# Synesthesia - A Magical Melding Of The Senses. NEW YORK - The letter "A"
is a pale shade of yellow. Hearing a French horn smells like cinnamon. And
eating a hamburger feels like somebody's jabbing your big toe. People with
a somewhat magical condition called synesthesia do not experience reality
in the same way as most of us; the rigid wall between the five senses is
lowered, or demolished completely. By virtue of a uniquely wired brain,
they are able to feel smells, hear tastes and see music, among other
combinations. http://foxnews.com/health/011700/synesthesia.sml
: Do you experience the world in a unique manner? Is your brain wired oddly?
Is this caused by evolution, ET implants, divine touch, drugs, mind-control
rays, interdimensional warps/rifts, magic, parasites? Are you empowered??
@ Alex Chiu's <http://www.alexchiu.com/> Eternal Life device is "the most
important invention in human history." And it's yours for a low low price
<http://www.alexchiu.com/eternallife/alexchiu.htm> of $16.50!
@ Henry Flynt <http://www.butterfly.net/henryflynt/> may not be insane, but
his writings could drive YOU insane. Arm yourself with his refutations of
language, mathematics, and personhood and win any argument, instantly!

# Mystery Iceballs Claim First Victim in Spain. MADRID (Reuters) An elderly
Spanish woman has claimed she was hit by a falling iceball, apparently the
first victim of a phenomenon that has been puzzling scientists for days.
Attacked: http://news.excite.com/news/r/000120/10/science-spain-iceballs
@ SAUCER ATTACKED ME, PILOT DECLARES. Within minutes after his hair-raising
experience, I talked to a veteran Air Force pilot who excitedly reported
that his F-51 fighter plane was attacked repeatedly by a flying saucer.
The incident, never before revealed to the public, occurred at 8000 feet
over Augusta, Ga., on a warm, sunny, clear day. The pilot's own startling
story is in the files in Washington. http://www.caus.org/mu012000.htm
: Have you ever been attacked by a flying saucer? Have you ever attacked a
flying saucer? Is vengeance mandatory? Are attacks justified? Should media
cover the attacks, the reprisals, or does this only promote more violence?

# Is An Asteroid About To Land On Our Head? So far, major earth impacts have
occurred only in the most sparsely populated parts of the globe. This may
account for our underestimation of their frequency, sez British astronomer
Dr Mark Bailey. Last century's South American impacts, coupled with the
Tunguska event, mean largescale extraterrestrial invaders could be up to
10 times more common than previously thought. "The earth may be subject to
three or four such events a century," warns Bailey. Despite the relatively
small probability of catastrophic earth impact, the issue is important
enough to warrant near-earth object monitoring by astronomical observa-
tories worldwide. http://www.suntimes.co.za:80/2000/01/16/insight/in10.htm
: Do astronomical objects pick on you? Are you tired of taking this abuse?
Have you formed a vigilante group? Are you ready to strike back? At what??

# Columbine moviemakers busted on gun charges. The amateur filmmakers prod-
uced "Duck: The Carbine Massacre," which showed the two auteurs walking on
school property with shotguns. A Denver TV station ordered the movie and
called cops after seeing the weapons. The station says the suspects have
made other violent movies and are members of an underground group that
trades blood-and-gore films. http://denverpost.com/news/shot0120.htm
# Bailed out: http://www.bergenrecord.com/news/ringwoodj200001205.htm
: Have you made any documentary films about school violence? Do you re-enact
the violence? Do you use many weapons? What govt agencies are involved? Are
you training students for more violence? Is this a form of mind-control? Eh?

@ Harry Potter's girl trouble. The world of the kid-wizard is a place where
boys come first. http://www.salon.com/books/feature/2000/01/13/potter/
: Do you prefer to discriminate on religious, ethnic, or gender differences?
Does your belief system distinguish between more/less valuable humans? Does
your life/thought/work have any value? Will anyone miss you when you go??
# US asked to withdraw soldiers. KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) Suspected terrorist
Osama bin Laden will end his "hostility" toward the US if Washington with-

# Avalanche Victims Found 4X Faster With Robotic "Swarm" Search Technique.
Computationally, finding a snow-buried skier is remarkably similar to loc-
ating the point source of a chemical or biological attack. A new computer
program guiding a swarm of mini-robots to rapidly pin-point a source of
contagion can also be used by a group of humans carrying minicomputers,
GPS receivers, and simple radio equipment to find a skier buried in
whiteness. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/01/000120072622.htm

found - can you hide? What intrusive technology encourages/scares you most?
