# Mars mound might have been built by microbes. (NewScientist) If life ever
existed on Mars, it may have left behind a massive calling card in the
shape of a white rock mound covering over 200 sq.km. According to resear-
chers, the mound looks very like those built by bacteria over 3 bln years
ago here on Earth. http://explorezone.com/archives/99_09/02_ns_mars.htm

Earth and Mars (and maybe other planet[oid]s) infected by interstellar ETs?

but it's not our main task." The emphasis of the Ondrejov Observatory of

crucial in determining whether the asteroids pose a danger to Earth.

cometary fragments, human space litter, The Mothership? How can you tell??

Who survived, prevailed? Whose electro/info systems will you attack next??

@ OUIJA BOARD. "The contacts occurred in 1968 at my parent's house where two
of my old school friends would visit once or twice a week. We had been us-
ing the Ouija board... with some success. I have no idea how it works, but
we did get some interesting results": http://caus.org/pc090299.htm
: Have you contacted any living/dead/undead entities from the past/present/
future or any dimensional space via ouija board? Do they talk funny? How??

# BIRDS BRAINED. Migrating songbirds are being killed at the rate of about 4
mln each year in the U.S., not by hunters or predators, but by radio tran-
smission towers. The birds, tending to fly after sunset, are lured by fla-
shing beacons atop the towers, which transmit TV/radio/cellphone signals.
Scientists have counted more than 42,000 dead birds at one Florida tower
alone: http://www.wired.com/news/news/explode-infobeat/story/21554.html

in your head insist? Do electronically-confused birds create crop circles??
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

and pollution mean the world's seas are becoming increasingly unhealthy.

Writers, a group protesting against growing consumerism in Russia. Boom:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/europe/newsid_436000/436129.stm
: Does TV, marketing, materialism, consumerism, provoke you to blow things &
people up? Where did you buy your bomb materials? Were they on sale? Did you
get a good deal? Do you comparison-shop for explosives? Get'em on the Net??

"The liberty of man consists solely in this: that he obeys natural laws
because he has himself recognized them as such, & not because they have
been externally imposed upon him by any extrinsic will whatever, divine
or human, collective or individual. --Mikhail Bakunin, "God & the State"
