Every time Congress designates a dump site for radioactive material in the U.S., the local NIMBY group says, “Not in My Back Yard.” There’s not only the problem of storing dangerous waste underground, where it will remain active for thousands of years, but the issue of transporting it over city streets and highways to reach the dump site. Also, there?s the question of whether radioactivity will pollute the underground water table, sending dangerous drinking water to nearby suburbs and cities. But there’s one place we can take our trash where none of this will be a problem?the moon.

Before his death, the Palestinian terrorist Abu Nidal claimed his Fatah Revolutionary Council was responsible for the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland that killed 270 people. Abu Nidal was killed on August 15 in Iraq, after he refused a demand by Saddam Hussein to help train al-Qaeda agents. Atef Abu Bakr, Nidal’s closest aide from 1985 until 1989, says, “Abu Nidal said during an inner-circle meeting of the leadership of the revolutionary council: ‘I have very important and serious things to say. The reports that attribute Lockerbie to others are lies. We are behind it. If any one of you lets this out, I will kill him even if he is in his wife’s arms.'”

Bill Hamilton of Skywatch International looks at the possibility that military satellites are using lasers to produce crop circles. He explains Shimmer: “The result of?atmospheric turbulence, air density, light refraction, cloud cover, and wind” and tells how it would effect a laser being beamed from space. Hamilton says, “The power density required at the target site has to be precise so as not to ignite a dry crop and yet penetrate the atmosphere. Even by penetrating the atmosphere and attenuating below ignition temperatures, how is the beam focused on the lower point of stalks?” To read his viewpoint about this possibility,click here.

Families don?t like the way each other smells, according to researchers, who say this may be nature’s way of discouraging incest. Scientists at Wayne State University in Detroit tested family members to see if they could recognize one other by their smell. They studied 25 families with children between ages 6 and 15, and gave them T-shirts to sleep in and odorless soap to wash with. They were told to keep the shirts in plastic bags and were later asked to sniff two T-shirts, one worn by a family member and another worn by a stranger.
