    genetics (i think i have a good idea)

    GG You're right ! like I said it's called gene transfer technology, and while it is not perfected, it is quite close. Give it a few more years. My guess is that you will be able to change such things as eye color and hair (or lack thereof) fairly easily, but other things may be a bit more...

    Surprise fed meeting?

    And for all you oblivious ones that are pumping nuke power ... no problem. You sign a contract saying EACH person using nuke power stores their share of nuclear waste in their OWN backyard (or the backyards of their children and parents) and we can go right ahead. And your answer is ...

    Surprise fed meeting?

    The big talk among the gold and currency guys is that someone, somewhere is repatriating huge sums of money to cover their ass. As far as I can see it is the best explanation for the precipitous drop in both AU and the Euro yesterday AT THE SAME TIME the SM was tanking. Gold dropped $ 7...

    I see Bush gunning for Iraq no later than October 1 ... French Intelligence think the most likely timing is during Bush's August vacation at the ranch. I think he'll wait till September ... first because it will dovetail nicely with the 911 'celebrations' and second because he needs a nice...

    Best or Worst Trades Ever

    In late '99 I was trading gold futures calls. I went for a walk and the gold price spiked $ 17 + in 30 minutes then back down again. My account went up $ 400,000 and then back down again. And I compounded that mistake by procrastinating again and again (hoping) and ended up with a small loss...
