# Biotech will someday enable whites to choose a permanent tan, and blacks
to opt for a degree of whiteness. Goodbye to the myths of race:

@ Pay close attention to the infection of the month:
http://www.pds.med.umich.edu/users/greenson/infectcasesmonth.html
: How soon will we be able to choose our gender/color/species, changing same
as easily as we dye our hair now? Will ancient stereotypes remain? Will new
prejudices develop? Will we have each other because of our neural networks?
# Cosmically speaking, do we last a long time for our size, or a short time?
In truth, humans are too small for their life span. Except for the really
obese people, of course: http://www.linguafranca.com/0002/hypo.html

# More toys to be Net-linked. (AP) - Parents long have complained that kids
quickly lose interest in their toys. But that may change with the introd-
uction of toys that use the Web to add new games & activities. Toy makers
are making a big push this year to connect their products to the Internet.
The key to these toys: rather than being tethered to a computer, children
can download new data from the Web and then go offline to resume their
play. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2563978574-419
# News screens coming to elevators. CHICAGO (AP) If 30-second elevator trips
seem but an exercise in ennui, take heart: The Net is set to come along
for the ride. But for those who relish the quiet "downtime" of an elevator
ride, it might be time to take the stairs. Elevator news has arrived. In a
21st-century version of Muzak, two ventures are outfitting office towers &
hotels in several cities with what they hope is the next big thing of the
high-tech age: news'n'info screens in elevators. You can run but you can't
hide: http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2563978361-c5f
: How soon until the biosphere is a holographic cloud of infotainment? How
soon until everything & everyone is hard-wired into the Net? When will you
be assimilated? Are you Borg yet? Is resistance futile? How can you fight?

# Uranium workers used in experiments. LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) Some workers at
a govt uranium processing plant participated in experiments in the 1950s
where they breathed the radioactive element. Some human lab rats at the
Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant volunteered for the tests, but some may
not have been told of the dangers. In one experiment, staffers volunteered
to breathe a radioactive gas to see how quickly uranium was excreted in
their urine: http://infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2563974722-d01
: Does your piss glow? D'ya create bright fluorescent patterns in the snow?
Did govt agents, scientists, Illuminati, Reptoids, robots conspire to test
radioactives on you? Did they eliminate your internal & external parasites?
Are you free of fleas, worms, ticks, lice? Is this worth the glowing piss?

@ LANGUAGE CONSPIRACY. Probably one of the greatest, but least suspected
(and least taken seriously) conspiracy is the Language Conspiracy. This
is the conspiracy to keep different people of different cultures in all
parts of the world from communicating with each other easily and
efficiently. Babel redux: http://www.freedomdomain.com/language.html

Call is, and human Equivalents <http://zetatalk.com/call/c48.htm> to The
Call; Who Takes the Call <http://zetatalk.com/call/c15.htm> and how the
term Lightworker <http://zetatalk.com/call/c16.htm> relates; how those

of galactic culture? Does your implant function as a universal translator?

# Rare Copernicus volume stolen. MOSCOW (AP) - A rare 1543 first edition by
astronomer Nicholas Copernicus has been stolen from a library in St. Pet-
ersburg, and authorities have appealed to Interpol to help in its return.
The book, one of 107 copies in the world, was among 23 rare books from the
16th & 17th centuries stolen from the library of the Academy of Sciences.
The sale of a copy of Copernicus' "On the Revolutions of Heavenly Spheres"
<http://pluto.clinch.edu/history/wciv1/civ1ref/revolu.htm> at an auction
in the US prompted librarians in St. Petersburg to look for their copy,
and discovered it and the other books were missing. Culture bandits on the
prowl: http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2563924969-385
: Have you diminished human knowledge lately? Have you stolen many master-
pieces of scientific thought? Are your alien masters pleased with y'r work?
