# Abductions - The Truth. Since the modern era of abductions began with the
Barney and Betty Hill UFO close encounter of September 19, 1961 in New
Hampshire, ufology has never been the same. Before the Hills' encounter,
UFO sightings were investigated in a prescribed, straight forward manner
that involved gathering supporting evidence while simultaneously trying to
disprove a witness's account. http://www.sightings.com/ufo4/abduct2.htm
: Is disproof impossible? Does only a moron try to prove a negative? Have
you gathered sufficient evidence? Have you gone to another place and time?

# Group promotes standards for 'connected home'. NEW YORK (Reuters) It may
not be the Jetsons, but building a "wired" home is becoming easier than
you think. A major consortium claims to have devised an easy, affordable
standard for wiring homes to efficiently handle everything from heating to
lighting to Internet access. "Wiring America's Homes" for less than $2000;

: Would you rather wire your house, your head, a head for a reservation, the
White House, the Kremlin, Buckingham Palace, the celestial city, eels? Why?

@ IF WE BUY BODY ORGANS, WHO IS GOING TO SELL THEM? If we pay for egg and
sperm donations, and if people are dying waiting for a new kidney, why
shouldn't a kidney donor or donor's family get some compensation as well?

@ WILL THE CLONERS PUT THE ORGAN SELLERS OUT OF BUSINESS? Yes, if cloning
research is allowed to advance without restrictions, then we could develop
the ability to grow new organs - and make debates on buying/selling organs
moot. http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/DeanFullTextTopics.cfm?ID=17284
: What body parts would you like to buy, sell, rent, lease? Would you prefer
to clone or be cloned? What's your favorite organ? Electric or acoustic? Eh?

# 2100 AD - Cornell Study Warns Of A Miserable Life On Overcrowded Earth.
ITHACA, N.Y. -- 100 years from now, democratically determined population-
control practices & sound resource-management policies could have Earth's
2 billion people thriving in harmony with the environment. Lacking these
approaches, a new Cornell U. study suggests, 12 billion miserable humans
will suffer a difficult life on Earth by the year 2100. Only you can
prevent overbreeding: http://www.sightings.com/politics4/miserable.htm
: Do you like lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and
lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of neighbors? Eh?

"I was just sitting down to a nice plate of lutefisk when my yak decided
to barf all over my dog. This seems to happen everytime I try eating
lutefisk in front of the yak. The problem is that I only have a studio
apartment so there's no place here I can eat lutefisk without the yak
seeing and the dog is beginning to smell real bad. To top it all off
I know that all the lutefisk I've eaten over the years is planning to
attack me while I'm sleeping so I just don't sleep anymore. All I do
is watch late-night infomercials and eat lutefisk with my stinky puppy.
Can anyone help?" --"Flying Boy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
