| Thursday Jul 1, 2004 | Because humans and chimpanzees share roughly 99% of their DNA (this number is in question), it is believed by some that these two species can crossbreed. The resulting theoretical hybrid would be called a humanzee. There are rumors of humanzees, but no hard evidence. In the 70's and 80's, a unique chimpanzee named Oliver was believed to be a humanzee: he preferred to walk completely upright, drink and smoke, had an odd smell that was considered neither human nor chimpanzee, lack of hair on his head and humanlike facial features. A recent test shows that he is genetically a chimpanzee, and is either a new subspecies or a random mutation. And so, while Oliver enjoys the golden years of his life, the search for the humanzee -- and its ethical ramifications -- continues.

That's all well and good, but before you equip your hole with internet access and then put pictures on the web, be sure you've got enough bandwidth to handle it. Even then, sometimes demand exceeds expectations. For these cases there is bittorrent. to Internet by fool |

| Tuesday Jun 22, 2004 | In a classic David and Goliath confrontation, Irdial-Discs, experimental
independent music label from the UK, brought a High Court action against WEA
International over their CD release "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" by the group Wilco,
which flagrantly infringes Irdial's copyright.
"Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" bears a track entitled "Poor Places", which contains one
minute and thirty seconds of sound from "Phonetic Alphabet Nato" lifted directly
from disc one of the quadruple CD "The Conet Project: Recordings of Shortwave
Numbers Stations". The Conet Project track features a female voice repeating
over and over the phrase, "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot", which Wilco took for the title
of their critically acclaimed CD.

| Andrew Clay Silverstein called himself the "Diceman", but he wasn't the original. That honor belongs to George Cockcroft who, under the pseudonym Luke Rhinehart, wrote the 1970 novel The Dice Man. It's a fictional account of the life of a New York psychiatrist, also named Luke Rhinehart, who suddenly chooses to shake up his staid, prosaic life by giving over all his decisions to the literal roll of the die. The book was based on the author's real experiences of living randomly beginning in his teenage years, and it sparked a movement that continues today in various serious and not-so-serious forms. to Culture by yoyology |
