After a meteorite crashed into a remote village in Peru, the villagers all became ill. After the meteorite?s fiery crash, nearby villagers began to complain about smelling a strange odor which led to headaches and vomiting. The policemen who were sent to check out these reports became ill as well. Could some sort of strange bacteria have entered the area on the space rock?

We’ve reported before that women who get breast implants are nearly three times as likely to commit suicide. And what are bras for anyway? Scientific studies show that they do NOT stop breasts from bouncing. But women still need them: In the last 15 years, the average bust size has increased from 34B to 36C.
Researcher Loren Lipworth says that the results of his study on the suicidal results of breast surgery suggest that a “nontrivial proportion of women undergoing breast augmentation may bring with them?or develop later?serious long-term psychiatric morbidity and eventually mortality.”

Astronomers have spotted a star that is about to explode?a supernova. Could this ever happen to OUR sun?
In BBC News, Roland Pease reports that astronomers saw the star “RS Ophiuchi? flare up around 6 months ago, suddenly becoming a thousand times brighter than normal. This could mean that, somewhere in the universe, a world like ours is ending. Pease quotes Harvard scientist Jeno Sokoloski as saying, “The explosion is so energetic it actually lifts an envelope of material off the surface of the star and throws it off into space.”

This week we feature a rarity–an argument. It’s between Whitley Strieber and Daniel Pinchbeck about what the human future is likely to hold. It is the first time that an argument had broken out on Dreamland, but the suggestion that Whitley Strieber is in league with alien presences that don’t have the best interests of the human species at heart lit Mr. Strieber’s fuse, big time. For us, the result is an intense and revealing discussion as Pinchbeck accuses Strieber of encouraging disaster by having a ‘negative’ view of the future and Strieber accuses Pinchbeck of preferring a fantasy that seeks to ignore the laws of nature.
