# DEVIL OF A PROBLEM. OLAG Kravitzy, 42, is shunned in the streets because
he has grown horns and looks like the devil. He's had regular operations
to trim off the 7cm horns after he started sprouting them seven years ago
in Ulan-Ude, Russia. A surgeon said: "The horns are similar to a bullock's
and emerge from each temple on his head." "It's a genetic throwback that
has been triggered by pollution." Olag said: "They think I am Satan."
Burn the demon: http://www.ic24.net/mgn/THE_MIRROR/NEWS/P11S4.html
: Would you like to grow horns? Have you ever grown horns? Do they give you
a distinctive appearance? Are you strangely attractive to certain people??

@ In case you were worried that this whole computing thing wasn't, well,
macho enough, ManlyWeb <http://www.manlyweb.com/> comes to the rescue.
Their idea of masculinity seems to center around concepts such as reviews
of power drills <http://www.manlyweb.com/archives/1999/Dec.html#drills>,
car shows <http://www.manlyweb.com/archives/2000/Jan.html#naias> and
(token new age bit!) <www.manlyweb.com/archives/1999/Sep.html#soy%20beer>
soy beer. And see http://www.memepool.com/Subject/Media/
: Are you a manly-man, a girly-man, a girly-girl, a manly-girl, a doggy-man,
a kitty-girl, a snakey-alien, a piggy-boy, a biker-babe, a rusty-robot, me?
Does soy bear short-out your alien implants? Is gender a marketing issue??

# Elian being taught to oppose abortion and gays. His Xian school uses the
"Citizens Training Handbook," subtitled, "Discipline, Moral, Civism, Urb-
anity." Included: "Elian learns that, when he is an adult, he can miss a
dinner party but never a funeral. He can send flowers to women but never
to men. He can serve cocktails at his parties and should serve wine with
dinner." http://www.herald.com/content/tue/news/dade/digdocs/057539.htm
: Do you like to impose your belief systems on captive audiences? Have you
brainwashed anyone lately? Has anyone brainwashed you lately? Has your thin-
king become more/less flxible, mechanistic, dogmatic? Are you a replacement?
@ ANDROIDS. Do androids exist? Are they mainstreamed in society? Are there
androids attending school, playing along with ordinary kids? Suspect the
android infiltration. Following the millennium rollover, have you noticed
decidedly glitchy behavior on the part of certain associates/colleagues?

# Orthodox and Anglicans join pope. ROME (AP) - The spiritual leader of the
Anglican church and a representative of the Orthodox patriarch in Istanbul
helped Pope John Paul II open a symbolic door in a ceremony that figured
high in the pontiff's cherished dream of healing divisions among Xians.
The Orthodox have accused the Vatican of aggressively trying to win souls
in the former Communist countries. Disputes over church property that had
been seized by the Communists also have hurt Orthodox-Catholic relations.

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