Re:Consistency?Perhaps Sir Roger Penrose, author of The Emperor's New Mind, will sue Disney.
It wouldn't suprise me if he did. He's into litigation. Penrose once sued Kimberly-Clark because they used something that looked like Penrose tiling as a pattern on Kleenex Quilted Toilet Paper.

I found this with a little searching...
Makes the whole pyramid thing even MORE enigmatic:
Coral Castle
Essentially, it is now a "tourist" attraction that was built from 1920-1940 by a single man, who was 5 feet tall and weighed 100 pounds, who had a 4th grade education, with hand tools. No one knows exactly why he built it, though he alluded it was for his "Sweet Sixteen", though that explanation is of dubious value.
He built it during nighttime, alone - and moved it once mid-construction. The blocks/sculptures are made of coral, and the largest weighs 30 tons! Absolutely NO ONE knows how he did it, though he claims he knew the methods of the Egyptians. Some teenage boys who witnessed a portion of the contruction (and who appear to be the only individuals to do so), said he floated the blocks around like "hydrogen balloons". He apparently took the secret of the construction to his grave.
Here is something relatively modern that we can relate to - yet just as enigmatic. Is it a grand hoax? Has anyone visited this site? Reading about this has me boggled!
I support the EFF - do you? -

Re:Please Learn to Use Encryption
I couldn't agree with you more on this, and if you hadn't submitted that quote from Phil Zimmerman, I would have, because it was the first thing to come to mind.
I can't believe that my most paranoid friend, a total free-thinker who wouldn't buy into government lines, who often informs me about things like Project MKULTRA, etc... STILL won't use PGP because although he made a public key for himself once, it expired, and he just couldn't be bothered to make a new one!
It's actually almost surreal, because most of the time he's sure that no matter how insignificant his communications are, they're being monitored by something. (Eschelon, Carnivore, some random kid with a packet sniffer, etc...) -
I would tell, but government will kill me.
The truth about gravity is very interesting. However, my knowledge cannot be passed on to you because my life holds greater value than the dissemination of this info (from my point of view). I apologize for my selfishness, but must point out that this what society has taught me.

Re:Groom Lake no longer used...
According to this article rumors of its demise have been greatly exagerrated.

Re:Cool....
Any URLs?
Here you are.
One quote:
The airborne amphibian reportedly "looked comfortable" while under the influence of the magnetic field, and seems to have emerged from the experiment fully intact. "It went back to its fellow frogs looking perfectly happy,"

Re:illegal drug tracking?
We would hope not, but I think there is reliable evidence to the contrary. The CIA was exporting cocaine and distributing it down thru the various levels of dealers to fund their covert actions in South & Central America for the past 30 years. The distributers and dealers were mostly protected leaving the users to fend for themselves in the "war" on drugs.
It is very likely that most drug dealers and users are very well tracked and could have this information used against them if it was necessary to put them away for awhile, e.g. the case against Dewayne Holmes.
For more info read Dark Alliance by Gary Webb or some essays by Michael Parenti and others on the misguided efforts of the drug war.
