# Satan worshippers open Temple of Lucifer in Denmark. (Reuters) - A group
of Satan worshippers inaugurated what they called a Temple of Lucifer on
Saturday, saying it was the first of its kind in Denmark. "We believe in
something, in some power...he (Satan) is the symbol of nature. We don't
believe in the Satan mentioned in the Bible." Instead, the cult's roughly
20 members, mostly Danes but also a few Swedes, base their faith on a work
called the Satanic Bible, which says disciples are "dedicated to the
acceptance of Man's true nature -- that of a carnal beast, living in a
cosmos which is permeated and motivated by the Dark Force." Neighbors

# Cyber Saints. Here's a gift for the person who has everything: sainthood.
The strange genesis <http://www.laweekly.com/ink/00/08/cyber-ulin.shtml>
of Sainthood.Com <http://www.sainthood.com/> where users can enshrine
anyone as a saint. Those who like their saints Vatican-approved can see
the <http://goa.goarch.org/access/calendar/January/January_2000.html>
"Saint of the Day." And see http://ojr.usc.edu/content/spike.cfm
: Since I've already declared that all sentient entities in the universe are
deities [by the power vested in me by the State of California, the Universal
Life Church & The Church Of The Otters <http://tcodo.da.ru>], why would any-
one want to be a mere saint? Isn't godhood better than sainthood? Why not?

# Bioengineering Boosted Mouse Insulin. PITTSBURGH (Reuters) - GM mice who
produce extra insulin may help scientists learn to treat human diabetics
more effectively. Researchers said their mice produced enough insulin to
lower blood sugar, and similar genetic engineering might be able to help
people. http://news.excite.com/news/r/000115/00/science-health-diabetes
: Do you oppose animal research & genetic modification? Should diabetics be
left to die naturally, like your deities intended? Does science interfere
with the natural order of the universe? Can scientists' souls be saved? How?

# Deadly Crash Draws Attention to Secretive Group - Fraud Accusations Haunt
Irish Traveler Clan. The clan's origins are uncertain but scholars believe

the British Isles before the Celts and Anglo-Saxons moved in. They began
migrating to the United States more than 100 years ago. Keep names secret:

# What technological advances can you expect to see in 2025? (IDG) 25 years
from now, Americans will consider the changes that information technology
brought to govt in the 1990s as quaint. The technology that will be in use
in 2025 will be similar to systems portrayed in sci-fi dramas. But much of
it is already under development in research centers & IT shops throughout
govt: computers that think like humans, sensors woven into clothes that
assess a soldier's wounds and virtual networks that meld federal, state
and local agency services into what is a seemingly single entity. BigBro
