Good Morning Viewers!
|
|
|
|
As I write this, 1993 is off to a bang with bombs over Bagdad (again).
|
|
|
|
It is this Deja Voodoo that makes me think back to days gone by. You
|
|
|
|
know, I always seem to get nostalgic and/or nauseous at this time of
|
|
|
|
the year ... when I think back to where we have been and where we are
|
|
|
|
going and it all seems to congeal into one geletinous mass. And
|
|
|
|
speaking of geletinous masses, please enjoy this new issue of Unplastic
|
|
|
|
News. We originally attempted to collect our usual quotes and amass
|
|
|
|
a type of retrospective of the past year. We had hoped to put it into
|
|
|
|
some kind of perspective, but as it turns out we are more confused than
|
|
|
|
we were to begin with. We promptly decided to pass our confusion onto
|
|
|
|
you, the viewer. So, here it is. Issue #8. Quotes, snippetts and
|
|
|
|
chunks of 1992 and beyond. And somewhere in this, somewhere deep, is
|
|
|
|
the pumping of a digital heart. The pounding of a growing force which
|
|
|
|
has yet to be understood. Or maybe that is just the sound of the bombs,
|
|
|
|
because as I write this, 1993 is off to a bang with bombs over...

THE YEAR 1993 will produce extraordinary events such as
|
|
the discovery of a cure for AIDS
|
|
and a miraculous appearance by Jesus Christ...
|
|
|
|
In a recent conversation with a friend, Pope John Paul II admitted
|
|
to a divine meeting with the Virgin Mary. It was during that sensational
|
|
encounter that the Pontiff learned of the impending appearance of Christ.
|
|
John Paul told his friend that the miracle will occur on August 1 and
|
|
will be witnessed by millions.

Best Long Term Prediction (Sort Of)

>From an article on Sen. Ted Kennedy's Presidential aspirations,
|
|
by Lloyd Shearer in PARADE's "Intelligence Report" column, 1978:

|

that Kennedy's running mate in 1984 will be Bill Clinton,

a tall, handsom, 31-year-old former Rhodes scolar and

MCDONALD'S STATUE GOES UP IN FLAMES
|
|
San Jose Mercury News - Wednesday June 19, 1991
|
|
|
|
PHOENIX - The kidnapping of a life-size Ronald
|
|
McDonald statue came to an unhappy end, with the
|
|
clown left burning in the desert.
|
|
|
|
The 300-pound statue, stolen Sunday from a
|
|
McDonald's in Mesa, was found in flames by a
|
|
sheriff's helicopter crew that night.
|
|
|
|
In a phone call claiming responsibility, a man
|
|
said the robbery was an attempt to get McDonald's
|
|
to offer better food for vegetarians.

URANUS CONJUNCT NEPTUNE

|
Ponder on This...

A Message to the Bay Area House Family

A Rave New World
|
|
|
|
On Tuesday, February 2 at 12:12 a. m. PST, the planets Uranus and Neptune
|
|
will form what is known in astrology and astronomy as a conjunction. A
|
|
conjunction is when two or more heavenly bodies occupy the same visual
|
|
area of the sky.
|
|
|
|
When this happens the energies of both planets are intensified and work in
|
|
unison. The Outer Planets, astrologically speaking, have a deeper,
|
|
longer lasting effects. Aspects (significant angles formed between two
|
|
heavenly bodies) involving the outer planets, bring about profound change
|
|
and events.
|
|
The last conjunction of outer planets involved Uranus and Pluto and
|
|
occurred on June 30, 1966. It was the catalyst for the "Summer of Love" in
|
|
1967 and Woodstock in 1968. Many of you know that what we are doing here
|
|
is special. It is not just about having a good time but something much
|
|
deeper, we are actually learning how to communicate and be with each other
|
|
in a very special way.

In October, biologists at China's Northwest University in Xian reported finding
|
|
a 77-pound slimeball floating on a river in Shaanxi province. According to the
|
|
scientists, the slimeball, a pure white fungus, gained 22 pounds in the first
|
|
three days the scientists observed it, and has the ability to move across the
|
|
ground on its own.

