# Privacy-loving space aliens smack down on SETI! A SETI radio telescope has
been destroyed and scientists fear that space aliens may be responsible. A
"pulsating blue beam" streaked out of the sky & slammed into the 250-foot
Rand Wilson telescope near Johannesburg, South Africa, lighting up the
facility and a quarter-mile area surrounding it. Now tangle of twisted
metal: http://www.theregister.co.uk/000419-000004.html [Thanks, Gerardo!]
# Mysterious 'Area 51' Photos Prompt Web Meltdown. SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -
Perhaps the aliens pulled the plug. A US firm's move to post Russian spy
satellite photos of 'Area 51', the mysterious USAF test site in Nevada, on
the Internet prompted a Web meltdown on Tuesday as UFO buffs jammed its
computers. http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20000418/wr/life_area_1.html
@ Join the Area51 Photo Jam Now: http://www.fas.org/irp/overhead/groom.htm

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0806119195/sr=1-2/104-0957235-0653221
or anything else relevant to Native American archaeoastronomy? Do you know
about the observatories of the Pawnee, Chumash, 'Anasazi', Incas, etc? Were

you have to account for the direction of Earth's rotation? Do your rockets
always crash because you point'em the wrong way? Can BillGates fix that? Eh?

@ GENETICS PLUS TIME. It does look as if Darwin was, more or less, right.
Most new discoveries fit well into his ideas. At the end of the century
biology looks like a more straight-forward science than it did even 20
years ago, which is a bit surprising, because, to the public, life seems
fundamentally a mess. http://edge.org/3rd_culture/jones/jones_index.html
@ Doctor’s Office: Enter at your own risk! When a patient comes into a med-
ical office, there are invisible forces that are put into play. The doctor
sees it as his duty to "fix your symptoms" and thus rob you of discovering
what created them in the first place. Your compromised state of mind:
http://www.homeopathyusa.com/doctors_office_enter_at_your_own.htm
: Does your homeopathist know/care what the scientific method is? Does your
biologist know/care what homeopathy is? D'ya mind that homeopathy predates
the germ theory of disease, and has no doctrines infection? Do you worry??
