                                                         [ dated 6th May 1992 ]


>From The New Musical Express, dated 9 May 1992  [ 40th Birthday Issue ]


 "                             Super Barrio Brothers

   The KLF have announced a temporary "departure from the music business",
   in the wake of rumours that  the  band  is to be permanently dissolved.
   The controversial duo,  last  seen performing with Extreme Noise Terror
   at the BPI awards,  offered  the  following  statement  to NME : "Jimmy
   Cauty and Bill Drummond  left  for  Mexico City  on May 5 to research a
   non-music project,  the  nature  of  which  is  yet  to  be disclosed."
   Drummond and Cauty  are  reportedly  "worn out"  after  producing 6 hit
   singles and the Number One  "White Room"  LP  over  the last 18 months.
   Despite the fact the duo are  renowned  in the music industry for their
   bizarre publicity stunts, the  band's  spokesperson continued to insist
   that "nothing sinister is afoot", as NME went to press.
   However,  insiders  are  conviced  that  Drummond and Cauty,  who  have
   previously released material  as  the  Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu, The
   Timelords and The JAMS,  are  likely  to  end their term as The KLF and
   return after their sabbatical in Mexico under and entirely new guise. "


  Well, I am afraid that's all I know.  I can't confirm or deny any of this.
  I shall however be attempting to contact KLF Communications (if there is
  anyone there) in the next two days, to see if I can learn any more.  My
  immediate reaction to this is to not take it too seriously - The KLF have
  made many promises and statements in their time, and it is a very large
  proportion of these that turn out to be hopelessly wrong.  I think that
  fact that they have both gone to Mexico (apparently) shows that there is
  still a commitment, although to what, I cannot say :) .  This certainly
  isn't the last of the duo.......


  More news when I have it.

Postscript :

   Ironically, in the same issue of The NME, from US News :

   " The KLF will be pleased to learn that the Mississippi State legislature
     has approved the renaming of a 13-mile stretch of motorway in honour of
     country singer Tammy Wynette. "

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 known algorithms [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. Our persistent inability to emulate perception gives reason to doubt the current paradigm and to look for an alternative paradigm.      Penrose[7] and many others [8, 9, 10] argue from practical considerations, Godel's theorem, and

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.        Complete instructions for building this simple, deadly weapon  could be given in half the space I'm using here and not require a  single illustrat
