# IS THAT A MAGNET IN YOUR POCKET OR ... This might be the best-selling
magnet gimmick yet - a magnet to improve male sexual performance.
Another bogus health product pitched at America the gullible.
http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=17642
: Is your virility potentiated, recharged, polarized by magnetism? Would you
install an electromagnet in your crotch if it improved your sex life? Have
you done so already? Does it work? Do ferrous objects fly at you? Do you
find this sexually stimulating? What's your favorite erotic ferrous object?
@ What pathetic, sad victims men are. Colorful male behavior simply masks
hidden wounds. Nurse Faludi has you diagnosed, boys. Line up for your
shots ... http://www.nymag.com/critics/view.asp?id=2409

there anything to see? Would you rather have your genes remote-viewed? Would
your genescan make for interesting cinema? Are your genes entertaining? How?

dramatically cut diagnosis times for infections. Golden showers:

# BEEN STALKED LATELY? Studies show that 8% of women & 2% of men will be
stalked sometime in their lives. And stalkers are more intelligent than
other crooks, sez a shrink. http://azcentral.com/news/0928domestic.shtml
: Have you stalked anyone or been stalked lately? Does stalking take more
brains than embezzlement, assault, abduction, fraud, carjacking, perjury?
Who would you most like to stalk? Who would you prefer to stalk you? Why?
@ FOUNTAINHEAD. Fans included Clark Gable, Hillary Clinton, and Alan
Greenspan. But fans weren't enough for Ayn Rand. She longed for
intellectual respectability: http://linguafranca.com/9909/rand.html

# Star wobbles under tug of planet. (BBC) For the first time astronomers
have seen a star move in the sky under the influence of the gravity of
a planetary companion. More than just interpersonal relationships:

: Does your planet influence your star? Do your planets and stars influence
you? Do you influence your stars and planets? Do they require maintenance??

# Skinheads killed pal for his cannibalism chatter. Cops say the two neo-
Nazis bludgeoned Yohann Lee beyond recognition after he started talking
about necrophilia and cannibalism. "Apparently, the two men found his
comments disgusting," says the D.A. Thank goodness they never met Jeffrey
Dahmer. http://www.phillynews.com/daily_news/99/Sep/28/local/SKIN28.htm
: Do cannibals annoy you? Are you a cannibal? Are you annoying? Are you a
necrophiliac? Have you ever robbed a grave? Has your grave been robbed??
# Everything you know about the Littleton killings is wrong. Blacks and
Christians were not targeted. There was no Trench Coat Mafia. Nobody
died: http://www.salon.com/news/feature/1999/09/23/columbine/index.html

# Scientists unveil plastic plants. (BBC) Biotech giant Monsanto says it has
created genetically-modified plants that can grow biodegradable plastic.
The plastic produced in the plant factories is not only biodegradable, it
is also suitable for widespread commercial use. It is being produced in
special types of GM oilseed rape & cress. Better living thru chemistry:

"At the center of a black hole is a singularity. A singularity is an
absurdity. It is a point containing all the mass of the black hole.
A singularity has no volume, but the density of its matter is infinite.
The first atomic bomb was exploded in that area of Alamogordo Air Force
Base called *Jornade del Muerto* or The Death Tract, south of La Luz or
The Light, in the desert lands of New Mexico or New Place of the God of
War (Mexico < *Mexitli*, name of the Aztec war god Huitzilopochtli).
From there and then, 1945 or the Year One (from the traditional casting
out of nines, 1 + 9 + 4 + 5 = 19 = 1 + 9 = 1), singularity, terror, and
absurdity have been at the center of our lives." --Hillel Schwartz