Another Modern Diety (Coca-Cola) is experiencing change:
|
|
|
|
Here is the fact of the week, maybe even the fact of the
|
|
month. According to probably reliable sources, the Coca-Cola people
|
|
are experiencing severe marketing anxiety in China.
|
|
|
|
The words "Coca-Cola" translate into Chinese as either
|
|
(depending on the inflection) "wax-fattened mare" or "bite the wax
|
|
tadpole".
|
|
|
|
Bite the wax tadpole.
|
|
There is a sort of rough justice, is there not?
|
|
|
|
The trouble with this fact, as lovely as it is, is that it's
|
|
hard to get a whole column out of it. I'd like to teach the world to
|
|
bite a wax tadpole. Coke -- it's the real wax-fattened mare. Not bad,
|
|
but broad satiric vistas do not open up.

You think YOU have marketing difficulties? Consider the case of Frank Purdue,
|
|
as reported in the New Haven Register yesterday. In an attempt to reach
|
|
the Hispanic market, the now-famous slogan "It takes a tough man to make a
|
|
tender chicken" was mistakenly translated for publication as "It takes a
|
|
sexually stimulated man to make a chicken affectionate".

"The term wyrd is the original form of today's weird, which means
|
|
strange or unexplainable. Wyrd had essentially the same meaning
|
|
more than a thousand years ago in shamanic Europe, but in sacred
|
|
rather than mundane realms. Wyrd was the unexplainable force -
|
|
the great mystery underlying all of existence - that was the
|
|
cornerstone of Anglo-Saxon shamanic practices."

A 38 year-old man, unidentified in news reports, was hopitalized in Princeton,
|
|
W. Va., in October with gunshot wounds. He had been drinking beer and reported
|
|
accidentally shooting himself three times -- as he attempted to clean each of
|
|
his three guns. He said the first shot didn't hurt, the second "stung a
|
|
little," and the third "really hurt," prompting him to call an ambulance.

"Jim Jones was a religious leader who called his parishioners
|
|
'family'...There was even a Jim Jones nude epic, called Love

Camp, in which the megalomaniac leader was a woman who forces

her flock to drink poison and make love in front of her while
|
|
some black queen serenades them with a rock song fittingly
|
|
called 'The End' ."

"Those like Stephan Hoeller who seek the hand of the Goddess in history
|
|
will invariably, I suspect, be disapointed. That's just not how She
|
|
does things.
|
|
|
|
Where was She when they were burning us? Why didn't She stop them? She
|
|
didn't intervene then because She was in the fire too, burning with us.
|
|
They tried to kill Her by killing us, but you can't kill the Goddess
|
|
and you can't kill her people. No, seek Her instead in the Cycle: She
|
|
moves, after all, from within.

... How boring is life in the Antarctic? People in one group wintering

at the South Pole in the 1960s watched the film "Cat Ballou" 87 times.
|

People in another, after tiring of the westerns, Disney features and

production and adopted a vocabulary based on their creation that was so

strange that relief crews arriving in the spring could barely understand

them.

Worst Editing of a Film: A movie theater manager in South Korea decided that
|
|
the running time of The Sound of Music was too long, so he shortened it by
|
|
cutting out all the songs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most Unusual Cannon: The Canadian National Research Council has come up
|
|
with a pneumatic cannon capable of firing dead chickens at speeds of up
|
|
to 620 miles per hour. It will accommodate either the standard caliber
|
|
four-pound chicken for testing aircraft windshields, or the larger
|
|
eight-pound bird for testing tail assemblies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most Unusual Hotel: Hotel La Parra is located off the coast of Spain and
|
|
boasts a truly unique view, since the entire hotel is 49 feet underwater.
|
|
Getting there is half the fun, as there are no boats serving the hotel.
|
|
Guests must swim there, with their gear sealed in waterproof bags. La Parra
|
|
can accommodate up to twelve guests at a time and is said to be quite
|
|
comfortable.

