# LAST 20TH CENTURY ECLIPSE SWEEPS INTO CLOUDS. Despite downcast weather
reports and intermittent rain, some viewers in Britain were able to at
get at least a partial view of the millennium's last full solar eclipse.
http://cnn.com/TECH/space/9908/11/eclipse.02/index.html
# Dark side of the Moon. (BBC) The millennium's final total eclipse of the
Sun triggers prayers, cheers and tears from millions of amazed spectators
across Europe and Asia. Mad cows screamed and drunkards wept openly.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_417000/417192.stm
: Did the eclipse transform your life? Did your world stop and restart? Did
demons/aliens/spies take control of your brain? Were wizards born? How many?

# Y2K - Warner Bros Kills Big 'Y2K' Film Project - Gov't Pressure? Hollywood
has killed the film Y2K, which should cause citizens to question how much
they are permitted to know about the true state of the Year 2000 computer
glitch. Warner Brothers canceled plans for its Y2K disaster flick partly
because, as its producer said, there was a lack of faith in the ability of
audiences to discern the difference between fictional and real-world
computer disruptions. http://www.sightings.com/politics4/y2kbroskills.htm
: Can you distinguish between cinema & reality? Is there a difference? Has
your gov't suppressed the awful truth about the Y2K bug? Are you fearful?

# London Insurance Firms Look At 5-5-2000. In case the upcoming Millennial
Y2K disaster wounldn't be bad enough, a number of London insurance firms
have hired Dr. Julian Salt, a leading risk expert, to look into the May 5
2000 planetary alignment of planets & Sun. Dr. Salt sez the alignment may
be catastrophic for some countries. "Six planets are going to line up for
the first time in 6000 years. On May 5 2000, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter
and Saturn will be in line with [Sol, Earth & Luna]. Potentially the grav-
ity force could be strong and cause earthquakes and volcanic activity."
And maybe jock itch: http://sites.netscape.net/gsussnzl/insurance
: Will the world end on 1-1-2K, 5-5-2K, 12-12-2012, the day after tomorrow,
never? Have planetary alignments caused previous tectonic disasters? Really?

# TALK WITH A PSYCHIC FRIEND. "[Psychic organizations] all have web sites.
Except for the dowsers. Dowsers are sort of Luddites. Dowsers are terrific
though. They show up with copper bars wrapped around with like aluminum
tubing and stuff, I mean, weird shit. Dowsing has become this catch-all
phrase for like detecting some things with other things. 'I lost my baby
in this thicket!' Call a dowser! The dowser comes in with like, a monkey's
severed hand inside a shoe box wrapped with wax string. And the hand jumps
around. Dowsers can search for anything, they search for uranium, oil,
it's really weird tho..." http://www.feedmag.com/bottomfeeders/bf239.html
: Do you dowse? What's your status in the psychic community? Can you detect
anything? Can anything detect you? Do you have any psychic friends? Why not?

# Tag - You're It! (ABC) Tagging murres to track their movements isn't that
unlike an alien abduction. And 25 minutes later, they have a little metal
rod sticking out their backs. Then the implants start firing <bzzzzt>...
abcnews.go.com/sections/science/DailyNews/exped_tatooshisland7_990806.html
: What entities would you like to abduct and implant? Have you been abducted
and implanted? Do you feel like murres? Do metal rods stick from your back?

# Mad Cow - Attempts To Create 'Super Cattle' May Have Lead To BSE Disease.
The "mad cow" epidemic may have been caused by scientific attempts in the
1980s to create a super cow. Experts "believe that hormones, taken from
the brains of slaughterhouse carcasses, were injected into cows in a bid
to create a new breed of super-cattle. The hormones, extracted from pitu-
itary glands, were transmitted in an agent that spread mad cow disease and
infected humans as new variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (nvCJD)." The use
of human growth hormones in the past has created scientific nightmares as
results: http://www.sightings.com/health3/cown.htm

: Have you bred any superbeasts lately? Have you spread any noxious diseases
amongst humans? Did aliens help you or did you do it all on your own? How??
