FURY FROM THE DEEP


 FURY FROM THE DEEP.   Written by Victor Pemberton.   6 episodes.
                       16th March - 20th April 1968.
                     
 COMPANIONS:- Jamie and Victoria.

   The TARDIS lands on a gas rig in the North Sea which is experiencing
 some kind of sabotage. The refinery boss, Robson, blames them for the
 disappearances of his rig crews and leaks and pressure build ups. The Doctor
 can hear a strange heartbeat in the pipes but Robson refuses to stop the
 gas flow.
   The riggers have penetrated a deep stratum, releasing a weed parasite
 which absorbs humans or ingests their brains, turning them into creatures
 which are half man, half weed.
   The weed attacks the refinery but when Victoria kills one with a scream,
 the Doctor realises that amplified sound can be used as a weapon. Having
 killed all of the creatures, the Doctor is ready to leave but Victoria
 wants to stay behind.
   This story is another "lost" classic available from BBC Audio

Evidence supporting quantum information processing in animals

              Evidence supporting quantum            information processing in animals                    James A. Donald                    1068 Fulton Av                    Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1505                    USA I show that quantum systems can rapidly solve some problems for which finite state machines require a non- polynomially large time. This class of problems is closely related to the class of problems that animals can solve rapidly and effortlessly, but are intractable for computers by all known algorithms. 1. Introduction      Animals, including very simple animals, can rapidly and effortlessly perceive objects, whereas computers take nonpolynomial time to do this by all...

ARMIES OF CHAOS

                          ARMIES OF CHAOS -      Before anyone proposes more gun control, he or she should know  about a simple, deadly weapon 4 times as powerful as Dirty Harry's  legendary .44 Magnum -- and at least twice as concealable -- that  _can't_ controlled.        This simple, deadly weapon can be made by anyone -- even a  child -- with unpowered hand tools in an hour's time using $5 worth  of materials, most of which are available around the house anyway.   In traditional form it's reusable an unlimited number of times, and  modern plastics have rendered its disposable version electronically  undetectable.  You can clear a room with such a weapon (more of a  hand-held directional grenade than a gun -- sort of a recycleable  Claymore mine) and it's just one of hundreds of similar time-proven  designs. ...
