My o' my o' my,... addressing the issues at hand, we at the Santa Cruz 25th HOURclench would like to offer these corrections:
1) My commrade, the Rev. Gristle, is slightly wrong in his calculations
concerning nuclear attacks and Power Domes~ in relation to Santa Cruz. In fact,Santa Cruz has been the target of many attacks, both terrestrial and extra-
terrestrial. Unfortunately the Power Domes~ provided by the church have run thelimit of their warranty.... But luckily for us, we have consistantly evaded the 99% of harmful mutations due to the
rradiation, and tapped into the 1% of
beneficial mutations!!!...more on this later...
2) I'm sure we (meaning those affiliated with the Choich') can come
up with something vastly more effective than the "Tor-not-like-you-hit-you-
with-big-stick" style of nuclear weapons... What about an ingenius, or rather,
subgenius, series of anti-grav generators that could be used to immobilize
entire armies?...I know, I know, its been done before BUT on some other planets
it HAS proven to be efficient... here at the 25th HOUR LABS we are developing
an expanding mayonaisse OBLIT-O-SPHERE... but more on that later...
3) You'd think that with the human mind being able to develope a
nuclear weapon that can fit in a 10 gallon oil drum, they'd be able to develope
a decaf-coffee that I'd like.... to also have in a 10 gallon drum.

Dear Fellow SubGenii,
If watching a couple of guys get a large, heavy, home appliance dropped
on them sounds like your kind of fun (and if you're reading this Digest,
it oughta be!) then you really should catch Penn & Teller -- "The
Refrigerator Tour" when it comes to your town.
It just opened last night in Boston, and a number of the local Revs were
there for the occasion. Kevin Kelly of the Boston Globe says that P&T
are "cool, plenty cool" but don't let that stop you.
Any act that features verbal abuse, a threatened duck, a stolen Bible
("the absolute Word of God... or pernicious nonsense?"), a bear trap,
dental floss, a little stage blood, and a decapitated psychic gorilla is
certainly worth checking out.
This is precisely the kind of entertainment I was expecting would
precede the End of Times. Keep an eye out for them.

RFC 822 mailers can do a "Re-Send" which leaves all the original headers
intact, but adds a "Resent-From:", "Resent-To:", and "Resent-Date:".
The Andrew mail system lets you do this very easily. It IS in RFC 822.
Apparently the digestifier at MIT used for the SubGenius list strips off
all the "Resent" headers, thereby erasing all evidence of who did the
re-send. Thus it looks as if the original poster sent the message to the
subg list, even though they may never have heard of it.
The solution is for someone to fix the digestifier so it does not strip
out the ReSent headers. Then the person who did you the favor of
re-sending your message would be listed in the headers.

Subject: Nuke Dust (Pixie dust?)
Indeed, I figure that one of the strange suprizes that may await in a
ground battle in Iraq is that they might take some of the nuke
material that they have, grind it into dust, and then rig a Scud to
airburst (this would work even if the Scud were intercepted).
On a lighter note, wouldn't it be great if this Saddam character were
to be found dead in his sealed bunker, with a pipe shoved up his ass?

>From Spy's March 1991 issue, about trend tracking firms:
Another trend book, published last year by a small French trend shop called
Eclat, dissects the resurgent popularity of the Three Stooges among college
students: "Mo's [sic] angry question, which always preceds one of his violent
episodes, is the question of all existentialist men demanding meaning from a
void, `Hmmm, a wise guy, huh?' The only response - from the void that is
Curly - is the tragic `Nyuck! Nyuck! Nyuck!'" In the same book, Bart Simpson
is described as a "tiny parti-colored speck of rebellion, a Bogartian symbol
of integrity."

And the neat thing is, once I myself did a re-send to the subg list. to
my surprise, it came out on the digest with no trace that it had been
from me.
So I owned up by sending a followup saying "Sorry, I resent this message".
And people answered me, why am I so resentful, what have I got against
the author, etc........

Subject: What to do with spare plutonium
If you've got 12-20 pounds of plutonium (no mean feat, I'll admit) and
don't have the technology for a thermonuclear device, why not just build
a radiological bomb? Prepare the plutonium as a very fine *dust* and
detonate at a height of maybe a 1/2-mile or a mile above a big city, or
better, over a concentration of the wealthier "bedroom community"
suburbs of that big city. This, it seems, would yield a much bigger
buck for your bang, so to speak.
Actually, it's much easier than that -- plutonium burns wonderfully.
Just build a big bonfire, and toss it in!

Hey there...can any of you Revved-up ones help me with a question? What
exactly is the legal status of us SubGenii Sales Priests? LIke, can we
perform legal marriages if we really really wanted to? And can we file for
CO status and actually have it be helpful? Just a meaningless question...
