# Looking Beyond Little Green Men and SETI's Cult. CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.
As cults go, members of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
community are a benign crowd. What's not to love? They're cool. They
want to contact ET - using radiotelescopes. http://caus.org/pn110699.htm
: Have your built/bought/stolen a radiotelescope lately? Do you use it to
contact ETs, deities, demons, robots, me? Do they answer? Are they sexy?

controlled remotely over the Net. "Cyberdildonics" is also yet another
way you can add to the burgeoning economy of the Internet sex industry.

# PUBLISHER YANKS UNABOMBER BOOK DEAL AT LAST MINUTE. Unable to handle Ted
Kaczynski's increasingly strident demands for handling his manuscript, a
Manhattan publisher has pulled the plug on the Unabomber's planned book.
"Toward the end, it wasn't a pleasant exchange at all," said Context Books
publisher Beau Friedlander, who spiked Kaczynski's 548-page "Truth Versus
Lies." http://cnn.com/books/news/9911/05/unabomberbook.ap/index.html
: Are you involved in the plot to suppress Kaczynski's information? Should
he be suppressed? Is the truth too unpalatable for the US public? Are you?
@ SHOULD I SMOKE, SPREAD, OR SWALLOW MY MARIJUANA? Smoking marijuana works
better than swallowing the approved pill form, Marinol. Absorption of the
pill is much slower, and it doesn't contain all of marijuana's active
ingredients. www.healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=21428

"The Dwarf had seemed mild-mannered enough at first, but as she strained
against the rusty iron bracelets which held her fast to the ancient
stones, her shapely bosom heaving, Slobodanka suspected that perhaps
she had angered him by carelessly whistling 'Short People' as they
gingerly made love on the rough boards which were the dusty floor of
the Doctor's laboratory." --T.O'Carroll
