# Once-ridiculed animal psychic is now in demand. A German Shepherd telepa-
thically confessed to Diane Forestell that he liked to goose people with
his snout because it's funny. For that kind of stuff, people pay her $100.
Says the Wash.Post of Forestell: "She rhapsodizes about communicating tel-
epathically with lethargic horses in Arizona, sullen cats in New Zealand,
a truculent German shepherd in Germany, lascivious mares in Maryland." Ah.

# The great Scottish UFO mystery - Templar Lodge Hotel: a place of ghosts,
knights and other strange, unworldly sights. A piece of 'alien' cloth,
strange lights in the sky, a rock from outer space; all the ingredients
of an ET mystery. But what is really going on in a Scottish village?
www.sunday-times.co.uk/news/pages/tim/2000/01/19/timfeafea02002.html?999
: Would any self-respecting ET bother to go to Scotland? Are Scots ETs? How
could you tell? Is Scotch a mind-control drug? Are haggis fit for Reptoids?
# No. 13 Being Rehabilitated. AUCKLAND, New Zealand (Reuters) People in
New Zealand's largest city won't be able to avoid the unlucky number 13

@ Somebody's been putting some very...interesting sites up near the top of
the World Charts Federation's <http://worldcharts.com/wcm-full.html> top
100 websites. Apart from the freaky right-wing low-verification news sites
like World Net Daily <http://www.worldnetdaily.com/>, there's Bob Enyart's
<http://enyart.com/>, ShadowGov site <http://shadowgov.com/>, where you
get to play Fantasy Judge, & his associated sites KGOV <http://kgov.com/>
and Theology Online <http://www.theologyonline.com/>. If it wasn't for his
rewrite of the Constitution <http://shadowgov.com/main.html#_top> or odd
<http://www.shadowgov.com/constitution/politicalspectrumright.jpg> polit-
ical theories , I might be able to laugh him off as another wacko. This
one however, already has a talk show & is trying to get broader reception
<http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/Studio/5097/>. And be sure to
see http://www.memepool.com/Subject/Wackos/
: Do you have odd political theories? Do you like to rewrite constitutions,
history, news? Does anyone care what you think? Do the voices in your head
keep you well-informed? Are you analyzing, analyzed, anal? Do you foam???
@ Are 95 Theses <http://www.aomin.org/95THESES.html> just barely enough?

# US-Canada Inc: Next big merger? (UPI) The year-end edition of Maclean's,

American passport. http://www.vny.com/cf/News/upidetail.cfm?QID=58325

# Revelations in art - MILLENNIAL DREAMS: VISION AND PROPHECY IN AMERICAN
FOLK ART. For most people, millennial fever passed with New Year's Eve.

the Bible, in which evil will be banished from the Earth and Christ will
reign. Expressed: http://www.bergen.com/previews/folkart14200001147.htm
: Have you had a millennial vision lately? Have you expressed it visually?

# GM Crops Not Tested For Health Safety. OTTAWA (CP) Many genetically modi-
fied crops approved in Canada have never been tested for harmful health
effects, sez a newly formed group of scientists and academics. The federal

to determine whether newly created crops are safe, AgBiotech Alert Canada

: Have you thoroughly tested your latest genetically-modified lifeforms? Do
you worry about them escaping into the environment, taking over the world,
dissolving humanity into protoplasmic goo, or just making everyone itch?
