# Science Marches On, But Can Philosophy? Some 2,400 years after the first
deep thinkers knotted their brows over "What is man?" modern philosophers
are pondering a new question: "Should we make man?" Or more than man? Or
other than man? Or...?? http://www.sltrib.com/02272000/utah/29781.htm
# `Cloning must be for scientific reasons' - MUMBAI: After Dolly, the
sheep, it is now the turn of Woolly, the mammoth to be cloned. And
you're next, bubba: http://www.timesofindia.com/today/27mbom5.htm
: What's your favorite meta-clone? Have you built any super-entities lately?
Are you/they/we godlike in power? Have you designed/(re)grown/enhanced any
neural networks lately? Have you spliced them into yourself, pigs, fish, me?

# Earphone-shaped" UFO in Tibet - On 22 Nov 1989, I saw an "earphone-like"
UFO in Tibet. Local people said many have seen the object before. On June
22 1994, 3 friends and I saw the object again. In the Tibetan language,
there is a word which is written in the same shape as the earphone-like
UFO. http://www.sinopolis.com/Archives/Filex/filex_991227_02.htm

: D'ya prefer UFOs shaped like earphones, saucers, triangles, pyramids, big
teardrops, Oscar Mayer Wienermobiles, the Michelin Man, clouds, ducks, me?
Do you have words written in the same shapes as UFOs? What words? Say what?

# NUMBER OF JUVENILES SENT TO ADULT PRISONS SKYROCKETING. Violent juvenile
offenders are more likely to serve time in adult state prisons compared
to 15 years ago, according to a newly released study by the Justice
Dept. http://CNN.com/2000/US/02/27/juveniles.in.jail/index.html
: Have you conspired to incarcerate/disenfranchise juveniles of all or just
selected ethnic groups? If adulthood is about responsibility, and juveniles
are tried/punished as adults, should juveniles acquitted of adult charges be
granted the right to vote, marry, bear arms? Are you only considered adult
if you've done something bad, not if you've done something good? How come?

@ Numerology Report. Numerology is the study of the symbolism of numbers. It
is used to determine a persons personality, strengths talents, obstacles
to be overcome, inner needs, emotional reactions and ways of dealing with
others. The roots of numerology can be traced back some 10,000 years or
more to Egypt & Babylonia. With gematria: http://caus.org/numerology.html
: What's your favorite numerology/gematria system: Babylonian [base 12/60],
Egyptian/Chinese [base 10], California Indian [base 8], all nonalphabetic;
Greek [base 24 alphanumeric], Hebrew [base 22 alphanumeric], Roman [base 5,
no 0], Mayan [base 20, with 0], Hindu/Arabic [base 10, with 0], various al-
phabets; or modern Western [base 10 with 0, 26 letters]? D'ya get different
results with different systems? Are the differences swamped-out by symbolic
interpretation? What dactylics d'ya use if you have 6 fingers per hand? How?

# Xenotransplants Spur Fears Of the Next Big Plague. NEW YORK — Lurking
inside every pig is a dormant virus that could be awakening soon at a
blood bank or hospital near you. Xenotransplantation, the implanting of
animal organs or tissue into humans, has gone from idea to reality.
Chimera: http://www.foxnews.com/health/021100/xenotransplant.sml
: What species would you most like to be part of? Are you hog-wild for xeno-
transplantation? What part of you should be transplanted into pigs? Have you
done so already? Are they better pigs because of you? Are y'r masters happy?
# THREE DEAD IN FIRST OUTBREAK OF HANTAVIRUS IN PANAMA. Panama declared an
epidemic alert and canceled traditional Lenten carnivals in a central pro-
vince after the country's first outbreak of the deadly hantavirus killed
3 people. Ratshit: http://CNN.com/2000/HEALTH/02/25/panama.hantavirus.ap/
: Have you genetically engineered hantavirus to attack specific ethnicities,
or are you just trying to infect anyone? Are you hantavirus biowar efforts
going much more slowly than your AIDs/Ebola programs by intent or accident?

# Sweeping up Stardust -- Our solar system is moving through a cloud of gas
and dust from between the stars. NASA's STARDUST probe began collecting
samples of the cloud last week. It's quite a mess to clean up, all that
dust. Who farted? http://spacescience.com/headlines/y2000/ast27feb_1.htm
# Going Comet Wild -- The STARDUST probe celebrated its first year in space
this month en route to mysterious comet Wild-2. It bypassed several boring
comets enroute: http://spacescience.com/headlines/y2000/ast27feb_2.htm
# Waiting for Cygnus X-3 -- One of the brightest x-ray sources in the Milky
Way seems about to erupt in a dazzling flare. By studying the explosion
scientists hope to unravel an extragalactic mystery. Bomb designers are
hoping for hints: http://spacescience.com/headlines/y2000/ast25feb_1m.htm
: Is your place just *covered* in cosmic dust? Are sloppy Reptilioids resp-
onsible? Don't they ever clean up after themselves? Do they set off those
cosmic firecrackers too? Why don't the Galactic Security Cops stop them???

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soap-boxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