We are unlikely to get much respite from the onslaught of personal,
|
|
national, and world upheaval that have characterized the early 1990s.
|
|
Take a deep breath, relax and get centered. In all likelihood, even
|
|
bigger changes lie ahead. The revolution has really just begun. Almost
|
|
any careful reading of the news compels a singular conclusion - the
|
|
years leading to the Millennium are likely to be even more turbulent
|
|
and momentous than the years behind. As the outer world continues to
|
|
shift wildly, the extraordinary personal transformations that people
|
|
are experiencing will also intensify, for both the good and the bad.

Bizarre End-Of-The-Century Rituals Emerging
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
OWATONNA, Minn (AP) {found in a neswpaper from Buffalo, NY}
|
|
|
|
Roy Colette and his brother-in-law have been exchanging the same
|
|
pair of pants as a Christmas present for 11 years - and each time
|
|
the package gets harder to open. This year the pants came wrapped
|
|
in a car mashed into a 3-foot cube.
|
|
|
|
The trousers are in the glove compartment of a 1974 Gremlin. Now
|
|
Collette's plotting his revenge--if he can get them out.
|
|
|
|
It all started when Collette received a pair of moleskin trousers
|
|
from his brother-in-law, Larry Kunkel of Bensenville, Ill. Kunkel's
|
|
mother had given her son the britches when he was a college student.
|
|
He wore them a few times, but they froze stiff in cold weather
|
|
and he didn't like them. So he gave them to Collette.
|
|
|
|
Collette, who called the moleskins "miserable", wore them three
|
|
times, then wrapped them up and gave them back to Kunkel for
|
|
Christmas the next year.
|
|
|
|
The friendly exchange continued routinely until Collette twisted
|
|
the pants tightly, stuffed them into a 3-foot-long, 1-inch wide
|
|
tube and gave them back to Kunkel.
|
|
|
|
The next Christmas, Kunkel compressed the pants into a 7-inch
|
|
square, wrapped them with wire and gave the "bale" to Collette.
|
|
|
|
Not to be outdone, the next year Collette put the pants into a
|
|
2-foot-square crate filled with stones, nailed it shut, banded it
|
|
with steel and gave the trusty trousers back to Kunkel.
|
|
|
|
The brothers agreed to end the caper if the trousers were damaged.
|
|
But they were as careful as they were clever.
|
|
|
|
Kunkel had the pants mounted inside an insulated window that had a
|
|
20-year guarantee and shipped them off to Collette.
|
|
|
|
Collette broke the glass, recovered the trousers, stuffed them into
|
|
a 5-inch coffee can and soldered it shut. The can was put in a
|
|
5-gallon container filled with concrete and reinforcing rods and
|
|
given to Kunkel the following Christmas.
|
|
|
|
Two years ago, Kunkel installed the pants in a 225-pound homemade
|
|
steel ashtray made from 8-inch steel casings and etched Collette's
|
|
name on the side. Collette had trouble retrieving the treasured
|
|
trousers, but succeeded without burning them with a cutting torch.
|
|
|
|
Last Christmas, Collette found a 600-pound safe and hauled it to
|
|
Viracon Inc. in Owatonna, where the shipping department decorated
|
|
it with red and green stripes, put the pants inside and welded the
|
|
safe shut. The safe was then shipped to Kunkel, who is the plant
|
|
manager for Viracon's outlet in Bensenville.
|
|
|
|
Last week, the pants were trucked to Owatonna, 55 miles south of
|
|
Minneapolis, in a drab green, 3-foot cube that once was a car with
|
|
95,000 miles on it. A note attached to the 2,000-pound scrunched car
|
|
advised Collette that the pants were inside the glove compartment.
|
|
|
|
"This will take some planning," Collette said. "I will definitely
|
|
get them out. I'm confident." But he's waiting until January to
|
|
think about how to recover the bothersome britches.
|
|
|
|
"Wait until next year," he warned. "I'm on the offensive again."

