# Number Of Potentially Hazardous Asteroids Grows To 200. Officials at the
Minor Planet Center announced the addition of a 200th asteroid to a list
of Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs). These rocks in space can pass
within 5 million miles of Earth and are brighter than magnitude 22, a
measurement that suggests the asteroids are more than about 600 feet
across. http://www.sightings.com/ufo5/stroids.htm

http://www.sightings.com/ufo5/Updateclassm.htm
: Will terrestrial devastation via Solar [Coronal] Mass Ejection [CME] be my
birthday gift? Would you rather be destroyed by CME, asteroid strike, global
warming, plague, divine will, nukes, locusts/ants, chupacabras, HAARP, sex?

$ PROFITS CONFAB. Prophets Conference ~ Santa Fe - Rearrange the planetary
field of consciousness & shake the foundations of consensus Reality by
igniting the powerful divine spark within us all. We're on a very long
journey leading to our becoming the New People, standing ready for the New
Reality. Our quest for transformation calls for healing the split between
science & spirituality, between the physical & the metaphysical, between
body & mind, between time & eternity, and between ourselves & our Earth.
We are the mystics, the scientists, the artists, the cybernauts, the
explorers, the dreamers, the magicians, the visionaries, the shaman, the
mapmakers, the lovers, and the healers, stepping out from the fringe, and
coming together to redefine the possible. Together, we unlock the great
life force and evolve into novelty and breakthrough, allowing our visions
to come true. Wooga wooga: http://greatmystery.org/santafeconference.html
: Do you ignite your divine spark to light farts? Does the New Reality cost
more than the Old? Does the split between time & eternity drain your laptop
batteries? Why have multiple mystics/lovers/healers but just one shaman? If
you unlock a great life force will the cats escape? D'ya charge for visions?

# S. Carolina Capital Attacked by UN, Marines. Columbia, South Carolina is
currently being subjected to a Urban Warfare assault by masses of U.S.
Marines and U.N. troops. Although the assault was originally scheduled

: What cities/towns/villages would you most like to invade? Have you invaded
any lately? Were they worth the bother? Would you rather go to Las Vegas???

# Holy Shroud Speaks of Millennium, Apocalypse. DALLAS (PRNewswire) Put
aside for a moment the question of whether the Shroud of Turin is really
the Holy Shroud, the cloth in which Jesus was buried. Ask instead what
difference it would make, one way or the other. Or if you really give a
rat's ass about it: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/991109/holiday_pa_1.html
: Do you care about the Turin Shroud? Have you enriched authors who blather
about it? Do you engage in heated argument over it? Do you yourself foment
such debate, profit from the arguments, exploit the fraud, blather? Why not?

: What's y'r favorite visual prosthesis? Do you need more eyes? Are eyes too
limited? Should wideband EMF sensors plug directly into your visual centers?
Do you have such implants already? D'ya pity those who merely 'see'? Should/
do swarms of tiny flying sensors float around you, giving a "big picture"
of your surroundings? Do these make you invulnerable to all threats? Yeah?

# Opening Secret U-Files. GILMOUR, Ont. If, as The X-Files tells us, "The
Truth is Out There", Agent Mulder may well be referring to rural Ontario.
For deep in the hinterlands of this seemingly normal province, ordinary
people report seeing extraordinary things. Clusters of blinding lights.
A V-shaped object gliding low over a country home. Mysteries that fleet-
ingly suggest Toronto may not be the Centre of the Universe. Call'em the
U-Files. Unexplained. Unusual. And sometimes, just plain Unfathomable.
(Oh yeah. 'U' is also for 'UFOs.') http://sightings.com/ufo5/secretu.htm
: Is your town The Centre Of The Universe or not? Do you see unusual things?
Even with the TV turned off? Even with the glue tube capped? Even awake???

As the velvet squid wrapped its cold, mossy tentacles ever more tightly
around her lower limbs, Alicia ceased her struggles, and loosening her
grasp on her high school ring, she let it fall into the depths of the
aquamarine waters surrounding Cataline Island, murmuring weakly, "Let
it lie there, as my broken body will lie, alone and abondoned, a puzzle
to the glass-bottom boats and an eternal reproach to my fiance, that
faithless snorkeler." --Anne Pautler
