EARTHLINGS WHO WANT ALIEN TECHNOLOGY
A group of scientists working to
reveal the facts about UFOs, extraterrestrial intelligence, and
classified advanced energy and propulsion systems are coming to
Vancouver as part of the worldwide tour of The Disclosure Project. The
Campaign for Disclosure hopes that the release of knowledge about alien
technology covered up by the American government can help end pollution
and global warming, bring solutions to the energy crisis, and "begin an
era of peaceful relations with other civilizations in space". The
Disclosure Project boasts the testimony of over 60 top-secret military,
government, intelligence and corporate witnesses of secret
extraterrestrial projects. The Disclosure Project comes to town as part
of the Vancouver Outer Space Forum: Implications for the Environment,
on Sunday, Sept. 9, 1-6 p.m. at Simon Fraser University.

RETURN OF THE COW MUTILATIONS!
The National Institute for Discovery
Science has been called to the town of Conrad, Montana in order to
investigate the reappearance of cow mutilations. Since June, there have
been four mysterious deaths involving cows "missing the left side of
their faces, missing their tongues, part of the udder, and so on" says
Pondera County Deputy Sheriff Dan Campbell. Theories range from satanic
cults to UFOs, but no conclusive evidence has ever been found. "Cults
tend to use smaller animals like chicken and goats. Tackling a
2,000-pound bull is not the kind of things cults are known for," says
Dr. Colm Kelleher, who is studying the carcasses. In the late 70's,
Montana was host to over 60 such slayings, which remain unsolved to
this day. (Las Vegas Weekly)
MONKEYING AROUND
A book entitled Bonobos: The Forgotten Ape by
primatologist Franz de Waal has some interesting observations on the
sexual antics of this primate, claiming that they are the "free-sex
hippies of the animal world." Bonobo society, he says "literally
revolves around elaborate, recreational sex. They typically resolve a
group conflict with a nice, long orgy." As well, he says, bonobos
practice "every combination imaginable," including homosexuality and
sex with their young. (ABC News)
EAT OR BE EATEN
Binghamton, New York is trying to shut down a website
which claims to sell "100 per cent human meat, no fillers." ManBeef.com
offers "exceptionally high quality" human meat to the "sophisticated
human meat consumer." Although Binghamton police have determined that
the site is a hoax, city officials fear the poor image and stigma on
their town for being associated with the ManBeef "corporation" and are
seeking a legal recourse to shut down the site, but police say "it's
only a crime if they were actually selling it. It's just a spoof."

HERE'S THE SCRIPT FOR SCHWARZENNEGER'S NEXT MOVIE
The DNA Copyright
Institute in San Francisco, is urging Hollywood stars and other famous
people to copyright their DNA in order to protect their legal rights in
case somebody clones them against their will. Andre Crump, founder of
the Institute, claims that cloning will become very easy and celebrity
DNA will be simple to obtain because enough DNA to create a clone is
left behind after a person uses the telephone. (BBC)
BUT CAN IT WRITE SARCASTIC LITTLE JABS?
In the future, this newspaper
may be written by robots. And the man who signs our cheques couldn't be
happier. Last week, the developers of a software program called Author
told the American Association of Artificial Intelligence that the
program is almost ready to replace journalists by (I"m paraphrasing
here) "plucking text off the news wires and rearranging the words into
punchy stories." The only problem, they say, is that Author can not
tell fact from fiction. Yeah, well, neither can I. (New Scientist)
CLEVER CHRISTIANS
A new survey of almost a thousand Christians found
that 60 per cent did not believe that Jesus would bother going to
church if he were alive today and 43 per cent believe that the modern
church turns people off of Christianity. (www.sky.com)
