# US Scientist Claims He 'Lost' Nuclear Secrets. WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The

: How many nuclear secrets/fragments/devices have you 'lost' lately? Did the
voices in your head tell you where to lose them? Who has them now? Really???

@ CHURCH OF VIRUS, Virus is: a forum for rational discourse - a memetically
engineered atheistic religion - a synthesis of religion & evolution - the
best possible conceptual framework for living/thinking - a neo-cybernetic
philosophy for the 21st century - Darwin's dangerous idea out of control -
an extended phenotype of the Virion Council: http://www.lucifer.com/virus/
: Is your belief system viral in nature? How do religions evolve? Is your
faith well-engineered? Are you? Is evolution out of control? Are you? How?
# Darwin Wars: when radicals dumped a pitcher of water on E.O. Wilson at
an AAAS meeting, S.J. Gould grabbed the mike, quoting Lenin on misuse

# School of Assassins protested. FORT BENNING, Ga. Thousands of protesters,
many wearing black robes and white death masks, marched onto Fort Benning
to protest human rights abuses they say are committed by graduates of the
Army's School of the Americas. Def.Sec. Cohen announced that the School
would remain open despite Congressional closure - U.S. a military dicta-
torship: http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2562198731-bff
# Chemtrails Continue To Sicken Many - International Uproar Brewing. Exactly
one year after Americans in 48 states began noticing an abrupt increase in
unusual aerial activity and sickness on the ground, "flu-like" ailments
are once again up sharply as eyewitnesses describe multiple broad white
plumes being laid by tanker-type aircraft in Xs and grid patterns over the
U.S. and central & western Canada. http://www.sightings.com/ufo5/chem.htm
: Would you rather be assassinate or environmentally poisoned? What's your
favorite military dictatorship? Are you a death-dealer? Is death-dealing fun
and/or profitable and/or necessary and/or patriotic? D'ya want to kill me?

# Prof Uses Statistics To Test Psychic Claims. (U-WIRE) DAVIS, CA -- If you
ever thought you could visualize a distant place or could telecommunicate
with others, you may not be so crazy. Jessica Utts, a UC-Davis statistics
professor, has raised many eyebrows with claims like this one, which she
has defended on network TV. She said she believes that through the use of
scientific analysis and statistics, she has found conclusive evidence for
parapsychological activity. "Using the standards applied to any other
area of science, it is concluded that psychic functioning has been well
established" - see http://news.excite.com/news/uw/991117/odd-115
: Is it true that "figgers don't lie, but liars figger"?? Have you ever lied
with statistics? Did you just fib a little? Can you lie telepathically? How?

@ Some genius at Microsoft thought it logical to put the computer shutdown
command under "Start." Then there's the guy who designed the Honeywell
thermostat. "Our computerized appliances and computer software all behave
in that same obnoxious, demanding way... because that's how programmers
think." Burn their brains: http://www.forbes.com/asap/99/1112/279.htm

<http://www.scborromeo.org/saints/isidores.htm> and computer users. And