Another Dude Who Gives Out Presents

|
|
From: bostic@vangogh.CS.Berkeley.EDU (Keith Bostic)
|
|
To: /dev/null@vangogh.CS.Berkeley.EDU (Mailing List)
|
|
Subject: Santa Manual
|
|
|
|
Subject: First Chirch of Santaism
|
|
Organization: Founder, First Chirch of Santaism
|
|
|
|
[From the "Santa Manual" distributed by Western Temporary Services,
|
|
providers of 3000 Santas to department stores and malls nationwide.]
|
|
|
|
Santa Do's:
|
|
|
|
- Santa should watch parents for signals. Santa should never promise
|
|
anything.
|
|
|
|
- Santa should always speak of himself as "Santa" or "Santa Claus";
|
|
Santa should never say "I".
|
|
|
|
- Santa should use the "Santa lift" to pick up children (Santa extends
|
|
leg; the child stands between Santa's knees and sits on the extended
|
|
leg; Santa pulls leg back to sitting position). This avoids quick
|
|
movements and saves Santa's back.
|
|
|
|
- Santa should use the term "folks" when referring to family, because
|
|
of all the non-traditional families that exist.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Santa Don'ts:
|
|
|
|
- Santa should omit the loud, booming "Ho ho ho's", because they often
|
|
frighten small children.
|
|
|
|
- Santa should avoid short, jerky, nervous movements.
|
|
|
|
- Santa should never show his mood. Santa must forget things that
|
|
upset him, because children will pick up on his mood.
|
|
|
|
- Santa should never be out of character when he is in costume.
|
|
|
|
- Santa should avoid references to the religious aspects of Christmas.
|
|
Religion is a personal matter; don't run the risk of offending parents
|
|
or confusing children. Stick to the universal aspects of Christmas.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sometimes children will ask Santa difficult questions. Santa needs to
|
|
be prepared to answer them in ways that won't put the child's folks in
|
|
a difficult situation or cause any damage to Santa's image. The
|
|
following are some of the questions that Santa might be asked, followed
|
|
by acceptable.
|
|
|
|
Question: Santa, I just saw you at another store.
|
|
|
|
Answer: That was one of my Helpers. You know, Santa needs Helpers.
|
|
|
|
[Real Answer: That's right, I can travel faster than light and move back
|
|
and forth through Time.]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Question: Why didn't you bring me what I asked you for last year?
|
|
|
|
Answer: I was at the North Pole last year, and it must have been one of
|
|
my Helpers who saw you. I'll try to get the matter straightened out
|
|
this year.
|
|
|
|
[Real Answer: Because you were bad.]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Question: Santa, can you bring me a baby brother?
|
|
|
|
Answer: OK, my fine young lady, you want a baby brother. Well, that's
|
|
clear out of my department. I bring gifts. You'll have to talk to
|
|
your folks about a baby brother.
|
|
|
|
[Real Answer: Come back and see me in a few years and I'll give you your
|
|
own baby.]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Question: I want a horse for Christmas.
|
|
|
|
Answer: You like horses, don't you? Is there anything else you would
|
|
like for Christmas?
|
|
|
|
[Real Answer: Tell you what, put on these spurs and you can ride me like
|
|
a horse any time you want to.]
|
|
|
|
|
|
It is absolutely necessary that Santa be neat and clean in appearance.
|
|
For this reason, we ask you, as responsible adults, to bathe every day,
|
|
to use a good deodorant and to use mouthwash. Smoking is not
|
|
permitted, as children will smell smoke on your breath. Also, the
|
|
beard is flammable.

And By All Means, Don't Act Like The Racist Santa of 1992:
|
|
|
|
A little kid lands on Santa's lap and they end up looking through
|
|
a coloring book with Santa saying something along the lines of
|
|
how the kid should just color in whatever he wants Santa to bring.
|
|
The kid colors in a monkey. The child was black and Santa asked,
|
|
"Do you know what a monkey is? Look in the mirror and see."

