Sheepish Researchers

I find it rather odd that scientists would cremate an experimental animal, regardless of state of decomposition.

Mystery shrouds cloned sheep death

"Australia's first cloned sheep, Matilda, has died unexpectedly of unknown causes, scientists said. An autopsy failed to find any reason for the merino ewe's abrupt death last Saturday, Rob Lewis, director of the South Australian Research and Development institute, said. The cremation of the carcass triggered criticism among opponents of cloning, who said that there would be no further opportunity to determine what killed Matilda."

Butt Is It Protest?

A while back I called attention to some silly protesting going in in the form of nude women. Well it seems the guys got their turn. I still don’t understand what nudity has to do with peace. Maybe they hoped enough ugly people showed that Bush and his cronies would see them and say, "For Pete’s sake, please put some clothes on! I promise to not got to war if you’ll just cover those hideous bodies!"

"EDS NOTE NUDITY: A group of bicycle enthusiasts stage a naked protest against war by making a peace symbol with their bikes and their bodies at Sunset Beach in Vancouver, Sunday Feb. 23, 2003."

Telemarketers = Evil

It’s a good thing Pennsylvania has the Do Not Call list. This kind of !@#$ drives me nuts. Why would I want to buy something that’s being sold by someone I didn’t want to talk to in the first place?!?

New Telemarketing Tool Trumps TeleZapper
By JIM KRANE

“A telemarketing tool that penetrates home privacy defenses is upping the ante in a technology battle between sales callers and consumers seeking shelter from unsolicited calls. Castel Inc., a maker of automated dialing technology, boasts that its DirectQuest software is immune to the TeleZapper, a $40 gadget designed to thwart sales calls by faking the tones of a disconnected number.”

Let The Misinformation Begin

This is comforting.

Feds pull suspicious .gov site

“WASHINGTON–In a move that raises questions about the security of governmental domains, the Bush administration has pulled the plug on a .gov Web site pending an investigation into the authenticity of the organization that controlled it.”

Powerful New U.S. Intelligence Service (AONN DSI)

I happened to notice your AONN post when researching programs related to highly secret government intelligence operations/ programs and trained government assassins. I did some digging, made some phone calls, conducted some research and discovered some very fascinating facts. AONN under a secret Department of Defense/ Pentagon charter in connection with the Central Intelligence Agency Law Enforcement Group (yes, believe it or not, the CIA has a law enforcement arm/ aspect/ network (even though it is not part of the CIA charter, per se).

Are They Nuts?!?

Zap!
Scientist bombards brains with super-magnets to edifying effect
By Carey Goldberg

“Just by pointing his super-magnets at the right spots on your head, Dr. Alvaro Pascual-Leone can make you go momentarily mute or blind.He can disrupt your working memory or your ability to recognize faces. He can even make it harder for you to say verbs while nouns remain as easy as ever. Weird, yes. Fringe, no. “

Who in their right mind would let someone scramble their thoughts with a magnet?!? I feel like Bones decrying the dangers of transporters. The technology has great potential, but is it safe?
