# Reincarnation guru unworried by skeptics. People now gone and bodies long
  buried, but souls, Brian Weiss would say, that could be here still - clad,
  perhaps, in the trim, broad-shouldered body of the bellhop at the front
  desk or the slender figure of the harpist in the lobby. 20 years ago, the
  Yale-trained psychiatrist would have called that notion hooey. That was
  before a patient named Catherine went farther than Weiss intended under
  hypnosis, back to what seemed to be a long-ago lifetime in the Near East.

# NASA, Dreamtime on a space mission. NASA has millions of feet of film and
  pictures of its missions to outer space sitting in a vault at 10 degrees
  Fahrenheit. Scientists and the public can ask to view them, but it takes
  about a month to retrieve requested footage. That's all about to change,
  thanks to a public-private partnership with San Francisco-based Net firm
  Dreamtime. Dreamtime will digitize the archived film and make it available
  on the Net, and put high-definition video cameras on the international
  space station and space shuttle missions to produce new footage for both
  Net and TV. Beam me in: http://www.alienzoo.com/news/a/200006050002.cfm

@ Vendyl Jones And The Ark Of The Covenant. We're all familiar with Steven
  Spielberg's famous film, "Raiders of the Lost Ark," in which Indiana Jones
  searches for the Ark of the Covenant. That was of course fictitious, but
  there is, really & coincidentally, a man named Jones, who's been involved
  for a long time in a very serious search for the Ark of the Covenant. His
  name is Vendyl Jones. Jones is not only looking for the Ark, but he has
  already found some of the important holy items associated with it. Why
  does it have to be SNAKES?!?! http://www.sightings.com/general2/ark.htm

# GM corn OK to butterflies. (AP) Corn that's genetically engineered to kill
  an insect pest isn't a threat to at least one common type of butterfly,
  according to the first of a series of field studies being run to find if
  the crop is a danger to the environment.The biotech corn, known as Bt corn
  for a bacterium gene that makes it toxic to the European corn borer,became
  controversial last year after a lab study suggested it could kill monarch
  butterflies. The finding produced a public outcry in Europe and calls from
  environmental groups to curb the spread of gene-altered crops, but biotech
  supporters said the lab research didn't replicate actual field conditions.
  See http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2567114661-950

: Have you bioengineered any toxic plants/animals/fungi/aliens lately? Have
you thoroughly tested your GM products? Do they kill precisely who/what/when
you want them to kill? Are your applications commercial, military, artistic?
