ternet. http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_274000/274945.stm

# Lawsuit says surgeon made man a eunuch. PONTIAC, Mich. (UPI) A suburban
Detroit man who went to the hospital for exploratory surgery says the pro-
cedure made him a eunuch and now he's suing the doctor. But the defendant,
urologist Dr. Joel Kriegel, says he only removed the man's right testicle
because it was damaged. http://nt.excite.com/news/u/990210/11/health-eunuch
: Is this evidence of the plot to harvest testicles for the unknowable pur-
poses of the Reptilioids? What do you think the ETs do with them? How bad?

# Inside Yucca Mountain: Life-or-death safety issues simmering. NEVADA TEST
SITE - A tunnel punched through a flank of Nevada's Yucca Mountain may soon
become the portal to one of humanity's most enduring monuments. America's
proposed final resting place for nuclear fuel, it would have to function
longer than governments have stood, longer than languages have been spoken,
longer than glaciers have taken to recede. How long can you tread water?
See http://www.sacbee.com/news/news/local01_19990207.html
: Is Nevada expendable? Is Earth? Are there better things we could be doing
with radioactive wastes? Can we make money at it? Would it be hot money?

# Arizona Man Selling 'UFO Debris' for $69,000. TUCSON (AP) One might not
notice a potato-sized gray and green rock if it weren't for its $69,000
price tag. But Ron Ruiz, owner of the Oro Valley-based Stone People
Products, says there is good reason for the price. He claims the item is
the remains of a liquid-hulled alien spaceship that crashed in St. Joseph,
Mo., in 1947. http://www.abqjournal.com/scitech/1sci02-09.htm
: How much would you pay for a UFO? Do liquids make good hulls? What do
stone people have to do with alien spacecrafts? Are they stone or stoned?

# Chemical Plants Under Wraps. Claiming terrorists could "obtain all this
potentially dangerous information," the chairman of the US House Commerce
committee said he wants to make it unlawful to publish reports about
chem-ical-plant safety on the Internet. "I don't think that we can go too
far to prevent terrorism," said Tom Bliley, a Virginia Republican. What we
don't know... http://www.wired.com/news/news/politics/story/17841.html
: Why else would chem.plant info be kept secret? How many chem.plants will
detonate on 1/1/00? Will this be spontaneous are are Reptilioids behind it?

*** Priest in Guatemala denied bail. GUATEMALA CITY (AP) A Guatemalan judge
denied bail to a Catholic priest accused of killing an activist bishop. The
bail request for Mario Orantes Najera was made by prosecutors in the case,
and was widely viewed as an attempt to quell criticism they were focusing
too much on the priest rather than on political enemies of the slain human
rights crusader, Bishop Juan Gerardi. Gerardi was bludgeoned to death in the
garage of his church residence two days after publishing a report blaming
the military for most of the deaths in Guatemala's 36-year civil war. See

: Would you kill activist dissidents in your religious/political/economic
system? Would you only do so if ordered to? By who? Is it a divine task?
