On Monday, October 21, we asked “Do you think we should go to war with Iraq?” The possible answers were: “Yes, even if we don’t have UN support,” “Yes, but only with UN support,” and “No.”

These are the results: 28.86% of you voted “Yes, even if we don’t have UN support.” About half that number (13.43%) voted “Yes, but only with UN Support.” 57.71% voted “No”?that?s twice as many as in the first category.

Do our readers represent the views of the American public? Maybe?it?s interesting to note that the Bush government has pulled back on their threats to invade Iraq recently, as if they sensed opposition in the air.

Our new poll is simple?we just want to know your age so we can pick new stories and books you?ll like,click here.

Scientist have found a way to keep slices of living brain tissue alive for weeks and use them to test drugs for neurological and psychiatric disorders. This sounds like something out of an old science fiction movie, where a decapitated human head was kept alive with wires coming out of it, but the “mini-brain” is much sleeker than that. It consists of a glass chip containing tens of thousands of interconnected living brain cells suspended in a solution of artificial brain fluid. To test a drug’s effect on the tissue, 64 electrodes on the chip’s surface monitor the electrical activity of the brain tissue. Right now, the “brain on a chip? uses brain tissue from mice or rats.

The number of people with autism being served by the California Department of Developmental Services increased by 273% from 1987 to 1998, and is still growing by about nine cases per day. That increase cannot be explained away by better data, improved diagnosis, or immigration.

It’s long been known that UFOs were studied for many years by the Russian Academy of Sciences and other Soviet institutions. During the past few years, lots of allegedly classified Russian documents have appeared on the Internet, but experts says most of these are bogus. But the real documents must exist somewhere.

One case that?s known about concerns a Strategic Missile Troops colonel who investigated a UFO landing near a children’s camp, where two humanoids were observed conducting tests. Somewhere, a document also exists confirming a UFO landing in a village in the Russia?s Sverdlovsk region, where contacts were established between the extraterrestrials and the villagers.
