# Meltdown in the Alps - Global warming is having a dramatic effect on the
  Alps. (BBC) Scientists have discovered that Europe's permafrost, the
  frozen earth covering mountain areas like the Alps, is melting.

# New route breaks the ice. (BBC) A time-saving new shipping route connec-
  ting Europe to the Pacific may be navigable thanks to global warming. The
  North Eastern Passage, which cuts through the arctic waters along Siberia,
  was until now locked by ice. However, the steady rise in temperatures over
  the last 20 years has seen the ice thin and retreat substantially. Hotcha!

@ Hitler and The Spear of Destiny. Both Guernica & the 1934 drawing conceal
  references to a mystical battle between Picasso and Hitler in connection
  with the Spear of Destiny. This hidden pictorial narrative, set in the
  context of Wagner's opera Parsifal, reveals some uncanny associations with
  events in Hitler's life and with his quest to dominate Europe. And maybe
  his vegetarianism too? http://web.org.uk/picasso/spear.html   Picasso's
  occult connexions: http://www.cix.co.uk/~phreak/picasso/parsifal.html

& Some Christians object to celebrating Easter because the word "Easter"
  originates with the ancient goddess Ishtar or Astarte. I once spoke to a
  Protestant theologian (who himself celebrated Easter with all the trim-
  mings) who told me that the NT acolytes of Ishtar passed around "Ishtar
  eggs" during their goddess' spring celebrations. But other Christians'
  main concern - I am in this number - is which chocolate ear should I bite
  off first?  To tell me I can't eat eggs or candy because they once had
  some occult connection is a little like telling me I can't brush my teeth
  because Adolf Hitler did. [from GWAGNEROLDTIMERADIO@YAHOO.COM ]

: Hitler was a vegetarian [which caused great flatulence, the treatment for
which included massive doses of toxins that drove him mad... but I digress];
therefore, vegans are Nazis and all right-thinking folks should eat lots of
meat, preferably raw.  Or so the logic goes...

 "Life's aim, if it has one, is simply to be always looking for temptations.
  There are not nearly enough. I sometimes pass a whole day without coming
  across a single one. It is quite dreadful. It makes one so nervous about
  the future." --Oscar Wilde
