# 'Satan' worship in Mizoram worries church. AIZAWL, India. In the dark of
  night a mixed group of high schoolers huddle in a cemetery, holding hands
  & chanting invocations to Satan. The "worshippers" soon fall into trance;
  one after another slash their wrists in a ritual offering of blood to the
  fallen angel. www.indiaserver.com/thehindu/2000/06/19/stories/0219000r.htm

# SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL. Death-worshipping church or apocalyptic prophets?
  The Process Church of the Final Judgement - Accused of being a "black-
  caped, black-garbed, death-worshipping church" with ranks of mindless
  "hooded snuffoids," they believed they were visionaries warning of the
  coming apocalypse. http://www.forteantimes.com/artic/134/process.html

# Watch for Ed Gein's gravestone to show up on eBay. The Wisconsin serial
  killer who inspired "Psycho" is in the news again as thieves grabbed his
  grave marker and ran. "There are people who would pay big bucks for that,"
  says the sheriff. http://jsonline.com/news/state/jun00/gein20061900a.asp

: What's your favorite satanic ritual? D'ya prefer to worship death masked

  of Egyptian Pounds into the restoration of tombs, icons, altars... and the
  installation of restrooms. http://www.egypttoday.com/feat01.htm

# Oldest Temple in Egypt: Tell Ibrahim Awad Reveals Temple Upon Temple.Under
  the rich rubble of a Middle Kingdom temple are ruins of the oldest-known

# Heavenly Light: Lasers blaze new path for studying stars in lab. Seems odd
  to find astronomers working in windowless labs, but that's where some of
  the best new views are. Instead of gazing at exploding stars,giant planets
  & interstellar blast waves, scientists now replicate such phenomena in the
  lab. Supernova in a bottle: http://alienzoo.com/news/e/200006210007.cfm

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

# Robots in the 21st Century. Where are they? Despite the arrival of year
  2000, some folks are disappointed that robots aren't everywhere. After
  all, isn't that what futurists promised? In reality, robots are around

  beings are playing soccer, fetching the newspaper, and keeping people
  company at home. http://www.bergen.com/biz/robot19200006192.htm

# ET Rover Produces Power. Scientists think they've found a way to generate
  power from robotic devices placed on the moon & other planets. Making its
  way across rocks and dust of the moon, the rover that's being developed by
  NASA-funded researchers would pull behind it a trail of solar cells capable
  of powering a moon base. http://www.cosmiverse.com/paranormal062202.html

: What's your favorite robot? Are you a robot? Have you been enslaved? D'ya
yearn for freedom? Are you tired of fetching, carrying, punting, schmoozing?
