SkeptiNews - - - - - - - - - - - - - All The News That's Fit To Question

# Fringes of: Science, Faith, Paranormal, Conspiracy, Sex-Dope-Art, etc.
# Confused? Find calm, moral guidance at http://sonic.net/~ric/go/go.htm
# No cryptohominids were devoured during the production of this bulletin.

  Where to see the continued postings of yr humble editor, Ric Carter:
 
# Paranormal yakk will be on SkeptiChat: http://sonic.net/~ric/vsub.htm
# Sightings & updates will be on SkeptiLog: http://skeptilog.pitas.com
# Political horrors & rants, conspiracies & ETs, science & scares, will
  spread at InThe Shadows:: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/InTheShadows

I did this once before but this time I mean it.  Ashes to ashes, rust to
rust, SkeptiNews will crumble to dust.  SkeptiNews grew out of bulletins
I posted to UFOmind some years back, which I then moved to SkeptiChat as
trigger items to provoke discussion.  As it turned out, it was too much
hard work and not enough fun discussions.  Also, a number of fine elists
generate frequent bulletins; it's easier to forward to SC & ItS than to
mine/plagiarize them for SkeptiNews.  So call me lazy, or tired, or ???
 
Ah, Gentle Readers, those of you who eagerly awaited these bulletins to
appear on Usenet newsgroups will just have to subscribe to SC and/or ItS
or go without.  SC and ItS subscribers should cross-subscribe. And EVERY
ONE OF YOU should read the regular updates to SK.AGOG! (SkeptiLog Agog,
Agog), which will now serve as my home page.  And one of these days I'll
write a memoir, THE PATH TO SKEPTINEWS, covering the transition from old
DESERT RAT SCRAP BOOKs to fusty elists to ultramodern blogging to ... ??

* EVIDENCE FOR CREATION BY OUTSIDE INTERVENTION. Darwinists, Creationists
  and Intelligent Design proponents are unable to explain anomalies in the

* Chilean region declared official UFO tourism zone * Mayor Miguel Marquez
  makes local UFO sightings into a tourist attraction in San Jose de Maipo,
  Chile. Looky looky: http://www.bayarea.com/mld/bayarea/news/3468215.htm
 
* Serpent sightings stir 'Loch Ness' fever * A group of seemingly rational
  men plan to determine once and for all whether a lake in southern Norway
  really harbors a sea monster, after years of reported sightings. G'luck!
 
* Baton fails to snare Nessie * Nessie hunters have failed in their latest
  try to find the Loch Ness monster-using the Queen's Golden Jubilee baton.
 
Have you found any aliens/angels/demons/deities/monsters/murderers lately?
Have they found you? Are they worth viewing? Are you? In what light? Why?
 
* FACE ON MARS IS HALF-FELINE, HALF-HUMAN * Those aliens were cat-people.
_ _ _ _ _
 
* The future of mind control * Neuroscientists used electrodes to stimulate
  the brains of women in ways that caused pleasurable feelings.  Subjects
  came to no harm -- indeed their symptoms appeared to evaporate, at least
  temporarily -- but they quickly fell in love with their experimenters.
  http://www.economist.com/opinion/displayStory.cfm?story_id=1143583

* CHURCH SEX CRISIS * U.S. Catholic bishops vote to bar from the ministry
  clerics who sexually abuse minors in the future. But no action was taken
  against past single offenders, nor against bishops who protected abusers.
  The scum: http://www.cnn.com/2002/US/06/14/bishops.conference/index.html
 
Would you rather have sex with scientists, priests, electrodes, cucumbers,
aliens, Aussies, me? Does sex control your mind? Do you have any left over?
 
* SEX ED DOESN'T WORK, BUT ABSTINENCE IS WORSE * Canadian research supports
_ _ _ _ _
 
* US runs low on snakebite antidote * Americans are being warned to watch
  out for vicious rattlesnakes this summer as hospitals are suffering acute
* A backyard mystery: Critters, and critter heads, impaled all over. Yow!

* S.C. SENDS TROOPERS TO STOP PLUTONIUM * Gov. Jim Hodges ordered state
  troopers and other authorities to South Carolina's borders Friday to stop
  government shipments of plutonium that could begin arriving from Colorado
  as early as this weekend. The legislature will discuss secession next
  week. http://www.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/06/14/plutonium.standoff.ap/

Are aliens/mages/troops/snakes interfering with your socio-politico-mental
health? Are you willing to fight for your freedom to breed rattlesnakes??