Implicit in the process of modeling is the separation of the subject
|
|
from the object, of the map from the territory. Problems arise when
|

A Brain-Computer interface is a staple of science fiction
|
|
writing. In it's earliest incarnations no mechanism was thought
|
|
necessary, as the technology seemed so far fetched that no explanation
|
|
was likely. As more became known about the brain however, the
|
|
possibility has become more real and the science fiction more
|
|
technically sophisticated. Recently, the cyberpunk movement has
|
|
adopted the idea of "jacking in", sliding "biosoft" chips
|
|
into slots implanted in the skull (Gibson, W. 1984). Although such
|
|
biosofts are still science fiction, there have been several recent
|
|
steps toward interfacing the brain and computers. Chief among these
|
|
are techniques for stimulating and recording from areas of the brain
|
|
with permanently implanted electrodes and using conscious control of
|
|
EEG to control computers. Some preliminary work is being done on
|
|
synapsing neurons on silicon transformers and on growing neurons into
|
|
neural networks on top of computer chips.

Here at the University of Utah there is a bioengineering

|
project which involves direct implantation of stimulating
|
|
electrodes in the visual cortex. I went to a lecture on
|
|
it, and suprisingly the researchers have little or no

awareness of virtual reality, they are interested in

In April, a Franciscan friar, the Rev. Bede Frrara, handed out coupons
|
|
in Somerville, Mass., offering his parishioners "50 percent off" of the
|
|
penance for whatever sins they confess.
|
|
He said he thought his parishioners needed a boost because of economic
|
|
woes in the area and so offered them the opportunity to atone for a sin
|
|
by, for example, doing only 15 Hail Marys instead of 30.

In 1982 while employed at a audio/video/record store in New York City
|
|
I discovered that by staring at a live TV show while in a meditative
|
|
state that I could cause the TV camera lens at the TV studio to glow.
|
|
I worked facing a bank of sets all day long and by experimenting with
|
|
some Zen meditation techniques I discovered that the people on TV were
|
|
reacting to the fluctuations in my mental state. The effect looks like
|
|
a bright spot of light in the camera lens directed at the person.
|
|
|
|
Since 1983 I've been using the effect to wreak havoc in the incipient
|
|
mind of the media/state. I have learned to control the effect so that
|
|
I can induce more eye blinking, more stammering, etc. by changing the
|
|
brightness and location of the spot of light which I cause to appear in
|
|
the broadcasting TV camera.
|
|
|
|
In 1991 I decided to create an experiment which would be verifiable to
|
|
the public at large, so that I might prove the existence of the phenomenon
|
|
to the skeptical community. So, I came up with the Thursday test. Every
|
|
Thursday I illuminate the cameras of the CBS Evening News. Watchers of
|
|
the show can do various things to prove the veracity of my claims. They
|
|
can count the number of times Dan Rather blinks on Thursday as compared
|
|
with Friday or Wednesday. They can measure the reflected luminosity of
|
|

I've been zapping all presidential TV appearances since late 1983. If
|
|
you watch the first 1984 Reagan debate you will notice my efforts. I've
|
|
zapped all of the presidential and vice-presidential debates this year.
|
|
|
|
Millions of people know about this phenomenon and harbor knowledge of it
|
|
through a "cult of secrecy." There is no real conspiracy in the public,
|
|
it is just that people do not tell others of this story unless provoked.
|
|
There have been quite a few pop songs written in homage; these usually use
|
|
innuendo to refer to the phenomenon.
|
|
|
|
My intent on Internet is to inform the public of this process. My intent
|
|
is infinite and immaculate in its beautifully chaotic intentions. Wreaking
|
|
havoc with light. Photonic agents of bliss infiltrating the minds of
|
|
commerce and conspiracy.

