# Waco Reenactment Poo-Poohed. WASHINGTON (Reuters) The Justice Dept told a

$ CROP CIRCLE MUSIC. I have a new CD release on MP3.com called CROP CIRCLE
MUSIC. It is a relaxing ambient space music,ideal for meditation. This
music is totally generated from crop circle images using scales derived
from the geometry of certain crop circle formations. THERE ARE NO HUMAN
MUSICIANS on this recording. This work is based on the theories of Prof.
Gerald Hawkins who first discovered the diatonic/musical relationships
in certain crop formations. Stephen J Smith: www.mp3.com/stephensmith
: Are your favorite musicians humans, aliens, robots, vegetables? Do tone-
deaf aliens encode music in flat crop circles? Are y'r musical relationships
more rewarding than your interpersonal relationships? Does a buzzing implant
interfere with your enjoyment of music? Are you ambient? Are your sounds??
@ The program also performs geometric analysis on ratios & diameters of the
component sections of the formation as well. The spec of the program is
available at: http://www.cropcircleresearch.com/Thoth/software.html

# THE CHEMISTRY OF CHOCOLATE ADDICTION. Chocolate is probably the most
craved legal substance in North America - especially by women. Some
researchers have finally uncovered the chemical basis for "chocoholism."
http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=22247
: Can foods be gene.modified to be extremely addictive? Are 'junk-foods' so
prepared already? Have you withdrawn from FrankenCheezeBurgers cold-turkey?
Will you join Chocaholics Chanonymous? Are you still in denial? In derine?

# BOGUS MAGNET ADS SNAG THE CHRONICALLY ILL. Here's the latest bogus magnet
therapy promo - promising to cure everything under the sun. What is most
disturbing is the ad implies that this therapy will allow people to stop
using "unnecessary medication." If some people believed this & quit taking
medication they needed, it could be deadly. Weeding out the gene pool:

: Have you cured any ailments with magnets lately? How many did you eat? Do
aliens wipe you with magnets? Are aliens magnetic? Do they stick to fridges?

unveiled the massive cornerstone for a mosque next to a major Xian shrine.
The Vatican sharply criticized Israel for allowing Muslims to build the
mosque next to the Basilica of the Annunciation, saying it would fuel
"future conflicts and tensions" between Christians and Muslims in the
town. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2562227885-29d
: Do you like to exacerbate tensions between religious groups? Is that as
much fun as pro wrestling, tractor races, cockfights, or dissecting ETs??
