# How to Read Genetic Tea Leaves. (ABC) Scientists know a lot about genes,
but do they know to enough to justify the wild predictions some are making
changes in the practice of medicine? Prognosticating for fun and profit -
see http://abcnews.go.com/sections/living/SecondOpinion/secondopinion.html
: What changes do you expect in medicine? What changes do you fear? Why? -R
@ ORBIT: The Pyramids of Elysium, Mars. Behold the ancient Martian island,
Elysium, perhaps the true Atlantis. Carl Sagan, in his very popular (1980)
TV series, "Cosmos," showed pictures of "The pyramids of Elysium" taken
by the Mariner 9 mapping of Mars in 1972. "But they warrant, I think, a
careful look." [Sagan] See http://members.aol.com/phikent/orbit/orbit.html
: Was Atlantis Martian? Were Lemuria, Mu, K'Dath all Martian? Are you? -Ric
# Sex Slavery Museum in South Korea. KWANGJU COUNTY (AP) ... a new museum
about Japanese military brothels, where hundreds of thousands of women,
mostly Koreans, were forced into sexual slavery during World War II. The
room, reproduced at the Historical Museum of Japanese Military Sexual
Slavery to look like those in Japanese military brothels, seems like a
prison cell with a rough, wooden floor and a small, broken window. See
search.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WAPO/19990120/V000297-012099-idx.html
: Should all military, penal and commercial brothels be memorialized? -Ric
# Abortion Around the World. (ABC) Millions of women around the world term-
inate pregnancies each year, with half of all unplanned pregnancies ending

: Who needs increased pregnancy? Should breeders be licensed? By who? -Ric
# Abortion Rights Receding. (ABC) While US courts uphold the legality of
abortion, state legislatures slowly but surely chipp away at reproductive
rights. abcnews.go.com/sections/living/DailyNews/naralreport990114.html
: Do Reptilioids want us to overbreed so they can have plenty of food? -Ric
# OLD MERCK MANUAL: TOBACCO TREATMENT FOR NYMPHOMANIA & OTHER STORIES. The
100th anniversary of the Merck Manual is coming up, and in honor of it the
publisher sent out copies of the 1899 edition. Many of the entries remain
the same today,but some of them show us how far we've come, e.g. treating
nymphomania. www.healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=8764
: Should nymphomania be treated? Does electroshock work better than tobacco?
# REVENGE, MICRONESIAN STYLE: BITING NOSES TO SPITE SEXUAL APPEAL. The point
of biting off the nose of an adulterous wife or husband is to destroy the
individual's sexual attractiveness. Some cultures still practice it, but we

: Are Chupacabras worth anything to you? Why? Do they taste like chicken? -R
# AREN'T LIE DETECTOR TESTS PASSE? They're worthless because certain psycho-
paths can beat them, and so, in fact, can anyone who has taken meditation or
yoga lessons and has learned to control their heartbeat. In terms of fair-
ness and accuracy about drug use, a lie detector test is much better than a
urine test. www.healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=8773
: Should we all be implanted with truth monitors to keep us honest? How? -R
# DRUG TESTING: THE HALF-LIFE OF MARIJUANA. How long does it takes for mari-
juana to leave your system and not show up on a drug test? Anywhere from 5
to 27 days, depending on how frequently you use it. So you could go away on
your honeymoon, smoke a joint, come back to work, take a drug test, and get
fired. Fair? www.healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=8665
: Is the "war on drugs" a Reptilioid plot to stop us from evolving further?
# STIMULATE A NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE? You can reproduce a 'near-death
experience' with a lack of oxygen. Or you can go all the way over. See
http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=8769
: Are NDEs [Near-Death Experiences], OOBs [Out-Of-Body experiences], and all
other 'mystic' states due to imbalances of body chemistry? Are they fun? -R

Finnish academic known for recording Elvis Presley songs in Latin plans a

Habes - see http://nt.excite.com/news/r/990121/11/odd-elvis
: Is this dangerous? Could this recording arouse ancient Sumerian gods? Will
Earth be destroyed, or just all life, or just all humans? Do you care? -Ric

taken to roosting on the 17-story Sam M. Gibbons U.S. Courthouse in Tampa,
fouling it with their droppings and rotten leftovers. Birds of a feather -
fly to http://nt.excite.com/news/r/990121/11/odd-buzzards
: What the difference between a lawyer and a buzzard? Would you want one
to live next door? Would you want one to marry your sister? Why not? --Ric
