# Indian population nears 1 bln. NEW DELHI (AP) - Buzzing scooters, banana
carts and rickshaws jostle with the beggars and children for a pinch of
space in the overstuffed alleys of Delhi's old city. India's population is
about to hit 1 billion; the crammed country looks ready to burst. Roughly
one in six people on Earth is Indian. There are about 72,000 Indians born
every day, and the population grows by about 16 million a year - almost
equivalent to adding the whole population of Australia every 12 months.
See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2560724811-c86
: Is one Australia enough? Would a new Australia every year be too much? Do
you like Australia? Where would all the Indians go? Where would YOU go? Why?

# Bio Weapons Said More Devastating Than Nukes. SYDNEY (AFP) Effective germ-
laden weapons have been developed and can potentially cause far greater
devastation than nuclear arms, bio-terrorism experts report. The Soviet
Union had successfully developed warheads filled with anthrax, smallpox,
plague and the Ebola virus. The experiments went on into the early 1990s
despite the Soviet Union signing the international treaty banning toxin
weapons in 1972. http://www.sightings.com/politics4/biodev.htm
: Would you rather be nuked, gassed, infected, burnt, eaten by crocodiles or
ants? Do you breed Ebola in your home lab? Have you tested it? Does it work?

the politics, the aliens? If your were Mary, where would you avoid? Why??

PARIS (AFP) This century's social and medical advances have made possible
a high degree of individual mastery over man's most powerful instinct, at

Far from becoming simpler, sex has become a social, psychological and
political minefield. http://www.sightings.com/politics4/sex.htm
: Have you killed with sex? Have you been killed by sex? Was it worth it???

"Miss Texas, Mary Sue Carol Langley, fluffed her bouffant blond hair
and crammed her ample bosoms into the two-sizes-too-small bikini top,
confident that her dramatic portrayal of Lady Macbeth in the talent
competition and her passionate stand on nuclear disarmament would
place her in the top five pageant finalists; but she couldn't shake
the feeling that she had missed something when the judge from Arkansas
asked her surreptitiously whether she could play on the harmonica,
only to learn later to her chagrin that what he had actually asked
was whether she would play around . . . like Monica." --Patricia A.
