# Sightings of Swedish Lake Monster Renew Hopes! (Reuters) 3 new sightings
this summer of a lake monster said to inhabit Sweden's Great Lake have
rekindled hopes of solving a 360-year-old mystery. The new eye-witness
reports all echoed previous descriptions of the suspected monster said
to lurk in Sweden's fifth-largest lake, which covers 465 square kms.

: Do you hope to find any monsters? Have you found any monsters? Are you a
monster yourself? What's it like to be monstrous? Is it fun, sexy, tiring?

# Church vandalized in southern Nepal. KATMANDU (AP) - A Christian church in
southern Nepal was vandalized by suspected Hindu villagers in a revenge
attack after the desecration of a temple. The church's roof was partially
shattered by the mob at Bendawar village, 100 miles southeast of Katmandu.
Earlier this week, villagers discovered someone urinated and defecated on
the idol of Hindu God Shiva in a local temple. It was not clear who was
responsible. Christian groups have been criticized for religious conver-
sions in Nepal, a country where over 90% of the population are Hindus and
Buddhists. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2560920338-c00
: What holy sites d'ya wanna desecrate? Does your belief system encourage
desecration of rival faiths? Is Xian conversion just cultural genocide??

# Violence In Video Games, Films, TV: Bad. A regular diet of violent images
seen on TV, in movies and in video games is desensitizing today's young
people towards violence and its effects. And I'll kill anyone who says
otherwise: http://www.sightings.com/politics4/kidrambo.htm
: Do you and/or your kids/parents view violent images? Are you desensitized
to violence? Are you more or less desensitized than y'r murderous ancestors?

@ Audio Wave Mind-Control. Predicted from the equations was a fundamental
frequency of 45 kHz for a 2-cm (guinea-pig) head, which was close to the
50-kHz experimental value found by Chou et al. For a 3-cm head, the pred-
icted fundamental was 30 kHz, as compared with 38 kHz found experimentally
for a typical cat. For humans, the predicted fundamental frequencies were
13 kHz for an adult & 18 kHz for an infant. Brain cavity dimensions vary:

carrier wave with control signals? What modulation types do you use? Why?

# Furrow's defense may be insanity. LOS ANGELES(AP) How does a lawyer defend
a case that seems indefensible? The problem may prove especially vexing in
the trial of Buford Furrow, the white supremacist who allegedly confessed
to shooting up a Jewish community center full of children, then killing a
Filipino-American postman, all in the name of hate. Free federal defense
lawyers: http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2560924525-215
: Would you plead insanity for hate killings/assaults? Is hatred insane? Is
white supremacy insane? Does Furrow have misfiring brain implants? How many?
