# Dolly exposed as fake clone. DOLLY THE SHEEP, who became a global megastar
for being the world's first adult cloned mammal, has been exposed as an
impostor. Scientists find that she is not technically a clone. Genetic
analysis of Dolly's DNA has revealed she is an amalgam of two animals and
is therefore a "chimera" with two genetic "mothers" rather than a pure
clone. Baa: http://www.news-real.com/story/19990831/11/03/5624071_st.html
: Doe you prefer real or fake clones? Are you a real or fake clone? Given
how early fetal cells divide, aren't we all clones? Were you grown or made?

# 3 Russian men take second wives. MOSCOW (AP) Three men in a predominantly
Muslim republic have taken second wives since polygamy was declared legal
last month by the regional leader. Pres. Ruslan Aushev of the southern
Russian republic of Ingushetia decreed that men could legally take up to
four wives, in line with Islamic tradition. Russia's Justice Ministry said
the decree contradicted federal law and should be rescinded, but Aushev
has remained defiant. Three men in Ingushetia have taken advantage of the
decree. No details were reported on the men or their wives. ###
: Does your belief system allow polyandry/polygamy? Would you change faiths
to have more/less mates? How many mates are enough, too few, too many? Why?

# ENTER ROBOTS, SLOWLY. Faster computing means technological hurdles are
falling - The autonomous robots of science fiction have thus far failed to
whir into everyday life: they are too clumsy and expensive for the home,
hobbyists aside, and can be tolerated only for the most repetitive tasks
in industry. But major development projects are making progress in some
of the most difficult areas, thanks to cheaper computing and radio links.
http://www.sciam.com/1999/0999issue/0999techbus2.html
: When will robots replace humans? Should you be replaced? Would your sexual
partners prefer robots? Is sex better with humans, robots, animals, ETs, me?

@ The Hosing Of America: How Media Manipulates Our Minds. "Political demago-
guery is... a problem in our country. The particular form this demagoguery
takes is only a passing phase, and when our current dragons and inner
phantoms have been laid to rest, the eternal demagogue will arise anew. He
will accuse others of conspiracy in order to prove his own importance. He
will try to intimidate those who are neither so iron-fisted nor so hot-
headed as he, and temporarily he will drag some people into the web of his
delusions. Perhaps he will even wear a mantle of martyrdom to arouse the
tears of the weak-hearted. With his emotionalism and suspicion, he will
shatter the trust of citizens in one another."

: Do you demagogue? Is it fun, rewarding, empowering? Are you unimportant?

# BLACK HOLE ATE MY PLANET. Could physicists accidentally make killer black
holes or lethal strange matter that would swallow the Earth? At least
there'd be no one left to say sorry to. UH-OH, the mad scientists are at
it again. In their determination to extract nature's secrets, physicists
in America have built a machine so powerful it has raised fears that it
might cause The End of The World As We Know It. Would you like fries with
that black hole, sir? http://newscientist.com/ns/19990828/ablackhole.html
: Have you created any black holes lately? Have you devoured any planets? Do
you have that capability? Do the aliens? Will alien technology allow us to
build planet-eating black holes? Did the Reptilioids accidentally unleash a
black hole that ate their planet, so they came here? Do you believe them??
