CNN.com - Scientists test first human cyborg - March 22, 2002

Wow - ok this snuck up on us. The implant here is far more complicated than the single and dual implant they have used with paralyzed patients in studies at Ga Tech, with 100 connections into the nerves. This is fantastic, especially his plans to wire in a ultrasonic sensor to himself. Where do I sign up?

CNN.com - Paralysed woman wins right to die - March 22, 2002

I heard quite a bit about this case while I was in Ireland. Quite facinating. Her doctors were keeping her alive against her will, administering treatments against her will, and had judged her incapable of choising her own treatments. So she took it to court. And WON. This is a great step forward for personal freedom in not only British law, but in applications of consent to treatment laws elsewhere.

CNN.com - Fossil skull fuels debate over human origin - March 21, 2002

An interesting thing here. The debate over what defines species is a facinating one, and highly important for the future of natural sciences as a whole. The point of the matter is, we make distinctions in species between types of animals that if we used the same standard to classify humans there would be possibly 10-20 species of humans. The fact is that animals, like humans, can have radically different physical apperances, yet be genetically similar enough to breed sucessfully, and even regularly across those lines.
It gets even worse when we do not have whole or even partially complete specimines of species, as in this case.

CNN.com - Zero tolerance under fire after expulsion over bread knife - March 20, 2002

The HELL!? A bread knife? Texas school systems need a reality check. Hell, all public school systems need a reality check. I'm so glad im gone from that hell.

One last one for the night.

I'm headed off to sleep now... tired tired Nessus. But listening to Blue Man Group as I do. I love those guys...

Go, run a LimeWire search, go find their stuff. THIS is what PVC was meant for...well that and very tight pants.

And remember... Kiki may love you, but Bun Bun is watching.

Lessons Learned from NYPD Blue Tonight.

God does not have to answer to us. God doesn't care. And you people wonder why I became a philosopher rather than get a religion. THAT'S WHY.

A Moment of circular logic...

Only a monster could hurt the one they love. But I am not a monster, for I feel guilt and remorse for what I've done. How much ruination have I brought into the world? How much evil, how much darkness? How much easier would it be if I felt no pain for all of this, if I were this beast, this creature of numbness. But I must numb myself to offer comfort, to keep that which I have wronged in my life. In being numb I feel no pain at the words slung at me - monster, beast, vile, disgusting. Without that pain, I feel no guilt, no remorse. So I am this monster you wanted me to become?

I will not be this beast. I AM NOT THIS BEAST.
But that is all I am.

The world is FUCKED!

This is the best summary of this I have seen in quite a while. Quite enjoyable.