Comments on a Tim Leary prediction presentation:
|
|
|
|
"You have to go out of your mind to use your mind," he exclaims at
|
|
one point, and a number of us cheer hopefully, wondering just how much
|
|
"experimenting" he allows himself these days. He sees virtual reality as a
|
|
key breakthrough in consciousness expansion and human communication, and he
|
|
predicts than within two or three years, no one will simply give lectures,
|
|
which appeal only to the so-called "left brain;" they will give full-blown
|
|
multi-media presentations that will appeal to both the logical and the
|
|
creative functions of the brain. *Everyone* will do this, he says; it will
|
|
be *the* way to give seminars. Leary's penchant for prediction has always
|
|
fascinated me. I'm reminded of one of his earlier predictions, that
|
|
reliable life extension techniques would be available during his lifetime.
|
|
These predictions haven't got much time to be fulfilled.

[In the 60's] there was madness in any direction, at any hour ... You
|
|
could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense
|
|
that whatever we were doing was `right', that we were winning ...
|
|
|
|
And that, I think, was the handle -- the sense of inevitable victory
|
|
over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we
|
|
didn't need that. Our energy would simply `prevail'. There was no
|
|
point in fighting -- on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum;
|
|
we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave ....
|
|
|
|
So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in
|
|
Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost
|
|
__see__ the high-water mark -- the place where the wave finally broke and
|
|
rolled back.

Deep Thoughts

|
|
|
When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we'd
|
|
all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us.
|
|
It wasn't until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you go parachuting, and your parachute doesn't open, and your friends are
|
|
all watching you fall, I think a funny gag would be to pretend you were
|
|
swimming.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct
|
|
is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant, and she fell on me.
|
|
Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're a young Mafia gangster out on your first date, I bet it's real
|
|
embarrassing if someone tries to kill you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I wish a robot would get elected president. That way, when he came to town,
|
|
we could all take a shot at him and not feel too bad.
|
|
|
|
|
|
One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my
|
|
little nephew to DisneyLand, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out
|
|
warehouse. "Oh, no," I said, "DisneyLand burned down." He cried and cried,
|
|
but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started
|
|
to drive over to the real DisneyLand, but it was getting pretty late.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is
|
|
"God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to
|
|
tell him is "Probably because of something you did."
|
|
|
|
|
|
He was a cowboy, mister, and he loved the land. He loved it so much he made
|
|
a woman out of dirt and married her. But when he kissed her, she
|
|
disintegrated. Later, at the funeral, when the preacher said, "Dust to dust,"
|
|
some people laughed, and the cowboy shot them. At his hanging, he told the
|
|
others, "I'll be waiting for you in heaven--with a gun."
|
|
|
|
|
|
As I bit into the nectarine, it had a crisp juiciness about it that was very
|
|
pleasurable - until I realized it wasn't a nectarine at all, but A HUMAN HEAD!!
|
|
|
|
|
|
To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and
|
|
the dancers hit each other.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why
|
|
several of us died of tuberculosis.

I think you'll find that many of us in the organized crime

community are increasingly sensitive to environmental and social

issues, and more willing to reach out to those who have

traditionally been excluded from participation.

Of course, no context was given, nor was any indication given whether

the competition was *really* for *actual* quotes, although some of the

other quotes have the ring of reality:

For those of us out here in the trenches, on the front lines, so

to speak, how much makeup to wear to a business meeting can be

crucial.

Other quotes, many of which also have the ring of truth:

MANILA, Philippines (AP) -- Religious cultists convinced that flat tires
|
|
were the key to salvation deflated tires on scores of buses and cars Monday,
|
|
paralyzing traffic throughout the city. Police arrested 32 people.
|
|
Terrified motorists abandoned their vehicles and fled for cover as armed
|
|
police chased the cultists, who swarmed through the stalled traffic deflating
|
|
more tires. Other cultists flagged down buses and then let the air out before
|
|
drivers could stop them.
|
|
The mass deflating, which appeared to have been well planned, began during
|
|
the evening rush hour and created massive traffic jams. Hours later, traffic
|
|
was still at a standstill on major thoroughfares.
|
|
It was unclear what purpose the cultists thought was served by the bizarre
|
|
strategy. When pressed for an explanation, they said only that cult leader
|
|
Alelio Bernaldez Pen told them it was God's will.
|
|
"This is God's order to let out air," said Honora Dimagila, 44, who was
|
|
arrested Monday. "Air is from God. This is the solution to the crisis in our
|
|
country."

