# LSD-fueled "good girl," 14, plotted to kill family. The former church-
going goody-two-shoes was disciplined by her folks after she started
running with a bad crowd and hanging out with a 22-year-old guy. Cops say
the teen cooked up the murder plan after her parents took away her phone
privileges. "This is a good-girl-gone-bad story,'' says a detective.

: Have you ever been a church-going goody-two-shoes? Did you stop? Why? Have
you ever plotted to kill your family? Did the voices in your head insist? Do
you recall the hypnosis sessions, the alien implant, the hallucinogens? Why?

# Sears drops 'Columbine doll'. HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. (UPI) Sears, Roebuck
and Co. will drop its "modern villain figure" from its Christmas Wish Book
because of complaints the doll resembles the Trench Coat Mafia, whose mem-
bers were responsible for the April shootings at Columbine High School.
According to the catalog: the "12-inch villain is equipped with ski-mask
head, trench coat, body armor, shotgun, and rifle." Sears media flak Peggy
Palter said they decided to drop the doll last week when execs realized it
was "inappropriate." "America's Finest" series of collectible figures -

ever planned or performed a mass-murder? Is it fun? Have you designed/sold
any icons related to mass murders? Are they profitable, appropriate, cute?

@ THE ASTROLOGERS FUND: Investing By The Stars. Celestially & terrestrially,
we expect the stock market to be "fall challenged." Looking forward, we
have the annual October Scare, Y2K, plus the second pass of Jupiter Square
Neptune October 11 and Saturn Square Uranus November 14. Together this
suggests that the "fearless" US investor may begin to exercise caution, if
not fear, for the first time in the recent bull market. http://afund.com

# Giant London Morgue Prepped For New Year's Disasters. A SPORTS centre with
room for up to 1,000 bodies has been set aside as a makeshift mortuary in
case of a disaster in London on millennium night. More than 2 mln people
are expected to line the banks of the Thames to fete the arrival of the
21st century. Emergency planners fear many could end up in the river, on
purpose or by accident. http://sightings.com/politics4/morgue_p.htm
: Do you plan to murder anyone at a millennium party? Will many die then? Is
there a perfect alibi? Are there enough morgues? Will you rent morgue space?
