* DOF: On January 20, 2001, President George W. Bush signed an executive
  order establishing the United States Department of Faith (DOF). Headed
  by Mr. Bush's and God's favorite church, Landover Baptist Church, the
  DOF is entrusted with overseeing disbursement of millions of taxpayer
  dollars to religious charities. The DOF does not discriminate against
  any faith, making funds available to both Baptist churches and other
  churches or organizations that recognize Jesus Christ as their Lord &
  Savior. Come one, come all. http://www.whitehouse.org/DOF/index.asp

* RESEARCHERS CREATE MONKEY EMBRYOS ASEXUALLY FOR STEM CELLS -- Scientists
  in the U.S. created monkey embryos asexually, without the use of sperm,
  in order to harvest stem cells from them.  Fried lightly with herbs, they
  taste just like chicken. http://cbc.ca/stories/2002/01/31/stemcells020131

* MICE CAN'T TELL MALE FROM FEMALE WITHOUT PHEROMONES - Mice use pheromones
  to distinguish males from females, a new genetic study on the rodents has
  found. Groping isn't reliable. http://cbc.ca/stories/2002/01/31/mice020121

Do you prefer sexuality, asexuality, polysexuality, autosexuality, ETs, me?
Can you distinguish your sex from a hole in the ground? With any accuracy?

out-of-sequence, bah!

Thursday, March 14, 2002 04:46 p.m. P.D.T.

Due to reorganization, recapitulation, regurgitation, re-estimation,
revision, and what the voices in my head insisted I do, some of the
non-bulletins were posted online elsewhere.  Page through SkeptiLog
to see those entries.  Or not.  Whatever.




Conspiro Fever!

ONWARD!

July 08, 2001 10:45 p.m. P.D.T.

http://home.earthlink.net/~geoffspear/discord/principia/page19.html
Onward Christian Soldiers, Onward Buddhist Priests.
Onward, Fruits of Islam, Fight till you're deceased.

http://www.acronet.net/~robokopp/english/onwardc1.htm
Onward, Christian soldiers, Rip and tear and smite!
Let the gentle Jesus, Bless your dynamite.

http://www.angelfire.com/id/iconsoffilth/onwardl.html#soldiers
Onward Christian Soldiers • Another life awaits •
(Lies & assurances of something better in the future
always makes us happy with the shit we have at present •)

http://witch.drak.net/lilith/pagansoldiers.html
"Onward Pagan Soldiers... marching over Barr...
 with the Constitution going on before."

http://google.com/search?num=100&safe=off&q=%22ONWARD+cyber+SOLDIERS%22
Googling for "ONWARD JEWISH SOLDIERS" (or Quaker, Alien, Hindu,
Martian, Atheist, Vegan, Heretic, Shinto, Muslim, Heathen, Psycho,
Psychic, Mormon, Aryan, Papist, Vampire, Undead, Spastic, etc)
produces spotty-to-zero results.  Some lyricists need to engage
themselves in filling this gaping void in the sacred literature.

NOTE: In case you're wondering what brought all THIS on, I was doing
research for my http://www.sonic.net/~ric/go/vheal2.htm#sono page.
