# Mummy Skulls Seized. LIMA (Reuters) Peruvian cops seized 4 well-preserved
pre-Incan mummy skulls, bones and artifacts that smugglers hoped to ship to
Miami. The skulls, still with some dark skin, red-brown hair and teeth, have
survived because Paracas and Chiribaya cultures, which ruled much of Peru's
southern coast up to 3,800 years ago, mummified their dead in a ritual to
protect their souls. http://news.excite.com/news/r/990528/16/odd-mummies
: Would you like a mummy skull? What would you do with it? Does your belief
system promote mummification? Are your beliefs mummified? Is your soul safe?

# IT'S OFFICIAL: Being Male In Today's Society Can Make You Sick -- Men's
health, sanity are being put at risk by job insecurity and uncertainty about
the male role within the family. http://sightings.com/health2/mansick.htm
# Crackdown On Sale Of Breast Enlarging Herb. BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai cops
cracked down on growing commercial sales of a native wonder herb which helps
enlarge women's breasts, cures impotent men. The popularity of Kwao Kruea
has soared since last year after a local herbalist publicized its exotic
properties. Thai transvestites consume it widely to enlarge their breasts
and impotent men, who cannot afford the expensive Viagra cure, do likewise
to boost their libidos. http://news.excite.com/news/r/990602/12/odd-breasts
: Are you sickened more by society, family, herbs, sex, aliens, official
reports, transvestites, medical experiments, TV, TB, TM, TT, TNT, HTTP, me?

# Scientists Find Evidence For A Sixth Sense In Humans. Ancestors of humans
may have communicated by a sixth sense, by detecting chemical signals given
off by each other. They received these signals through a specialized organ
in the nose, vestiges of which still exist. Some researchers think the organ
still functions and influences our behavior; others believe it is extinct.

# Biological computer born. A computer made of neurons taken from leeches
has been created by US scientists. At the moment, the device can perform
simple sums - the team calls the novel calculator the "leech-ulator". But
their aim is to devise a new generation of fast and flexible computers that
can work out for themselves how to solve a problem, rather than having to be
told exactly what to do. "They will not get up and attack anyone" That's a
relief: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_358000/358822.stm

computer may be smarter than you? Would you rather use grasshopper neurons?

# Two Huge Planets Drifting Alone In Space Found. CHICAGO - Astronomers have
discovered two overgrown planets drifting alone in empty space - the first
such objects ever found. More massive than Jupiter but too small to burn
like our sun, the planetlike orbs represent a new type of extremely faint
space object that scientists say may be as common as the stars in our
galactic neighborhood. Space litter: http://sightings.com/ufo3/drift.htm
: Would you adopt an orphan planet? Are these 'brown dwarfs'? Do they need
hormone therapy? Can they be moved to our orbit for more lebensraum? When?