That Damn Hundredth Monkey Story Again:
|
|
|
|
"There were these Japanese scientists in the '50s who left potatoes every
|
|
day for these wild monkeys on Koshima Island and then watched what
|
|
they did.
|
|
|
|
One of these monkeys learned to wash the potatoes and began teaching
|
|
this to the others. Then, when a certain number had learned, maybe a
|
|
hundred - scientists call this a 'critical mass' - an amazing thing happened.
|
|
Suddenly, all the monkeys knew how to wash potatoes, even monkeys on
|
|
other islands hundreds of miles away! Scientists consider this to be
|
|
conclusive proof of a telepathic 'group mind'."

I would express Blair's thought somewhat differently:

"Convince enough people of a lie, and it becomes truth."
|
|
I suggest that someone who accepts this view of truth
|
|
is not to be trusted as a source of knowledge. He may, of course,
|
|
be a marvelous source of fantasy, rumor, and pseudoscientific best-sellers.

This was in Ann Landers in today's paper. I thought it was classic:
|
|
|
|
Dear Ann--
|
|
|
|
On April 30 of this year, the LA riots were in full swing.
|
|
I was with a couple of friends and we got carried away with
|
|
all the excitement. One guy suggested that we join the rest
|
|
of the crowd and loot a Korean dry cleaners.
|
|
|
|
The scene was incredible. There were about 20 people grabbing
|
|
as much stuff as they could before the store was set on fire.
|
|
That's when I saw this great leather coat hanging not two yards
|
|
from me. I went to grab it and at the very same moment, ``Wanda''
|
|
reached for it, too.
|
|
|
|
She was beautiful, and she really wanted that coat, so I made
|
|
her a deal. She could have it if she would let me take her to
|
|
dinner.
|
|
|
|
We hit it off right away and I knew that night we were perfect
|
|
for each other. We plan to be married next April.
|
|
|
|
The problem is this: Many out-of-town family members will want
|
|
to know how we met. Should we tell them the truth? Should we lie?
|
|
We aren't convicted criminals. We both work and have no police
|
|
records.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reply to "Pair steal more than each other's hearts":
|
|
|
|
What a charming way to meet people! Here I've been suggesting church
|
|
and temple affairs, volunteer groups and night school classes. You say
|
|
you have no criminal record? Too bad. You SHOULD, because what you
|
|
did was clearly criminal. Do you have any idea how hard those Koreans
|
|
worked to open their shops? Overnight, everything they had was gone,
|
|
thanks to animals like you. As for your question, sorry, pal, I'm
|
|
fresh out of cover stories.

I was making pesto in a blender -- one of the models where the jar
|
|
screws into a metal base which has the blades and bearings built into
|
|
it, and this base then sits on top of the drive unit.
|
|
|
|
Well, the blender was screaming away on high speed when I suddenly
|
|
noticed that the jar was unscrewing itself from the base. I dashed
|
|
across the kitchen and reached for it, just as the whole thing let go.
|
|
The jar toppled off before I could grab it, pesto exploded everywhere,
|
|
and the base flew straight up off the drive unit, blades still spinning,
|
|
right smack into the palm of my outstretched hand.
|
|
|
|
So there I was standing in the kitchen with my hand bleeding copiously
|
|
and a heavy horizontal band of pesto all around the walls of the kitchen
|
|
and across the front of my shirt. I was all alone in my house way out
|
|
in the mountain boonies, but I knew I needed stitches (at least 25
|
|
years later, I still have the scar).
|
|
I wrapped my hand up in a towel and I drove 15 miles of dark mountain
|
|
roads to the emergency room.
|
|
|
|
When I walked into the ER, the almost-a-doctor on duty sized me up, and

In 1992, scientists announced that the overpopulation is on the rise
|
|
in a way much worse than they had earlier surmised. The population of the
|
|
planet is expected to double to 10 billion by 2050.

