$ CROP CIRCLE MUSIC. A new CD release on MP3.com called Crop Circle Music.
Here is the URL: www.mp3.com/stephensmith This is music generated from
crop circle pictures using scales derived from the geometry crop circle
formations. This is based on the theories of Prof. Gerald Hawkins who
first discovered the diatonic relationships in certain crop formations.
Check it out and tell me what you think. [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Stvsmith)
: Have you made music from crop circles lately? Do crop circles make music
in your head? Do they speak to you in a soft, subtle yet strong language??

# MINI-MRI TO PROVIDE IMAGES FROM INSIDE THE BODY. The US govt has approved
sale of a tiny MRI probe that doctors can thread into a patient's throat
to provide extra-clear images from inside the body instead of the stand-
ard external MRI. http://healthcentral.com/news/newsfulltext.cfm?ID=16676
: Would you like to have internal scanners taking pictures of you from the
inside? Should your body be modeled in VR? Should you be Webcast? When??

# New flying machine planned. SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) It almost sounds too
futuristic to be true, but NASA & a Silicon Valley engineer are developing
a 1-person air scooter that can buzz far over gridlocked streets. Michael
Moshier of Millennium Jet Inc. has spent more than 3 years and close to $1
million on his personal flying machine - see it at www.solotrek.com. Plans
call for it to go up to 80 mph, climb as high as 10,000 feet and get about
20 miles per gallon of regular gasoline. To fly a SoloTrek, a pilot stands
on two footrests, leans on a sliding backrest & grips handles that control
the tilt and speed of Hula Hoop-sized air ducts blowing air at about 45
mph. See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2561173967-b7a
: What will Earth's skies be like when a few billion people are all buzzing
around in personal flyers? Will the crashes be spectacular? When the Rapture
comes, will may flyers fall to earth, crushing the unwary ground-huggers??

# Life close to land spiritual. CHANNING, Mich. (AP) - A breeze rustles the
swamp grass as Mike Nowak lifts a trap from the gurgling stream & removes
a beaver nabbed during the night. With a practiced flick of the wrists, he
swings the sodden carcass over his shoulder into a woven basket strapped
to his back. "Animals are very special to me," the burly trapper sez. "All
my meat has come strictly off the land, so I respect the animals. They
give up their life for you, to feed and clothe you." One might consider
Nowak a throwback to the 17th century coureurs de bois, those French
hunters and trappers among the first Europeans to explore the upper Great
Lakes region. They got along well with native Indians, respecting their
customs and spirituality. Yet the 52-year-old outdoorsman also represents
a very modern cultural phenomenon: Americans who turn away from high-tech.
See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2561180420-1b1
: Do you get in touch with your spirituality by killing things? Has hi-tech
burnt you out? Are you as one with your Indian brethern? Does your implant
tingle? Who is tracking you? Would you mind being devoured by bears? When?

# Hunted deer 'suffer less than thought'. (BBC) A study commissioned by a
pro-hunting group says there is no evidence that hunted deer suffer much.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_449000/449105.stm
: Do you hunt? Do the animals you kill suffer? Would you mind being killed?
Would you suffer much? Do you like suffering? Do you thirst for pain? Whose?

# School to give up game prayer for "positive greeting". [Suggestion: "Have
a nice game."] San Antonio, Texas - School board members really hated
giving up saying a pre-game prayer over the loudspeaker, but you know how
that darn church-and-state thing goes. Don't be surprised if all hell
breaks loose now that prayers are outlawed, warned board trustee Tom Hat-
chett. "I want you to remember this night, so you won't be surprised when
somebody goes crazy and kills somebody," he said. We'll remember that.
http://expressnews.com/pantheon/news-bus/metro/1602bmetrobriefs0916nz.shtml
: If it wasn't for regular prayer, would you go hog-wild murderous, crazily
killing with wild abandon? Is school prayer all that holds jocks in check?

# Mourning" Fort Worth students caught shooting guns. The six high school
boys didn't go to school on Thursday, allegedly because a pal was killed
in Wednesday's church massacre. So what did they do? "They were out there
blazing away with a couple of different kinds of guns and shotgun shells,"
says a cop. "When we had them down at the jail, they all thought it was
funny. They were all laughing and going on." Coping with tragedy - see

: Is shooting therapeutic? Do you mourn by firing rifles, tossing grenades,
shotgunning birds and rabbits, slitting the throats of small fuzzy critters?
Has anyone assessed the results of your mind-control program? Do you pass?
