# Old & new messages for E.T. - 25 years after Arecibo signal, entrepreneurs
get on the beam. (MSNBC) It�s been 25 years since humanity first sent a
signal intended for civilizations on other planets. In that time, the mes-
sage has traveled only a thousandth of the way toward its intended target,
but other efforts are afoot to transmit signals � and this time they�re
toll calls. Dialing for dollars: http://www.caus.org/pn112699.htm
: Can/will/do you make money sending signals to ETs? Do ETs pay well? Do
they use 1-900 numbers a lot? Do you? Do you have sex chats with ETs? How?

Would you rather attack Reptilioids, or are they your friends? Do they tell
you who to attack? Did Reptilioids plant religions in our brains so we'd be
easier to control & harvest? Have Reptilioids harvested your town lately??

@ Ruth Montgomery's Remarkable 1979 Earth Changes Prophecies. Her guides
told her to look for an absolutely unavoidable shift in the earth's axis
& crust around the beginning of the next century. The shift will have its
warnings. The revolutions of the earth will be slowed in the last years of
this century. The weather will be worsening in most areas. The storms will
grow increasingly violent, with heavy snowfalls, strong gales & increased
humidity. There will be rumblings beneath the earth & the trees will sway.
Shortly before the actual shift, there'll be 2 specific types of warnings.
The eruptions of ancient volcanoes in Mediterranean islands, South America
& California will result in pestilence; shortly thereafter, earth tremors
of major proportions, affecting wide land-masses in northern Europe, Asia,
and South America, will provoke tidal waves of monumental scope. And the
politicians will lie: http://www.sightings.com/politics5/pred.htm
: Have you predicted any earth changes lately? Did/will/can they happen? Do
you have a track record? Did you ever predict The End Of The World before?
Were you right? Are your doomsday predictions often right? Are you sure??

# China detains foreigners. SHANGHAI (AP) Cops busted an American, a Swedish
student & two Australians in south China at a gathering of the banned sect
Falun Gong. Thousands of Falun Gong practitioners have been jailed since
the communist government banned the multimillion-member meditation group
in July, fearing it as a threat to government power. Meditate elsewhere:

: When will China start assassinating FalunGongers around the world? Have
they already started? Will they start on other believers next? Should China
be destroyed before it decimates meditators worldwide? Should they continue?

# GALILEO SURVIVES 'WHITE KNUCKLE' IO FLYBY. NASA's sturdy Galileo space-
craft completed its closest encounter with Jupiter's fiery moon Io, but
only after what officials called "a Thanksgiving white knuckler" for
earthbound controllers. The craft dipped through intense radiation
bombardment: http://cnn.com//TECH/space/9911/26/galileo.02/index.html
# Spacecraft Galileo overcomes setback - most of mission salvaged:

# By Jupiter! Confusion over planet. (BBC) A new analysis of data collected
by the Galileo spacecraft's atmospheric probe has thrown into confusion
the accepted ideas of how our Solar System was formed. Gas giant Jupiter
has 2 to 3 times more of the heavy gases argon, krypton & xenon than would
be expected had it formed solely from gas left over after our Sun's birth.
It has also 3 times more nitrogen than expected under prevailing models
of how our Solar System was created. http://www.caus.org/pn112599.htm

# Digging for Water in Space. (Wired) An Australian scientist creates a
mineral cocktail in an effort to mimic the asphalt-like ice believed to
lie at the core of comets. Pepsi will introduce COMET SODA next year.

# Learning brain cells identified. (AP) - Neurons flashing signals about the
brain undergo a dramatic change as the mind learns new habits of behavior.
Brain scientists using rats taught to run a maze found that as the rats
learned, there was a change in firing patterns of certain neurons in the
brain. This new pattern may mark the way habits are acquired. "One small
step toward figuring out what the brain does when we develop a habit" -

# AT AGE 45 BRAIN SAYS: HARD DISK FULL. Ever wondered if your brain was
filling up with information, and soon you wouldn't have room to remember
anything new? Well, that's not far off the mark, according to this study.

: Is your brain full? Have you learnt anything lately? Did'ya have to forget
other stuff first? Has your brain changed lately? Have you acquired any new
habits? Are they disgusting? Would'ya rather not discuss it? Should we care?
