# Mars probe feared destroyed. (BBC) Nasa's latest probe to Mars is almost
certainly lost. JPL controllers say the $125m spacecraft came too close to
the planet when it tried to manoeuvre into orbit & was probably destroyed.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_455000/455807.stm
# What loss of Mars Climate Orbiter means. (BBC) Many scientists & engineers
face its loss with stoic resignation. Red Planet claims another victim.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_455000/455617.stm
: Who is preventing us from taking a really close look at Mars? What do they
have to hide? What alien civilizations have hidden bases on Mars? Reptoids?

# SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES HAVE SUBTLE POWER. We've all heard the old story,
thoroughly debunked, about subliminal advertising making people buy Coke
and popcorn at the movies. Recent research has revealed, however, that
subliminal messages can have some subtle impact on our attitudes and
behavior. http://healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=17412
: Do subliminal messages reprogram you, control your thoughts/behaviors, set
you on a self-destructive path? What's your favorite subliminal message? Do
you create subliminal messages? Where do you promulgate them? Do they work?
@ WHY DO I TALK IN MY SLEEP? We can't pinpoint a cause, but anxiety is a
suspect. http://healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=17392

# W97M_SUPPL/TROJ_SUPPL - 163 hours until destructive payload activates.
This new virus is distributed via e-mail in an empty Word 97 document.
Upon opening the SUPPL.DOC file, W97M_SUPPL activates and copies itself
to the Windows directory (as ANTHRAX.INI). Once an infected system is
rebooted, TROJ_SUPPL spreads itself by attaching the SUPPL.DOC file to
every outgoing message. After a system has been infected for 163 hours,
TROJ_SUPPL runs its destructive payload, which tries to open all files
with the DOC, XLS, TXT, RTF, DBF, ZIP, ARJ and RAR extensions and truncate
them. http://trend.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=W97M_SUPPL
: Are you protected, infected, fucked? Have your files been destroyed yet?
Have you (un)wittingly spread this virus or others? Is virus-spreading fun?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
# WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO HAVE GERM-FREE FOOD? If you don't think we need
irradiation to make our food supply safer, then read this account of
salmonella infection from fresh, uncooked tomatoes. Enough to gag a
maggot: http://healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=17414
@ TO IRRADIATE OR NOT TO IRRADIATE ... Join the discussion at:
http://healthcentral.com/discussions/Thread.cfm?CFApp=2&Thread_ID=2519&mc=5
: If irradiating food will kill microbes, will irradiating computers destroy
virus and worm infections? Would'ya eat an irradiated computer? Is it tasty?

@ GONZO JOURNALISTS. Finally, a place where incessant chatter about the
latest Kennedy to die is unwelcome. "Real" journalists laugh in the
face of George magazine while making wisecracks about what to do to
the morons who post in its favor. Topics such as free speech on the
Internet and the identification of high-profile plagiarizers keep the
group going at a slow but steady pace. News:alt.journalism.gonzo
: How much real journalism exists in the world? How many real reports are
published/broadcast? How much journalism is disinformation? Who control the
creation/spread of media disinfo? Do you manipulate news? Are you Reptoid?
@ Pat Buchanan is an earnest isolationist, arguing that the US ought to
have stayed out of WWI and shouldn't have fought Hitler in Europe. And
then there are all those Jews... http://weeklystandard.com/bob_9_27.html

# 'URINE LUCK' - ARE DRUG TESTERS STYMIED? "Urine Luck" is just the latest
product to appear on the Internet that claims to help you pass a urine
drug test. Meanwhile, drug testing labs are coming up with ways to detect
products that taint results - and developing more invasive and sensitive
tests. http://healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=17415
: Can you beat drug tests? Do you need to? Do your test-beating strategies
mask any ailments you may suffer from? Are drug tests worth dying for? Why?
# SHOCKER!: MOST PEOPLE WHO CALL IN SICK REALLY AREN'T!

# "Gospel And Guns" group spreads message at schools. Members of the Mercy
Seat Christian Church are handing out pro-gun fliers in the shape of
bullets to teens at metro Milwaukee schools. "We are going out to high
schools to see hearts changed, to share the gospel of Jesus Christ and
to inform students of the true intent of the Second Amendment," says the
group's leader. http://www.jsonline.com/news/wauk/sep99/guns23092299.asp
: Does your belief system cherish weapons as icons? What's your most sacred
weapon? Would you rather Kill for Krist, Kali, Khentamenthes, Kurozumi, Kuk,
Kan, Keraunos, Khons, Kartir, Khepri, Kango, Kisin, Khnum, Kukulkan, or me?

# IMPERSONATOR PREACHES IN THE CHURCH OF ELVIS. Rev. David Castleberry loves
shaking his hips at the altar while he does his Elvis thing. He's credited
for bringing "bikers, doubters, and heavy drinkers" to church, reports the
Wichita Eagle. Getting his act together wasn't easy, the minister says. "I
studied 400 hours of video on Elvis' moves and singing style."

: Do you like religious music? Are musicians deities? I play various lutes -
will you worship me? Will you pierce yourself at my request, give me money/
sex/drugs/jewelry/food, sniff my farts, listen to me blather on? What else?
@ IF I PIERCE MY NIPPLE NOW, CAN I BREASTFEED LATER? Sure, why not?

"I saw something like that. I saw an 'object' way way in the distance flip
flopping (just like Clinton) moving very rapidly west in quick, sporadic,
ups and downs. I looked at it as it skimmed across the sky tangentially
from me. Being a windy day 40mph gusts, I said it could just be something
'blowing in the wind'. I kept an eye on it and it passed in front, and
behind, objects that were close to me, like across the street. Seems a
page from newspaper was airborne a short distance away, at about roof top
level. But when it was against the open sky it was way, way, away. The
damn mainstream media." --Twonky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
