# WILL FRANKENFOOD FEED THE WORLD? Genetically modified crops certainly have
  the potential to end the misery of hunger. And they are desperately needed
  — 800 million people are undernourished and population is expected to rise
  by 50 percent in the next half century. But GM crops should be introduced
  only after rigorous testing,and more work needs to be done to improve food
  distribution. http://www.time.com/time/reports/v21/tech/index_food.html

# RADIATION OVENS - THE PROVEN DANGERS OF MICROWAVES. Is it possible that
  millions of people are ignorantly sacrificing their health in exchange for

  answers to these questions may shock you into throwing your microwave
  oven in the trash. http://numismaticrareuscoin.com/nbn/microwave.html

# BREATHARIANS: LIBERATED FROM FOOD, DRINK AND GOOD SENSE. Here's one you're

  For obvious reasons, this cult's numbers are not really growing very fast.

# A Cone of Coherent Light. Lasers come in infrared & visible varieties, but
  none yet in the x-ray band. A compact & powerful source of coherent x rays
  is a dream of many physicists, who see applications such as making atomic-
 scale 3D movies of melting crystals or an operating photosynthesis protein.
  In a step toward that goal, a team has detected high frequency coherent
  light generated by a new process. http://focus.aps.org/v5/st25.html

# AstroVision Plans Constant Eye on Earth. A small Mississippi company wants

cones of coherent light at anyone? Would you like to govern electronically?
Do all these technologies tie in together?Are they subversive? Are you? How?

# Notes from the Contact Underground - American Public Health Association
  conventioneers shared their personal stories of sightings and other
  contact experiences. Humanoids etc: http://www.caus.org/mc061400.htm

@ UFO TRUTH MAILING LIST. If you are serious about your UFOs (and all other
  sorts of unexplained phenomena), this list will provide a steady stream of
  input to feed your curiosity & confirm your suspicions. Let me stress: A
  STEADY STREAM. So if you think it might be funny to tune in to some wacky
  UFO talk for a while, you may quickly regret that you signed on, as your
  in-box fills with messages ranging from edgy science to alternate theories
  about the virgin birth. This is a safe place to tell your alien abduction
  stories or to ask those nagging questions about Roswell (altho the NSA is
  undoubtedly monitoring it). http://ufotruth.listbot.com [Glenn McDonald]

: Have you told your tale of alien contact yet? Over and over again? Do the
voices in your head tell you to tell your tale to anyone who'll listen and
anyone else who won't? Do you explain otherwise unexplained phenomena too??

# Battle of the Bizarre. Once again this summer, 2 Coney Island freak shows
  will compete side-by-side for ticket sales-going shrunken head to shrunken
  head, pitting Fiji Mermaid against Fiji Mermaid. But unlike in past years,
  this season the owners of these opposing Outposts of Odd are sharing Surf
  Avenue with all the grace & civility of Siamese twins in a fistfight. It's
  an outright war of the freak shows, waged mostly through gripes & insults,
  but also featuring a fair amount of price-gouging, freak-poaching and
  backdoor rumor-mongering. http://www.alienzoo.com/news/n/200006120004.cfm

# MY QUEST FOR THE YETI:Confronting the Himalayas' Deepest Mystery. "Employs

  Asia's Bigfoot is nothing more than a supersize Paddington." Goo goo:

: What's y'r favorite non-ordinary display? Have you shrunk your own or any-
one else's head lately? D'ya prefer Mermaids, Yetis, Silkies, Goateed Gals,
2-Faced Kittens, me? Can good profits be made with such displays? How long?

# 'GUNSLINGER 2000' MILITARY EXERCISES BEGIN - Marines hit classroom, not

sucked much blood/energy/cash/spirit from anyone? Is cannibalism fun? D'ya

# How Neutron Stars Get Their Kicks: Rocket Theory. A newly formed neutron
  star is sent whizzing along at several hundred miles a second, sometimes
  more than 600 miles a second, compared with the original star, which typ-
  ically was dawdling along at a few tens of miles a second. Apparently,
  the neutron star is "kicked" at birth. But what is the origin of this
  kick that causes the furious acceleration of the newly born neutron
  star? http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/06/000612084713.htm

# Space travel teeters on the edge of an incredible revolution - travel at

# New Rockets Cut Travel Time. Advanced rocket tech could halve the time
  needed to reach Mars, opening the solar system to human exploration in the
  next decade. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2000/06/000614075447.htm

: How fast do you rocket along? Have you been kick-started by a neutron star
lately? Does that hurt? Are you ready to speed thru the universe, conquering
all within your path? Has someone else already done so? Will they prevail??

# Spaced-out: When not star-gazing for saucers, local UFO enthusiasts look

  & energy. Humbuggers: http://news.excite.com/news/r/000613/11/odd-shoes-dc

: Are your research efforts 'beyond the pale' of the mainstream? Are results
ambiguous? Is respect elusive? If you succeed, will unintended consequences
bite your ass? Is reality whatever bites your ass? Is free energy worth it?

# It's official - ghosts and evil demons are out there. For the first time,
  the Church of England has declared that ghosts and demons really do exist.
  A report by a team led by a senior bishop and endorsed by the Archbishop
  of Canterbury revealed that "evil oppression or possession" cannot always

# White Buffalo Born. The birth of a white buffalo is the fulfillment of
  age-old legends. The birth is significant to many because Native American
  cultures tell of a young woman who taught them how to use the buffalo for
  survival. When she left the people, she turned into a white buffalo and
  promised to return. "When she returned it would be a time of chaos and
  disaster in the world. And when she returned it would be a time for all

# LIFE - SPACE ROCK CLUES: http://www.alienzoo.com/news/y/200006130009.cfm

# Arny's robots shape up to explore Mars. TRANSFORMER robots that can change
  shape like Arnold Schwarznegger in the Terminator movies may be sent to
  explore Mars. And 3ft-long mechanical dragonflies may soon be buzzing over
  the Martian desert. Their design exploits British research efforts to
  discover why bees can fly, even though conventional aerodynamics says they
  should not be able to. http://www.alienzoo.com/news/t/200006130004.cfm

: Have you probed (m)any planets, moons, solar systems, galaxies, universes
lately?Is shape-shifting during exploration fun? Have you shape-shifted much
lately? Have you discovered life, shape-shifting or not? Are you shapely??

If you frighten enough western govts, can you achieve monopoly control of GM
technologies, then dictate the price of food/survival in the future? Really?

  "A sharp-pointed wing-tipped brogan hit me in the crotch -- POW! -- and
   it hurt real bad but Bobby Joelvitch Korisov the KGB agent had no idea
   he had tangled with Sister Theresa, disguised as a man, representing
   VESPER (Vatican Expeditionary Secret Police and Elite Religionists) so I
   just laughed -- HA, HA! -- and kicked *him* in the crotch with my black
   low-heeled Gucci health shoes, and watched with amusement as the Commie
   chauvinist pig scuttled off in a very low crouch." --Bob F. Bledsoe
