# High tides threaten Tuvalu. (BBC) The island nation of Tuvalu in the
Pacific Ocean is being threatened by record high tides this weekend.
Much of the main island, Funafuti, may be flooded for up to six hours.
One of the lowest-lying countries in the world, Tuvalu would be most
at risk from rising sea levels were they to result from a major warming
of the planet. http://www.newshub.com/cgibin/rd.cgi?9403336

: How much global warming is enough? D'ya have a boat? Which nations/coasts/
islands are expendable? Which would you like to drown? Would you rather be
flooded, irradiated, smothered in volcanic ash, abducted by aliens, bored?
# Will Yellowstone Blow As A Supervolcano In 2070? (BBC) If this giant were

@ A VOYAGE TO KNOWLEDGE OF THE AFTERLIFE. Do the many levels of conscious-
ness that we can access in 'out-of-body' travels, prove the existence of
life beyond this one? Really? http://www.altnews.com.au/nexus/bmoen.html

: How is your consciousness working today? IS it working? Did you surrender
your will to anyone lately? When you get "out-of-body" do they let you back
in? Do they let you remember the past, present, future? Do they take bribes?
# Burandanga. (WSJ) If you thought cocaine was bad news, wait until you hear
about Burandanga. Burundanga is a kind of voodoo powder obtained from a
Colombian local plant of the nightshade family, a shrub called barrachera,
or "drunken binge". Used for hundreds of years by Native Americans in rel-
igious ceremonies, the powder when ingested causes victims to lose their
will and memory, sometimes for days. But don't all religions do that?

# "Sex and Rockets" - When JPL co-founder and occultist Jack Parsons wasn't
busy building rockets, he was chatting up the "whore of Babylon." (Salon)
It's been nearly three decades since Thomas Pynchon pondered the psychic
connections between sex, rockets and the Kabala in his convoluted novel
GRAVITY'S RAINBOW. But even that was 30 years after Jack Parsons embraced
that oddly compelling trinity -- as a self-taught chemist and co-founder
of Pasadena's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), who devoted much of his
life to magic and following the occult mage Aleister Crowley.

# Porn's Parallel Web Universe. Angelique is an Internet entrepreneur. She
taught herself programming, runs her own site, and is concerned with how

dressed in black leather. http://www.upside.com/Ebiz/38adbbff0.html
: Have you had sex in/with/under/beyond a rocket lately? Do aliens dress in
black leather & paddle you? Is this strangely stimulating? Do mystic forces
impel you? Have you worked out convoluted numerological patterns? Did you
hear about the constipated mathematician who worked it out with a pencil?
