Hallowe'en (All Hallows' Eve) was once the Eve of Samahin, named for the Aryan Lord of Death, Samana, and the Grim Reaper. The fracture of space and time when the seasons changed was supposed to allow contact between the worlds of the dead and the living. The dead might reappear and the living disappears. The tawdry trappings of plastic skeletons and witches' hats are a continuation of this solemn festival. It was customary to practice divination, reading the future with witches' mirrors and nutshell ashes. Girls might see their future husbands by peeling an apple before a mirror. |

The UK is Europe's largest user of animals for experiments (2.6 million animals used in 2.7 million experiments in the UK in 2000; 1.83 million used in Germany and 655,217 used in Belgium). There was also a 5% increase in experiments with no anesthetic, resulting in 60% of the total number of procedures not using anesthetic. _____________________________________________________________ “Man Boobs” may be caused by milk and dairy consumption. Each sip of milk contains estrogen and progesterone, hormones that offer feminizing influences to those who drink body fluids from lactating bovines. Cows are milked before they birth calves.

According to the Justice Department, one in two rape victims are under age 18; one in six are under age 12. _____________________________________________________________ Women who sit on men's laps on buses or trains in Seattle, Washington without placing a pillow between them face an automatic six-month jail term.

Tropical rain forests provide between 25% and 40% of all pharmaceutical products. Three thousand plants have anticancer properties; of these 70% inhabit the rainforests. 80 percent of major rainforest valleys on the coast of BC have been degraded or destroyed by logging.

If man-made mega deaths account for 185 million of them, then one out of every 22 (or 4.5%) human deaths during the 20th Century have been caused by fellow humans. There were 8.5 million murders worldwide, 1900-1999 44,000 - 98,000 Americans die unnecessarily every year from medical mistakes made by health care professionals. _____________________________________________________________ The average human gut (everything between the mouth and the other end) is home to a vast community of perhaps 100 trillion bacteria of 500 to 1000 different species. _____________________________________________________________ It takes ninety eight tons (88,000 kg) of prehistoric buried plant material to produce each U.S. gallon (3.9 liters) of gasoline.

Getting a natural seed will soon be almost impossible) No long-term tests have been done to ensure genetically modified foods are safe to eat, but the companies behind the technology, who include Monsanto, makers of toxic PCBs and Agent Orange; Dupont, makers of weapons-grade plutonium, leaded gasoline and CFCs; and Dow Chemical, makers of napalm and silicone breast implants; insist that they’re safe. _____________________________________________________________ In 2000, 46.5 percent of the 1,579,566 total arrests in the USA for drug abuse violations were for marijuana -- a total of 734,497.

Florida and North Dakota have the smallest number of earthquakes in the United States. The average rate of motion across the San Andreas Fault Zone during the past 3 million years is 56 mm/yr (2 in/yr). This is about the same rate at which your fingernails grow. _____________________________________________________________ Alaska is the most earthquake-prone state and one of the most seismically active regions in the world. Alaska experiences a magnitude 7 earthquake almost every year, and a magnitude 8 or greater earthquake on average every 14 years At the Taylor Man Trail in Texas, are the footprints of a human being, mixed with and sometimes crossing the dinosaur footprint paths. History teaches us that dinosaurs became extinct about 65 million years ago, and that humans did not appear until a long time afterward. But these prints were obviously made at the same time, which is a big contradiction of standard accepted models of the Earths history of life. _____________________________________________________________ Males, on average, think about sex every 7 seconds. There are to date, over 25 different recognized STD’s. Herpes affects 1 in 9 people in Britain. Last year 10,407 women contracted it, it is most common in those aged between 20 and 24.

The new planet has a roller coaster like orbit that swoops down close to its central star and then swings far out into frigid fringes, following a strange egg-shaped orbit that is unlike that of any other known planet. _____________________________________________________________ On July 8, 1947, witnesses claim a spaceship with five aliens aboard crashed on a sheep-and-cattle ranch outside Roswell, New Mexico, an incident they say has been covered up by the military. _____________________________________________________________
