# CHINA BANS FALUN GONG SECT AFTER PROTESTS. China banned a popular medita-
tion sect after 3 days of public protest by the group. The ban, announced
by state media, accused the Falun Gong sect of spreading "superstitious,
evil thinking" to undermine social stability. Protests reported in more
than 30 cities: http://cnn.com/WORLD/asiapcf/9907/22/china.protest.01.ap/
: Will Falun Gong overthrow Communism? Will your sect overthrow a gov't? Is
meditation evil, superstitious, relaxing, subversive? Can you ever go Om??

# Scientists crack cocaine craving. (BBC) Scientists have developed a new
compound that may be able to reduce drug craving. Addicted to cures -

: Is nonaddictive cocaine useless? What's the fun then? Can new coke analogs
evade 'cures'? Would you rather have coke or direct brain stimulation? Why?

@ WALTER BOWART ON MIND CONTROL. New areas of research flooding in all the
time, called "cordless mind control", some kind of broadcasting technology
that puts a human voice in teams, twenty-four hours a day, inside of a
person's mind. Freedom of Thought Foundation is building a network, we're
working with scientists to try to come up with ways to discern people that
are paranoid-schizophrenics. Because traditionally, if you had a voice
inside your head you're diagnosed as paranoid-schizophrenic. And that was
it. But we found a lot of these people that are hearing these voices are
not paranoid-schizophrenic and function otherwise normally. They just hear
these voices. http://redshift.com/~damason/lhreport/articles/bowart.html
: Who controls the voices in your head? Are you controlled, possessed, nutz?
Do the voices in your head help/make you function normally? Do they sing???

$ THE NEURO-TECHNOLOGY REVOLUTION - Mind Machines Doing Many Things - Self-
Induced One-ness or Euphoria or Behavior Modification. Want computers to
help you reach your goals, prod you to make long-overdue behavior changes,
and let you relax or be more creative? Significant advances in understan-
ding the human brain have been achieved in the last twenty years. A simple
overview of brain wave states and neuro-technology is important, so you
can choose which revolutionary state-of-the-art process or technology is
right for you. http://www.sightings.com/politics4/neuro.htm
: Would you like to have computers mucking around inside your head? Do they
do so already? Do you control the process? Is this just another one of the
damn voices in your head? Do you get much cross-talk? Do they argue a lot?

# Boys like it hot. (BBC) Baby boys are more likely to be conceived after a
hot spell while a cold snap favours girls, says a German scientist.

# BRA WARS: An Expanding Market. (BBC) A bra war has broken out in the world
of women's underwear as firms struggle to come up with new ways to create
a cleavage. "We can have an air-filled bra that has a tiny little pump on
the side so that you can be bigger, you can be smaller - depends on your
mood." http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/uk/newsid_400000/400722.stm
: Are boys more likely to be conceived if you wear an air-heated bra? Is the
link between human males & hot air obvious? Is your bra a flotation device?

"The moment he laid eyes on the lifeless body of the nude socialite sprawled
across the bathroom floor, Detective Leary knew she had committed suicide by
grasping the cap on the tamper-proof bottle, pushing down and twisting while
she kept her thumb firmly pressed against the spot the arrow pointed to,
until she hit the exact spot where the tab clicks into place, allowing her
to remove the cap and swallow the entire contents of the bottle, thus ending
her life." --Artie Kalemeris ** http://www.bulwer-lytton.com/lyttony.htm **
