# Govt Cover-Ups Revealed. LEESBURG, Fla. /PRNewswire/ -- Do you believe in
govt conspiracies? Did today's technology come from aliens? Read "The Day
After Roswell," Colonel Philip J. Corso's first-hand experience with Area
51. Col. Corso was an intelligence officer in Army R&D at the Pentagon,
who directed the Army's reverse-engineering project using pieces from the
crashed alien space craft. From this program the American industries of
fiber optics, lasers, integrated circuit chips, and super-tenacity fibers
was born. http://news.excite.com/news/pr/000122/fl-flying-saucers
: Have you covered up any alien interactions lately? Which technologies did
you receive from aliens? Are humans too stupid to have made these ourselves?

@ PAIN MANAGEMENT SHOULD BE DOCTOR'S CONCERN, NOT GOVT'S. The govt's mis-
guided war on drugs has resulted in doctors not always prescribing the
pain medication their patients need. While fears of prosecution may be
exaggerated, they are real enough to influence doctor's prescribing
decisions. www.healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=26115
: Is govt illegitimately quashing your rights to get high, relieve/inflict
pain, kill, swear, piss in public, stockpile weapons, have sex with dogs??

# Kids: ad-filled math book is fun. New textbook "Mathematics: Applications
and Connections" uses brand-names to make algebra and geometry relevant to
students. Critics howl about that commercialization, but kids say putting
Nike into schoolbooks is cool. "It's like seeing a commercial while you're
learning," says Steve Girourd, 13, offering a thumbs-up. A model consumer:

: Should kids be taught to be efficient consumers? Should the training start
early? Are you a well-motivated consumer? What have'ya consumed lately? Why?

# Ancient Earth wobble slightly shifted poles. WASHINGTON(AP) Suddenly, long
ago, something changed the Earth's weight distribution, causing the planet
to roll slightly before slowly returning to normal.Scientists aren't sure
just what happened 84 million years ago, but evidence shows Earth shifted
like an out-of-balance ball, relocating the poles and moving the location
of Washington to the tropics. "What it appears that happened, was a rapid
shift," followed by a "slow recovery to where things are today." Coming up
soon: http://www.cnn.com/2000/TECH/space/01/21/earth.roll.ap/index.html
# Scientist-musician digs earthquakes. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The hills are
alive with the sound of music - and so are the Earth's valleys, mid-ocean
ridges and volcanoes. Earthquake waves that topple buildings, raise moun-
tains and split the ground have long been used to study tremors and the
structure of the Earth. Now, they're being turned into sound to make truly
hard-rock music that can help teach seismology. Though seismic waves make
no noise on their own, their motions as recorded by seismometers can be
sped up to produce sounds, says Andrew Michael, a trombone-playing seis-
mologist at the U.S. Geological Survey and composer of a quake quartet.
See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2563571893-45d
: Will Earth lose its balance and fall over soon, rolling about like a drunk
in a merry-go-round? Will seismo-music alert us to the fall? Can you hear it
now? What does it sound like? How long do we have? Will it get an Emmy? Why?
