# Big Hopes Riding on Bigfoot Museum. Willow Creek, CA [AP] - Some people
believe in Bigfoot. Most don't. Some aren't sure what might be tramping
around California's backcountry. Margaret Wooden is skeptical, but she
knows one thing: Bigfoot could be good for business. "He's quite a drawing
card," said Wooden, who helped organize the Willow Creek-China Flat
Museum's new "Bigfoot Wing." http://www.farshore.force9.co.uk/bfoot04.htm
@ THE SAGE SEZ: You cannot assume that if ETs are visiting us, that all ETs
must have evil intentions. Clearly, if we assume 99% of all ETs visiting
us are pure evil, that would sabotage whatever hope we could have had of
making friends with the remaining 1% -- and we need all the friends we
can get in this universe! Be my friend: http://www.caus.org/mc062300.htm
: Are you paranoid/hopeful/exploitative/resigned about UFOs/yetis/ETs/me? Do
you hope for the best but plan for the worst? Have Bigfoots/ETs/agents ever
mistreated you? Have you ever mistreated them? Is there a cosmic balance??

# Reincarnated Python's Lottery Win. Kula Lumpur - Thousands of people have
been flocking to a tribal settlement in Malaysia's Sarawak state on Borneo
island, to consult a "python of fortune" which reportedly caused villagers
to win big in a recent lottery. Most of the visitors to the Iban longhouse
in Selangau district, near Sibu town, were lottery punters who offered
prayers, food, money as well as pieces of paper with numbers written on
them to the python. http://www.farshore.force9.co.uk/p_python.htm

# It all makes sense at Crank Dot Net. (UsaToday) Everything you know is
wrong. Earth is hollow, and flat, and routinely visited by beings not of
this world. It gets worse. The original Constitution banned lawyers from
holding office, at least one of our presidential candidates is in fact a
shape-shifting lizard, and one individual has gone so far as to declare
himself Emperor of America. http://www.farshore.force9.co.uk/n_crank.htm

CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are unwelcomed. Substance—not soap-boxing—please! These are
sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, mis-
directions 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, CTRLgives 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.
