# Yucca Plant Branches Out Into Stock Market. STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - A yucca
plant is the latest investor on the Stockholm stock exchange, issuing buy
and sell orders. Artist Ola Pehrson has attached electrodes to the plant's
leaves; a sensor linked to a computer program tracking the 16 most active
stocks feels the plant's growth movements. When the yucca's stock recom-
mendations perform better than the bourse's general index, it is given
water and light. If the plant fails to deliver profits, it stays dry
and in the dark. http://news.excite.com/news/r/990921/10/odd-yucca
: Are plants easier to condition than people? Are you undergoing a similar
mind-control regime? Are you dry and in the dark a lot? Do you even notice?

# Physicist urges reading of creation story as parable. (DN) As science and
religion argue over the origins of the universe, they miss the purpose of
the first chapter of the Bible, sez a physicist-priest. "Genesis 1 was not
meant to be a cosmology but a parable with a most important moral," said
Rev. Stanley L Jaki, prof. of science history at Seton Hall U. & Catholic
priest. "In Genesis 1, the creator himself is set up as a role model for
observing the Sabbath after his greatest work, which is the creation of
all." http://www.deseretnews.com/dn/view/1,1249,115009736,00.html
: D'ya interpret biblical texts? All of'em? Do any other interpreters agree
with your views? Are your disagreements violent? What do parables mean? Why?

@ Petition to Re-Image Cydonia Region of Mars. (P3N) We are calling on our
elected representatives to intervene on behalf of all national and inter-
national citizens, to lobby NASA to conduct a re-imaging of the Cydonia
region of Mars during its next pass over that area in November of 1999.
It is now time to act and call upon NASA and those agencies governing
this project to give a full account: http://caus.org/pn092199.htm
: What's your favorite Martian image? Have you seen the Happy Face on Mars,
the Kermit the Frog on Mars, the Alfred E. Newman on Mars? What were the ETs
trying to tell us with those images? What do they tell politicos? What else?

# Gruesome Tradition of Indonesian Warfare. JAKARTA - International troops
landing in East Timor face Indonesians who have traditions of warfare
rarely displayed on modern battlefields, such as poisonous blowpipes,
circumcision of prisoners, decapitations and cannibalism. Torture, and the
use of child soldiers, are also skills that may be used-especially against
Caucasian troops. http://www.zolatimes.com/V3.37/timor_war.htm
: Does your culture have gruesome warfare traditions? Do all cultures? Does
your belief system promote gruesome warfare? Do all belief systems? Why not?

# Ants provide scare for the elderly. (BBC) Carers for elderly patients and
young children should keep an eye open for a new health risk, doctors have
warned - attack by fire ants. A report described how they attacked two
elderly patients in their beds at two Mississippi nursing homes. One died
within five days, the other after 13 months. The patients were found
covered with ants, with ant trails leading from the floor to their beds.
