# HARRY GRIFFIN: "THIS IS HOW I WILL CLONE A HUMAN" - Catholic Experts Label
Experiment "Intrinsically Illicit" - clones deny illegitimacy, demand full
respect & recognition: http://www.ewtn.com/vnews/getstory.asp?number=48804
# When Andrew Sullivan injects testosterone he feels a deep surge of energy:
"My wit is quicker, my mind faster, but my judgment is more impulsive."
http://www.nytimes.com/library/magazine/home/20000402mag-testosterone.html
# AILING 'SLOTH GIRL' LIVES LIFE IN SLOW MOTION! NEWARK, N. J. -- Brave 7-
year-old Martha Cibron suffers from a rare and horrible disorder. Her
metabolism is so slow that she eats only about 13 ounces of food a week
and must consume seven gallons of coffee and other stimulants every day
just to stay awake! http://www.weeklyworldnews.com/stories/1443.html
: Have you experimented on yourself/others/me lately? Have you made anyone
faster/slower/smarter/dumber/holier/damned? Would you rather live slow/long
like a redwood; or fast/quick like a shrew; or in-between like a good clone?

@ THE ORIGIN OF WRITING. Introduction: My rediscovery of the world's oldest
form of writing. The Origin of Writing: How writing began. North America's
First People: Enter into a continent filled with residual species of dino-
saurs. Non-Metrical Image Writing: How this form of writing works. A Photo
Offer: Ancient reptile who's remains have been mistaken for "grey aliens."
A Warning: DO NOT lift these static images and attempt to "animate" them
through video. Imparting the dynamics of the screen to such refined visual
elements COULD TRIGGER EPILEPTIC SEIZURES in viewers susceptible to such
attacks. If you want to try animating these images, USE A GRADUAL, SLOW,
TRANSITIONAL FLOW mediated by a neutral gray background density. MAINTAIN
THE CONTEXT OF THESE IMAGES. Shift THROUGH a neutral background, NOT dir-
ectly between image elements. Easy... http://www.tripleoak.on.ca/mindseye/
: Does your writing cause seizures, nausea, disability, death? Do you hang
around with reptiles, gray aliens, UFOlogists? Do their writings cause ill-
ness? Have you discovered any ancient/alien writings lately? Have you deci-
phered these writings? Say what? [via [EMAIL PROTECTED] - thanks, Al!]

# Campfire Casts Doubt on First Americans. Campfire remains found under a
Virginia sand dune could be the proof that humans inhabited the Americas
as early as 17,000 years ago, fueling the friction over where the first
Americans came from and when: http://www.newshub.com/cgibin/rd.cgi?9631226
# Did sharing evolve from group hunting? The idea that co-operation during
hunting led to the evolution of human social/moral behaviour has received
a boost. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_702000/702754.stm
@ BREAKING NEWS OF THE ANCIENT WORLD: http://julen.net/ancient/breaking.html
# Sandstorm Eats Army. News in 2500 Years. They think they found the remains
of a 50000-man Persian Army swallowed by a sandstorm in 524 BC whilst eat-
ing lunch. www.discovery.com/news/briefs/20000327/history_persianarmy.html
: Have you discovered any ancient/medium/recent humans lately? Did you find
anything new about human evolution/behaviour/volition? Can we learn anything
more about humans? Should we move on to investigating other species? Which?

# TRINITY IS NOT A "THEOREM" BUT REALITY. VATICAN CITY (ZENIT) The mystery
of the Holy Trinity is not something distant, or a "heavenly arithmetic
theorem," but a reality that is part of our daily life, John Paul II told
an exceptionally large Jubilee crowd. Three gods in one - the Pope affirms
Catholic polytheism: http://www.ewtn.com/vnews/getstory.asp?number=48790
# Okla.Lawmakers Pass Creationism Bill; if they eat more beans, they'll pass
another soon. OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) -- Science books used in Oklahoma public
schools would be required to acknowledge "that human life was created by
one God of the universe." No consensus as to just which deity that might
be: http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2565460118-c87
# Free Help For Boozers: http://www.newshub.com/cgibin/rd.cgi?9635174
: Who are your favorite deities? Do they come in clusters of 2, 3, 4, more?
Did they do a good job of creating the universe, humanity, reality? Were you
created by one or more competent deities? Why do you have tonsils, appendix?

# NASA Disinformation On Full Throttle. (ECTV) What NASA appears to tell us
is there is absolutely nothing going on with the sun that should concern
you. Relax. http://www.earthchangestv.com/breaking/April2000/0406nasa.htm
# CURRENT SOLAR DATA: M-CLASS FLARE. QUIET. http://www.maj.com/sun/noaa.html
# Solar Terrestrial Activity Report. The geomagnetic field is expected to be
quiet to unsettled on April 6 with a chance of isolated active intervals.
A CME will likely impact Earth sometime on April 7 or early on April 8 and
cause unsettled to major storm conditions. http://www.dxlc.com/solar/
# Sunspot Count Over 300. (ECTV) Sunspot count has now risen above 300.
Expect a series of M-Class and X-Class flares to follow. Within 48 hours
of solar flare events, watch for extreme weather around the world. We're
doomed: http://www.earthchangestv.com/breaking/April2000/0403sunspot.htm
: Have any major solar flares licked at your planet lately? Has the surface
been seared, wiped clean of lifeform infections, sterilized in preparation
for the next inhabitants? Who deserves to occupy the surface of your planet?

# ORGANIZERS REVEAL TRUE REASON FOR ANTI-VATICAN CAMPAIGN. FRONT ROYAL, VA.
"The true motivation for the campaign to remove the Vatican from the Uni-
ted Nations stems from anti-Catholic attitudes and pro-abortion intoler-
ance." Some noises about the Vatican not being a traditional nation-state,
sure, but so what? http://www.ewtn.com/vnews/getstory.asp?number=48750
# Consul of Imaginary Principality Arrested. MADRID, Spain (Reuters) - A man
acting as consul of an imaginary principality off Britain was arrested in
Madrid on suspicion of selling fake passports to international criminals,
the Civil Guard said. http://news.excite.com/news/r/000405/12/odd-arrest
# It's Good to Be King. There's no need to be disenfranchised. Just start
your own nation. http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/8.03/kingdoms.html
: Do you run your own nation? Did one or more deities/dictators/demagogues
give it to you; or did you rip it from the primordial chaos with your own
raw fingers; or did it just happen? Is it still a work-in-progress? Is it
represented in the UN? Should we all have nations, UN seats, armies, taxes?
