Virtual humans never tire and never need
a break. They will be just as knowledgeable, friendly, and humorous at the
end of the day as they are at the beginning." And they don't demand higher
pay, days off: http://www.newswise.com/articles/1999/2/VIRTUAL2.RTI.html
: Do you prefer real or virtual humans, aliens, animals, robots, food, air,
drugs, water? Will we all be virtual someday? Will we last longer? Why not?

# INTERNET'S BIGGEST DANGER? THE 'GULLIBILITY' VIRUS. Probably the most
dangerous thing on the Internet is the "gullibility" virus. The ease
with which false information, urban rumors and unsubstantiated product
claims can be forwarded by e-mail is truly frightening.
http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=13888
: Have you been infected with this virus? Is there any cure? Do you believe
everything/anything/nothing of what you read online? Is it all a blur? Why?

: Does your belief system promote toxic celebrations, environmental degrada-
tion, explosions? Do the voices in your head tell you which poisons to use?
