| It's been alleged that the U. S. military practiced germ warfare during the Korean War. The Brits' "anthrax island" is a testament to their own research into biologic weaponry. So, it's reassuring, then, to know that we both signed the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention in 1972, banning such research and putting it in our misguided past, right? Wrong -- the U. S. military is proposing the development of new biologic weaponry for use by Special Forces. Perhaps it's time to heed the call for weapons inspections of the United States. to Warfare by crikey |

| This past week in Washington, the U.S. Navy announced it would name CVN-77, the tenth and last Nimitz-class
nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to be built, after George H.W. Bush, the 41st President of the United States, decorated naval aviator, one-time CIA director, Commander-in-Chief during Operation Just Cause, the invasion of Panama, and Operation Desert Storm, and alleged war criminal. Meanwhile, in Oslo, Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States, one-time peanut farmer, and architect of the Camp David Peace Accords, the SALT II nuclear weapons control treaty, and the Panama Canal Treaty, accepted the 2002 Nobel Peace Prize, 'for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development.'

| Remix relays are albums in which each successive track is a remix of the previous. But what of the first track, of what is it a remix? Well in the case of Endlessnessism the first track was freshly minted. However in the case of Chinese Whispers the inital relayer was given mysterious DATs of samples composed anonymously by Stereolab. As an interesting twist, Stereolab also remixed the final leg of the race. to Music by fool |

| TransOrbital, Inc. recently became the first company to announce it was sending junk to the moon, presumably as a precursor to future corporate ventures. Though states are banned from laying claims on the moon, corporations are not. You might want to check out some unsullied images of the moon (provided by the Clementine satellite) before it's too late. Will anyone write poetry about the moon when it's covered with Taco Bell ads? to Transportation by crikey |

| When I was a kid, our next-door neighbor had a male dog who always tried to mount Charlie, our English Sheepdog, so recent announcements of research on gay sheep weren't much of a surprise to me. It turns out that there is a lot of good information about homosexuality in animals, including primates, penguins, vultures, and possibly turtles. Of course, like anyone else, gay animals have their champions and detractors. to Sex by yoyology |
