# South Pacific Islands Disappear! Global warming is being blamed for the
disappearance of two South Pacific islands, and is wreaking havoc on two
others. The small uninhabited islands of Tebua Tarawa & Abanuea recently
sank under rising seas caused by the greenhouse effect. Officials now fear
the nearby islands of Kiribati & Tuvalu may also submerge, and have begun
to relocate coastal residents to other higher, safer islands in the area.
http://discovery.com/news/earthalert/990614/index/warming_index.html
: Which low-lying lands would you most like to submerge? Are aliens melting
Earth's icecaps or are we doing it ourselves? How long can you tread water?

@ CREATIVE REMOTE VIEWING. "The secret of the clairvoyant's power may
consist in the fact that he or she is able to effect a momentary form
of fusion or collaboration between the conscious mind and the secret
self." http://enchantedmind.com/remote/remote.htm
: Have you ever fused together your conscious mind and secret self? Did you
emerge? Do you remote-view? With or without psychedelic hallucinogens? How?

# Hieroglyphs: a language of Mayan nobles? Hieroglyphs carved on stone
temples and painted on pottery throughout Central America 1,500 years
ago may represent a formal, prestige language of the nobles.
http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/1,1249,100006729,00.html
: Are Mayan and Egyptian hieroglyphs related? Did ETs teach them to write?
Are all classic cultures alien-spawn? Are humans too dumb to invent culture?

# STEPHEN KING STRUCK BY CAR IN MAINE; IN SERIOUS CONDITION. Horror author
Stephen King was seriously injured when he struck by a van while walking
along a busy road in North Lovell, Maine, where he owns a home. A motorist
approaching from behind lost control of his Dodge Caravan because of a dog
that was running loose inside. King in serious condition but conscious -
see http://cnn.com/US/9906/19/stephen.king/index.html

# Contested patent may force U.S. to define 'human being'. WASHINGTON (AP) -
An application rejected by the US Patent and Trademark Office and destined
for the courts may force the US gov't to address a tough question: What is
a human being? Jeremy Rifkin, co-applicant for the patent and a well-known
biotech gadfly, said the PTO failed to say how many human cells or genes
there must be in a laboratory human-animal experiment for the hybrid to be
considered human. http://deseretnews.com/dn/view/1,1249,100007486,00.html
: Once a standard is set, how are contents to be nondestructively measured?
How much non-human [bacteria, mites, etc] DNA is already in your body? Are
you fully human? How can you tell? Would you rather be a chimera? What kind?

# Children in Soweto fall victim to witch doctors. THE discovery of a decap-
itated 11-year-old boy in Soweto has intensified fears that young South
African children are increasingly being targeted by crank witch doctors
who use human body parts for magical potions. What do non-cranks use?
http://telegraph.co.uk/et?ac=000216397642768&pg=/et/99/6/20/wsaf20.html
: What human body parts do you most like to utilize in your rituals? Do the
voices in your head direct your dissections? Do you eat the leftovers? How?
