# Hacker zaps access to Area 51 pics. RALEIGH, NC (AP) - A hacker disrupted
service for 36 hours to a Web site showing detailed satellite images of
Area 51, the top-secret Air Force site in Nevada. Aerial Images Inc. said
the hacker struck 6 hours after 5 images of the desert proving ground were
loaded onto the site <http://www.terraserver.com>. The attack, combined
with traffic 10 times what the site usually bears, meant millions of geeks
found access difficult or impossible. Service was disrupted for 4 days.

# Filipinos celebrate Good Friday with blood. SAN PEDRO CUTUD, Philippines
(AP) - Thousands of tourists flocked here Friday to watch a bizarre high-
light of Easter week celebrations in Asia's largest Catholic nation - the
nailing of penitents to crosses in re-enactments of Jesus' death. At least
9 Filipinos, including a woman, hope to be "crucified" on 3 crosses on a
small hill outside San Pedro Cutud,a farming village north of Manila. Most
stay on the crosses under a hot sun for only a few minutes in the ritual
that has continued more than 40 years. The faithful believe it is a form
of penance that helps prayers get answered. Throughout the Philippines,
thousands of bloody penitents, including children, observed Good Friday
by walking barefoot through dusty village streets beating their bare
backs with ropes and pieces of wood, splashing spectators with blood.

death by Pontius Pilate, the Roman ruler of the city. Fanatics care:
