an angry fix, angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connect-
ion to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night to produce this bulletin.

# Is There Any Linkage Between Recent Natural Disasters? WASHINGTON (CNN)
When waves of natural disasters strike worldwide, it's only natural for
people to wonder if there's a link between the huge forces of nature. Was
Hurricane Floyd related to a monster typhoon battering Hong Kong the same
week? Did the deadly earthquake in Turkey pull the seismic trigger for the
quake in Taiwan? Some answers can be found at the Lamont-Doherty Earth
Observatory, where specialists track what happens beneath Earth's surface
and above it. http://www.sightings.com/earthchanges/naturaldisaster_e.htm
: Are waves of disaster caused by human conspiracy, alien mechanisms, divine
intervention, bad karma, microscopic radioactive spiders from the galactic
core < http://www.sonic.net/~ric/music/mysongs2.htm#micr > or me? Why not?

# Unusually Hot, Cold Oceans Create Corridor For More Storms. (SD) Three
current storms captured by a NASA satellite show how unusual sea temp-
eratures are creating a clear corridor in the Atlantic for more to come.
Make way: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1999/09/990923072537.htm
: Are storm paths created by planetary dynamics, weather-control programs,
deities/demons, Reptilioids/Republicans, robots, me? Do you direct storms?

# Taiwan Moon Festival is mainly sad. CHUNGLIAO (AP) Thousands of Taiwanese
left homeless by this week's deadly earthquake have little to celebrate as
they mark one of their most important holidays, the Autumn Moon Festival.
People traditionally go outside to gaze at the moon, but this year many
will be looking to the skies from tent cities quickly erected after more
than 6,000 homes on the island were destroyed. The festival falls in the
middle of the eighth lunar Chinese month, when the moon is supposed to be
at its fullest. With a ripe, round moon considered a symbol of happiness,
the national holiday is also a time for family reunions. Lucky to be alive
- see http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2561300600-0d2
: Do disasters inconveniently occur on your festival days? Do your festivals
cause natural disasters? Were your festivals started by humans, aliens, me?

# First Sea-Level Photos Of Massive Antarctic Iceberg. Digital photographs
of iceberg B-10-A are now available from the National Science Foundation
(NSF). B-10-A is a massive iceberg that is drifting towards South America
from Antarctica and may threaten shipping lanes around Cape Horn. Run!
Run! http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1999/09/990924075407.htm
: Do you eagerly await numerous swarms of massive icebergs roaming the seas
as global warming increases? Is this a good way to interdict shipping? Why?

# Clifford Stone - 21 Years In Army UFO Recovery / National Security. When 1
was 7 1 had my first close encounter with a UFO, followed by interactions
with alien entities. I served in the Army for over 2 1 years. At first, 1
was reluctant, then afraid, then disillusioned by the way the Government
handles the subject. http://utenti.tripod.it/paolaharris/national.html
: Have you recovered any UFOs lately? When did you first encounter aliens?
Is govt disillusioning? Did you ever have illusions? Did the Army cure them?

# Going gooey - liquid genius of tomorrow's robots. FORGET A SOPHISTICATED
BRAIN. To find its way around, all a robot needs is a headful of chemical
goo. The idea that a liquid or gel can produce "intelligent" behaviour
without any form of number crunching depends upon the computational and
problem-solving properties of a strange class of chemical reactions.
Think about it: http://www.newscientist.com/ns/19990925/newsstory3.html
: Is your brain gooey? Have you looked lately? Do you produce intelligent
behaviours? Do you crunch numbers? If you're gooey, how loud do you crunch?

# Chemists Describe "Fluorescent" Method For DNA Computing. Duke U. chemists
versed at conducting large numbers of simultaneous DNA reactions on the
surfaces of tiny glass microchips have demonstrated how to use a recent
modification of this technique as a precise molecular computer. Think'n'
glow: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1999/09/990924075458.htm
: Does your DNA structure already constitute a massively-parallel computer?
Do you control it? When will externally-controllable molecular computers be
implanted throughout your body? Are they already? Who controls them? How??
