It's my opinion that for the past few days this mailinglist has been
going through a dry spell in terms of scitech subjects. Stick around,
it'll get better. It always does. You'll soon be invited into the
exciting world of:

<bold>Cryonics</bold> (freezing your brain to be reanimated in the
future)

<bold>Nanotechnology</bold> (microscopic robots repair cellular damage
and can construct any physical structure you want)

<bold>Memetics</bold> (ideas that replicate like viruses)

<bold>Brain Uploading</bold> (uploading the brain to a computer)

In the meantime checkout my Ethereal Outlook website at
"http://home.earthlink.net/~bholat/neoreal" and BE SURE to checkout the
link to Anders Sandberg's incredible website!
