@ Malthus was wrong. Though populations may grow faster than food supplies,

# Humour 'not in genes' (BBC) Your genes have little to do with your sense
  of humour, according to research carried out among twins. Your own damn
  fault: http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/health/newsid_697000/697227.stm

# Law Lord Mocks Masonic Handshake. THE most senior UK judge, a Freemason,

taught to be like that, or did you pick it up on your own, or bred for it??

# BIG BROTHER: To safeguard cars, ICs pluck power and data from thin air.
  (EDN) In Europe, auto insurers won't write theft policies on new cars that
  lack vehicle-immobilization systems. Manufacturers must therefore install
  the systems in all cars destined for that continent. European cars sold in
  the US now incorporate immobilization systems, and IC manufacturers expect
  the systems to soon appear in all new cars, no matter where they are ass-
  embled. Gotcha: http://www.ednmag.com/ednmag/reg/2000/03302000/07hiw.htm

# ALIEN IN CALIFORNIA: A three-foot tall pilot of a flying saucer from
  another planet has been kept alive in an incubator room in the state
  of California for two years, and progress is being made in efforts
  to communicate with him: http://www.sightings.com/general/ufonew.htm

@ Have blood cells ever been found in dinosaur fossils? Actual red blood
  cells in fossil bones from a Tyrannosaurus rex? With traces of the blood
  protein hemoglobin (which makes blood red and carries oxygen)? It sounds
  preposterous -- to those who believe that these dinosaur remains are at
  least 65 million years old. It is of course much less of a surprise to
  those who believe Genesis, in which case dinosaur remains are at most only
  a few thousand years old. http://christiananswers.net/q-aig/aig-c026.html

: Have you stored any aliens/dinosaurs/spirits/cretinists lately? Do aliens/
dinos/cretinists have red/yellow/blue/fluorescent blood? Have you checked'em
all? Do they talk to you? Are they recalcitrant research subject? D'ya fret?

# Second Enormous Iceberg Breaks Off From Antarctica. WASHINGTON (Reuters) -

# New Weather Modification Research Papers - The use of satellites, HAARP
  & microwave frequencies to manipulate and control severe weather patterns
  is Science reality. Believe it: http://www.sightings.com/general/neww.htm

: Have aliens started melting your planet's icecaps lately? Do they utilize
heat rays, greenhouse effects, solar flares, tectonic activity, all of the
above? Have you fought back against weather modification / global warming?
What's the best way to keep ice sheets intact? Have you tries SuperGlue??

# Crowd-control cookery: Microwaves among new non-lethal weapons. WASHINGTON
  (Gannett) In Seattle, unruly demonstrators disrupting WTO talks clashed
  with police. Halfway around the world in Kosovo, U.S. peacekeepers faced
  stone-throwing mobs. Gunfire as a response in either case would have been
  disastrous - and wasn't used. Police and soldiers in both confrontations
  had at their disposal a new, and some say controversial, arsenal designed
  to sting, stun, entrap, immobilize, sicken, knock the wind from - but not
  kill - assailants, suspects, agitators or enemies they are used against.

# Arab health ministers forbid human cloning, launch anti-smoking campaigns
  and call for a comprehensive strategy to fight AIDS and drug use. No word
  on punishment amputations: http://vny.com/cf/News/upidetail.cfm?QID=75812

: Does your conspiracy control/manipulate/influence human thought/behavior/
feelings? Do the microwaves you use for crowd-control also contribute to the
global warming? Does AIDS result from your manipulations? Are clones easier/
harder to control than normal humans? Have you cloned any smokers lately??

# SATANIC MURDER SHOCKS ARGENTINA. BUENOS AIRES (CWNews.com) - The brutal
  murder of a 50-year-old father at the hand of his two young daughters as

# UK AIDED US INDUSTRIAL SPIES? Britain came under unprecedented pressure
  from its European partners to reveal the extent of its involvement in a
  US-led spying network said to be used for industrial espionage. Bother.
  http://www.newsunlimited.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,154255,00.html

# US And Britain Assure EU They Are Not Spying. BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The
  European Union has said it has received assurances from the United States
  & Britain that their intelligence services are not involved in industrial
  espionage. No, it wasn't us: http://uk.news.yahoo.com/000330/1/a2nki.html

: Do you prefer to spy for economic/industrial, political/military, social/
religious, artistic/esthetic reasons? Are you addicted to spying? Have you
tried to quit, but just can't? Do voices in your head insist that you spy?

WARNING: It's that time again!

  As many of you know, each year the Internet must be shut down for 24 hours
in order to allow us to clean it.  The cleaning process, which eliminates
dead email and inactive ftp, www & gopher sites, allows for a better-working
and faster Internet.  This year, the cleaning process will take place from
11:59 p.m. GMT on March 31 until 12:01 a.m. GMT on April 2.  During that
24-hour period, 5 powerful Internet-crawling robots situated around the
world will search the Internet and delete any data that they find. In order
to protect your valuable data from deletion we ask that you do the
following:

1. Disconnect all terminals and local area networks from their Internet
   connections.
2. Shut down all Internet servers, or disconnect them from the Internet.
3. Disconnect all disks & hard drives from any connections to the Internet.
4. Refrain from connecting any computer to the Internet in any way.

  We understand the inconvenience that this may cause some Internet users,
and we apologize. We are certain, however, that any inconveniences will be
more than made up for by the increased speed and efficiency of the Internet,
once it has been cleared of electronic flotsam and jetsam. We thank you for
your co-operation.

  Kim Dereksen, Interconnected Network Maintenance staff Main branch,
    Massachusetts Institute of Technology

NOTE: Sysops and others: Since the last Internet cleaning, the number of
Internet users has grown dramatically. Please assist us in alerting the
public of the upcoming Internet cleaning by posting this message where
your users will be able to read it. Please pass this message on to other
sysops and Internet users as well. Thank you.
