# OOPS! Nuke Secrets Disclosed by Mistake - DoE Releases, Retracts Weapons
Data. WASHINGTON (AP) -- The government's aggressive push five years ago
to declassify historic papers led to about 1,000 documents containing
nuclear weapons secrets to be mistakenly declassified. Is our face red!
www.apbnews.com/newscenter/breakingnews/2000/01/22/nukesecrets0122_01.html
: Have you released any nuclear secrets lately? Was your leak intentional,
accidental, un-conscious, other-directed? Are you, like, rilly, rilly sorry?
Are you afraid of what will happen next? Should you be? Should WE be? Why?

# Kidnapped Son of Cult Leader Found. TOKYO - Police on Sunday found the
kidnapped son of a former cult guru who is on trial for the 1995 sarin
gassing on Tokyo subways. The 7-year-old boy had been abducted Friday by
several people believed to be members of the Aum Shinri Kyo cult. It was
unclear why the child, the son of Shoko Asahara, was kidnapped. Japanese
media reports said it was probably related to infighting within the
cult. http://www.usatoday.com/aponline/2000012309/2000012309393400.htm
: Does y'r cult have serious factional disputes? Do all cults? Do all belief
systems tend to fragment into incompatible factions? Is that how ya can tell
you're dealing with beliefs, not reality? What's your favorite schism? Why?

# UK Catholic Cardinal Likens Gay Lobby to Nazis. EDINBURGH (Reuters) -
The leader of Scotland's Roman Catholics provoked an angry reaction
from gay rights groups on Sunday by comparing the threat from the
homosexual lobby in Europe to that of the Nazis during World War Two.
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20000123/wl/scotland_gays_1.html
: Who has burnt more people: ActUp, Nazis, the Vatican's Holy Office [the
Inquisition]?? Is the Cardinal using the Big Lie technique? What's your fave
Big Lie? Do you lie big? Do you control minds? Do you practice a lot? How?

# Pornography: an epidemic. Easy access on Net spurs religious intervention.
Ever-beckoning and always available, Joe's computer seemed to call out
every time he walked past his home office. Where others saw a dark, blank
screen, he saw the tawdry images dance through his mind, even when he
wasn't wired into the Internet. The secret obsession was affecting his
work, his family, even his relationship with God. He was hooked. What a
pickle: http://www.deseretnews.com/dn/view/0,1249,150007699,00.html
: Are you addicted to sex, porn, gods, food, drugs, ETs, TV, me? Does porn
address more basic drives than religion? Are the most successful religions
pornographic? D'ya prefer sex.porn, god.porn, war.porn, celeb.porn, robots?

# Spain's Mystery Ice Falls May Be Pranks. MADRID [AP] -- Spain's great ice
mystery is beginning to look like a prank. About 30 chunks of ice are said
to have dropped from the sky since Jan. 8, some the size of basketballs,
often in gloriously sunny weather, & just about every Spanish region has
taken a hit. http://news.excite.com/news/ap/000119/16/spain-mystery-ice
# Weird weather blamed for Spain ice: www.newshub.com/cgibin/rd.cgi?9264975
: Has any ice fallen on you lately? Was it dropped from an aeroplane, UFO,
balloon, bird? Was it catapulted by pranksters? Does it portend calamitous
climate shifts, a new ice age, uncontrolled global warming? Are you ready?

# Bird-Dino Link Questioned. BEIJING (AP) - A fossil hailed as an important
find supporting the theory that birds evolved from dinosaurs is really a
composite of fossils from different creatures. Pitfall of probing smuggled
fossils: http://news.excite.com/news/ap/000121/13/feathered-dinosaurs
: What's your fave fossil? Is it real? Are you? If your fossilized remains
were found in a million years, would fraud be suspected? Why should members
of another species believe that you're put together the way you are? Huh??
