  right! http://www.eurekalert.org/releases/uoro-nci041700.html

# EASTER CHICKS MAY HATCH SALMONELLA SURPRISE. They're cute, soft, fluffy --
  and potentially deadly. Federal health officials warn that baby chicks
  sold to youngsters during the Easter season may harbor illness-inducing
  Salmonella bacteria. In fact, "the risk posed by chicks and ducklings may
  be highest for children since Salmonella infections in children may be
  more severe." http://www.healthcentral.com/news/newsfulltext.cfm?ID=31708

: Have you penetrated or been penetrated by any nonhuman entities lately? Do
you do this often? Have you been caught yet? Do your beliefs spread disease?

@ Myths, legends, bunk, snake-oil, and disinformation abound. [There's BS
  everywhere.] If eternal vigilance is the price of freedom, then skepticism
  <http://work.ucsd.edu:5141/cgi-bin/http_webster?skepticism&method=exact>
  is hard currency indeed. The Committee for the Scientific Investigation of
  Claims of the Paranormal <http://www.csicop.org/home.html> (CSICOP) was
  founded by The Amazing Randi <http://www.randi.org/>, former magician and
  the most public of the debunkers. A page off the Discordian Society's home
  <http://www.discord.org/> (a story unto itself) contains a well organized

# PROPHET YAHWEH SUMMONS THE UFO'S. We all know about the claims of CSETI
  & Greer of training people to call out UFOs, but CSETI comes with a large
  price tag and I haven't come across one video or credible person to back
  up CSETI's claims. Prophet on the other hand appears to be able to do the
  impossible. Bring the UFOs out of the sky everyday. To back this claim up.
  He has several videos he or others shot showing him summon the UFOs & then
  they appear in the sky. http://www.skywatch-international.org/tomking1.htm

# Scores Of RODS Videotaped Over Japan. Esp. just before earthquake 1-17-95
  many Rods flew over Kobe city: www.sightings.com/general/rodsjapan.htm
@ "Boules de Feu" - Ball lighting: Is it behind UFO reports? Does it exist
  at all? http://ufos.about.com/culture/ufos/library/weekly/aa041700a.htm

: Have you summoned/videotaped/experienced (m)any UFOs lately? Do you keep a
camcorder constantly at hand, in case any UFOs present themselves? Do rods/
UFOs/fireballs/videotapes/you actually exist? Are we all hallucinating? Why?
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

# Strange Tongues: A Personal Encounter. A girl began singing with the most
  crystal clear, ethereal, coloratura imaginable. I had never heard this
  kind of singing before and asked a fellow student what it was. She said,
  "They're speaking in tongues." http://anomalist.com/features/features.html

: I've spoken in tongues in that same room - was I possessed by holy spirits
or demons, aliens, mind-control operatives? Many people in that room spoke
in tongues - is it mass-hysteria, a spiritual focus, the abduction zone? How
can we distinguish between glossolalia and "channeling a paranormal entity?"

# WHY DOES SEX EXIST? Birds and bees do it, but to scientists who study
  evolution, sex seems wasteful, since many species that reproduce asexually
  get along just fine without it. In the evolutionary battle to survive,
  asexual species, whose members can clone themselves, would seem to have
  an advantage over sexual animals -- like people -- that take two to
  reproduce. http://www.healthcentral.com/news/newsfulltext.cfm?ID=29793

/drugs/fantasy lately? Would you do anything for orgasm/memory/growth/food?

# THE IMF AND WORLD BANK: TWO INSTRUMENTS OF NATIONAL DESTRUCTION.  When an
  IMF mission goes into a country and requires the destruction of social and
  economic institutions as a condition for lending money - this is very sim-
  ilar to the physical destruction caused by NATO bombing. Closing schools,
  hospitals, factories http://emperors-clothes.com/articles/chuss/instru.htm

: Does your conspiracy wage war by other means, just like any nation-state?
Are all nation-states conspiracies? Are all international agencies plots? Do
you approach conspiracies from the left/center/right/top/bottom/elsewhere??

@ Moses' Law for Modern Government: The Intellectual and Sociological
  Origins of the Christian Reconstructionist Movement. Bending society to

Is your ideology based on observable reality, pragmatic action, metaphysical
fantasy, subliminal suggestion, alien implantation? Is all ideology bogus?