A man determined to make "America's Funniest Home Videos" dressed up as a

cave man and tried to sit on Santa's lap at a mall only to be arrested for
|
|
tresspassing and indecent exposure.
|
|
|
|
And just to put a capper on to 1992, Todd Bridges from "Different Strokes"
|
|
was arrested for posession of speed and a 9mm pistol.

NEW YORK (UPI) -- The American Civil Liberties Union Wednesday named a
|
|
number of government officials and private individuals, including Oliver
|
|
North and Washington State Gov. Booth Gardner, as ``1992 Arts Censors of
|
|
the Year.''
|
|
|
|
The watchdog organization cited those chosen as having ``shown
|
|
exceptional disregard for the First Amendment values of freedom of
|
|
speech.''
|
|
|
|
``All of the people and groups that we've named today, and many
|
|
others like them, are trying to impose their ideological, moral and
|
|
religious standards on a very diverse population,'' said Marjorie Heins,
|
|
director of the ACLU's Arts Censorship Project.
|
|
|
|
She noted that several of those named as arts censors ``are public
|
|
officials who have used the weight and authority of their offices to
|
|
wage campaigns against musicians, painters, sculptors and writers.''
|
|
|
|
The others, she said, ``are private individuals and pressure groups
|
|
who have advocated censorship in an effort to impose their morality and
|
|
cultural tastes on the rest of society.''
|
|
|
|
Those listed were:
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
-- Anne-Imelda Radice, acting chairwoman of the National Endowment for
|
|
the Arts, ``who stated in testimony before Congress that she would veto
|
|
any grants for sexually explicit art or other projects that deal with
|
|
'difficult subject matter.'''
|
|
|
|
-- The Duval County, Fla., public school district, ``which has
|
|
censored more than 60 books over the years, and which, this past year,
|
|
purged the county's school libraries of titles by Stephen King and
|
|
African-American poet Nikki Giovani, not to mention the classic fairy
|
|
tale 'Snow White' banned because of 'graphic violence.'''
|
|
|
|
-- Omaha, Neb., City Councilman Steve Exon, and members of Omaha for
|
|
Decency, a private organization, ``who together organized a private
|
|
sting operation resulting in prosecutions against four local record
|
|
stores for selling 2 Live Crew's 'Sports Weekend' album to teenagers.''
|
|
|
|
-- The Maryland State Legislature's Frederick County delegation, which
|
|
reversed its plans to seek $500,000 in state funding for a local arts
|
|
center ``after the museum displayed a satiric, anti-Persian Gulf War
|
|
painting.''
|
|
|
|
-- The Washington State Legislature and Gov. Booth Gardner, who passed
|
|
a law imposing a mandatory labeling sytem, with criminal penalties, for
|
|
musical recordings deemed ``erotic'' by a state court.
|
|
|
|
-- Former Marine colonel Oliver North and Florida attorney Jack
|
|
Thompson, ``who led a campaign of harassment against musicians and
|
|
record companies over Ice-T's song 'Cop Killer,' and other music with
|
|
messages they dislike.''
|
|
|
|
-- Legal scholar Catharine MacKinnon and writer Andrea Dworkin, ``for
|
|
drafting and advocating legislation that would allow lawsuits to ban
|
|
sexually oriented entertainment, and to allow victims of sexual crimes
|
|
to collect damages from the producers and distributors of such
|
|
entertainment.''
|
|
|
|
-- The Rev. Donald Wildmon, head of the American Family Association,
|
|
``for a lifetime of disservice to the fundamental values of the Bill of
|
|
Rights in his pursuit of one overarching goal: the restructuring of
|
|
American law to reflect his own moral code.''
