# ET-SEx (Not what you might think). Forget the New York Stock Exchange, the
  NASDAQ hi-tech index, & other mundane benchmarks of stock market activity.
  Alien Zoo's Jim Dilettoso (www.alienzoo.com) has come up with what might
  just be "the" definitive strategy for multiplying your equity capital. He
  calls it the "Extra Terrestrial Stock Exchange" (or ETSEx for short.) And
  although he calls this fruit of his research "just for fun... for now,"
  Dilettoso's newly developed index may be just as accurate as, say, Louis
  Rukeyser's. Gimmee: http://www.cosmiverse.com/paranormal061402.html

# Shadow Worlds. It may be all around us, a parallel universe of mirror gal-
  axies,mirror plants...even mirror life. THE WORLD on the other side of the
  mirror is a favorite of fantasists: everything is subtly twisted; things
  impossible in our world can happen. Scores of fictional adventurers, from
  Alice onwards,have stepped through into that reflected realm. But it could
  be that the world on the other side of the mirror is more than a fantasy.
  Reality check: http://newscientist.com/features/features.jsp?id=ns224324

: Do your thoughts/deities/finances exist in paranormal realms? Do you track
the mirror stock market? Do financial markets operate by different economic
rules in mirror/parallel/alternate universes? Are y'r finances just fantasy?

# Addict deaths pinpointed in Britain. LONDON (AP) Scientists blame a highly
  toxic bacteria as the cause of a mysterious illness that's killed at least
  35 heroin addicts. Clostridium bacterium - not the next AIDS, just contam-

# A Possible Solution to Cell Phones Causing Hypothyroidism? From: XXXXXXXXX
  I'm using a device on my cellular phone which alters the radiation pattern
  on the phone and renders it harmless. I know it sounds strange, but I got
  it from my Dr. Marshall and I trust him. I also have devices on my regular
  phones, tv's, and computer monitors to do much the same thing with them.
  You can get information on it from his office if you call for it. The
  number is: 310-320-1132.  [ via www.topica.com/lists/ewar ]

# MAGNETS ATTRACT LEGAL JUDGMENT. Prosecutors in Napa and Sonoma Counties in
  No.California seem to be the only ones going after bogus health products.
  This time, it's magnet makers who're caught making unsubstantiated claims.
  http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=36051&src=n2

: Do magnets/bacteria/cellphones/reptoids/narcotics affect your health? Are
you searching for relief? Is death the greatest relief of all? Should we all
die so we won't hurt anymore? Is your conspiracy working to achieve that???

# The Code Cracks. "God does not play dice with the universe," Einstein fam-
  ously remarked. But he didn't rule out numerical puzzles. (WSJ) The Bible
  Code, a 1997 bestseller by Michael Drosnin,argued that hidden messages are
  embedded in bible texts. Similar books followed; a movie was even made on
  this theme ("The Omega Code"). The popular press, no doubt intimidated by
  the code's statistical complexity, wrote of it with cautious respect. To
  this day, there is the lingering impression that,no matter how far-fetched
  it seems, a code may be buried in the Bible for a computer to discover.
  This impression is badly misguided. Recent analysis has done a great deal
  to refute the whole idea. http://www.stats.org/statswork/biblecode.htm

# REPUBLICANS JOIN ANTI-HOLY SEE UN CAMPAIGN - conservatives conspiring
  against Vatican: http://www.ewtn.com/vnews/getstory.asp?number=4001
# Rwandan Court Acquits Roman Catholic Bishop Of Genocide - persecuted by
  politicos: http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2567366174-e56

: Do your deities play games, create numerical/cryptological puzzles, enjoy
watching you dangle? Do your politicos play games with your deities? Do your
legal/religious/scientific/mystical codes decode into anything recognizable?

# Collider creates no black hole. Physicists successfully achieved near-
  light-speed particle collisions at Brookhaven National Laboratory this
  week, after persistent fear and speculation in some circles that the
  experiment would launch a new "black hole" that would threaten Earth.

# Weaving dates back 27k years. Woven clothing was being produced on looms
  27,000 years ago, far earlier than had been thought. It had been thought
  that the first farmers developed weaving 5,000-10,000 years ago. Back to
