: Would you like to inhabit a meteor? Which one? Are meteors good tools for
spreading life around the universe? Do ETs ride meteors? Are they efficient?

# Magnet theory to life on Mars. (BBC) Scientists reveal what may be the
best evidence yet for past life in a rock from Mars - tiny magnetic grains.

# Also: Life on Mars - new claims:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_289000/289214.stm
: Is life an alien plot, a holy mystery, inevitable, a miracle, a bother?
Did life come to Earth from Mars, or vice versa, or somewhere else, or not?

# Colossal solar storms which can destroy communication satellites and knock
out power grids on Earth may be predictable. (BBC) Scientists have found
that unusual S-shaped [sigmoid] patterns on the sun are frequently followed
by eruptions a few days later. If early warning of the eruptions can be
given, protective measures could be put in place on satellites and on Earth.

: Does this mean that all those old sci-fi stories about solar storms are
obsolete, as dead as tales of jungles on Venus and canal-cultures on Mars?
Can ETs make the Sun go nova? Can the CIA? Can we predict a nova? How?

# Spacecraft Begins Mapping of Mars. LOS ANGELES (AP) - The Mars Global
Surveyor has finally begun mapping the red planet, turning an array of
instruments on Earth's dusty neighbor a year later than originally planned.

# Also: "Face on Mars" Activist Richard Hoagland Suffers Heart Attack:
http://www.enterprisemission.com/medstats.html
: Has the convenient MGS delay allowed all the incriminating artifacts to be
removed? Is Hoagland's anomalous coronary condition linked to the cover-up?
Who is orchestrating all this? Are all planetary missions manipulated? Why?

# Cranking Up the Windup Computer. The South African company behind the
windup radio will bring a new human-powered generator to laptop computers.

# Physicists Tie the Knot. Cambridge University physicists use mathematical
models to map the four most common necktie knots -- and come up with six
new ones. http://www.wired.com/news/news/culture/story/18270.html
: Should all portable electronics be wind-up? Would you use a wind-up UFO
detector? If a wind-up computer tied your mathematical tie with a program
glitch, would you strangle? Do good mathematicians wear ties? Do aliens?

WHAT'S NEW Robert L. Park Friday, 5 Mar 99 Washington, DC
3. FREE ENERGY: STATE DEPARTMENT OPENS ITS DOORS TO NEW AGERS. Something
called the Integrity Research Institute has announced the First Internatio-
nal Conference on Free Energy (CoFE), April 29-30. IRI markets books and
videos with such titles as The Race to Zero Point Energy, Anti-Gravity: The
Dream Made Reality, and Holistic Physics and Consciousness. It is headed by
a US Patent Examiner named Tom Valone, who has been recruiting other open-
minded people to become Patent Examiners (WN 20 Nov 98). The speakers list
for CoFE is certainly open minded; topics include: assisted nuclear reac-
tions (a.k.a. cold fusion), sonoluminesence (a.k.a. cold fusion), hydrogen
technologies (a.k.a. cold fusion), tabletop nuclear transformations (a.k.a.
cold fusion), as well as zero point energy generation, negative resistance
and... well, you get the idea. Where would you hold such a uh, um open-min-
ded conference? The notice says CoFE will be "under the auspices of the
U.S. State Department in the Dean Acheson Auditorium." Like, duh...
: Is free energy for humans doomed? Why do only Reptilioids and Grays get
free energy? Do you have anti-gravity or cold fusion working yet? Why not?

"Once a month, when the moon is full, Reverend Jim Bleaker and his lovely
wife, Teddi, invite members of the church to the parsonage for an evening
of hymn singing, followed by cookies, tea, and a frenzied orgy on the lawn
outside, making sure, of course, to take all the usual precautions for safe
sects." -- Brian W. Holmes
