CAPITOL'S SKINNY PUPPY ARRESTED IN AN ALLEGED VIVISECTION MISHAP


                   CAPITOL'S SKINNY PUPPY ARRESTED IN AN
                        ALLEGED VIVISECTION MISHAP

Nettwerk/Capitol Records artists SKINNY PUPPY were arrested Sunday, October
23, following their show in Cincinnati, Ohio.  Arrested for disorderly
conduct following a misunderstanding about a portion of their live
performance intended to protest animal vivisection, the band had to spend
the night in jail but were released the following day.

Currently on the Head Trauma Tour in support of their recently released LP
VIVIsectVI, SKINNY PUPPY simulates an "operation" on a toy stuffed animal
named "Chud" as part of the show, graphically symbolizing the horrors of
vivisection research.  Apparently an audience member mistook "Chud" for a
real dog and called the police.

Without identifying themselves, two plain-clothed police officers entered
their dressing room after the show demanding to see the dog.  Words were
exchanged between SKINNY PUPPY and the officers.  As a result, bandmembers
Ogre, Cevin Key, and the tour manager Dan McGee were arrested for
disorderly conduct.  They were released after their night in jail and fined
$200.00.

Bandmember Ogre issued a statement about the incident, "I find it
paradoxical that the police can justify arresting us on the assumption that
we mutilate and experiment on live animals for a theatrical performance
when the inhuman reality is that it occurs in over 300 laboratories a day."

SKINNY PUPPY has long been outspoken about protesting the use of animals
for research and, in fact, chose their name to emphasize their feelings
about the issue.

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. ...
