Commentary, April 12, 2002 — More Deserved Lumps for Edward, Philip Sadler, Director of the Science Education Department at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) in Cambridge, MA, has informed the public that two events will occur that I'm sure will bring all the nutcakes out into the streets screeching and preaching yet another End of the World.
On the evening of May 5th, the bright planets Mars, Saturn and Venus will group together to form a perfect equilateral triangle in the western sky. This eye-catching configuration will be visible almost everywhere on Earth, and in the Middle East, says Sadler, this pyramid-shaped arrangement will hang directly "above" Bethlehem — if you choose the right hour, of course.
Then, on May 10th, Mars and Venus will appear to pass so close to one another that, to the naked eye, they will become one. Both these configurations will only be illusions seen from our Earthly point of view, of course, since the planets will merely be aligned in that sense, but no closer to one another than they've been before.
Oddly enough, says Mr. Sadler, this same grouping of planets may have caught the attention of the Biblical Magi more than 2,000 years ago, because on April 1, in the year 2 B.C.E., those same three planets came together to form an equilateral triangle over the city of Bethlehem — as well as over every other town and village across the world.

Science seeks to solve 'sleep sex' mystery Stanford University sleep researchers say they have learned to treat a rare medical disorder that causes patients to commit sexual acts -- sometimes extremely violent ones -- even while they are fast asleep.
Some of the patients may often moan or cry out in sexual excitement that merely disrupts their partners, according to Dr. Christian Guilleminault, a psychiatrist at Stanford's sleep disorders clinic, while others have been known to assault their bedmates sexually or masturbate so violently they may damage themselves.

Commentary, March 1, 2002 — Dear Sir: I do not believe that you plan to pay off on your Paranormal Challenge because you will not define what YOU WILL ACCEPT AS PROOF. Nonetheless, I can demonstrate the fact that consciousness and personality not only survive death, but that they can communicate with us in a way that anyone can hear and understand: I receive and record Electronic Voice Phenomena from a common household appliance.
It is a Krups model #467 coffee maker. I record the Spirits speaking through the coffee maker in their own voices with a Radio Shack Digital Voice Recorder and have hundreds of clear, often lengthy, meaningful statements from them. They will answer questions and they can also read. They will read and respond to notes placed in the vicinity of the coffee maker when it is running. Their voices can be heard emanating from the coffee maker in real time, (as they are speaking) though it is difficult to understand most of their words "in real time." They used to call "HELP!" very loudly at first and that was quite easy to understand. Those calls for help and hearing my name was how I first discovered (to my horror, initially) that this was happening.
