# VIRGINIA DISC HOVERS OVER WITNESSES. RICHMOND -- A disk shaped UFO was
seen by a high school teacher and her two teenagers at 7:00 PM in clear

fear of a major earthquake on the New Madrid fault line. But she doesn't
ignore the warnings, either. "I think it's prudent to be cautious," said
Ms. Johnston, a schoolteacher who was recently looking for heavy wire to

: Have you made any earthquake predictions lately? Were you right? What d'ya
base y'r predictions on? Do you measure geophysical parameters, watch animal
behavior, poll psychics, toss the I Ching, consult Nostradamus, fantasize??

: Are your genes polluted? Should they be cleansed? D'ya have too much waste
space in your genome? Should it be compacted, defragmented? Does your DNA
need better error-checking algorithims? Have you ever suffered a gene crash?

# The Lord isn't PC in the year 2000CE. LONDON. THE Home Office has raised
the prospect of scrapping the phrase Anno Domini (AD) in favour of the
politically correct Common Era. Outraged churchmen are already mustering
to frustrate the advocates of change, led by academics and civil servants
who feel that AD is inappropriate in a multi-faith country. How dare they!

: What's your favorite calendar system? How do you label the years? Does y'r
belief system insist that your calendar & labeling are exclusively correct?
Are all other calendars/labels demon-spawned? Is cultural diversity doo-doo?

In fact, a Florida firm that claims to be developing just such a product
has come up with a number of likely candidates for implantation. They
include prisoners, military personnel, hikers who explore remote areas and
kids whose parents worry they might be kidnapped or -- more likely -- lost
at the mall. You're next: http://www.seattlep-i.com/lifestyle/home24.shtml
: Do you want to track anyone? Do you want anyone to track you? What do you
have to hide? Are you a security risk? To whom? Should you be surveilled??
