³TWO MEN SAY THEY ARE BEHIND MYSTERIOUS "CORN CIRCLES" IN    ³

³BRITAIN NOT ALIENS                                          ³

³                                                            ³

³LONDON (SEPT. 9) UPI - The baffling appearance of dozens of ³

³circles and other shapes in British grain fields may have   ³

³been solved Monday when two men said they, not              ³

³extraterrestial beings or freak meteorological forces,      ³

³created the patterns.                                       ³

³                                                            ³

³The declaration of the hoax, itself still unsubstantiated,  ³

³has brought forth yet another theory to be considered by    ³

³scientists and enthusiasts who have been studying the       ³

³mysterious phenomenon for more than a decade.               ³

³                                                            ³

³The shapes, known locally as ''corn circles,'' have appeared³

³overnight in fields, usually in southern England, without   ³

³any obvious sign of human handiwork. They have been         ³

³attributed variously to aliens, mating hedgehogs and        ³

³swirling masses of electrically charged air.                ³

³                                                            ³

³Doug Bower and David Chorley told the newspaper Today that  ³

³they used two wooden boards, a rope and a primitive aligning³

³device attached to a baseball cap to lay out the huge       ³

³patterns. They said they eluded detection by walking in     ³

³tractor paths to enter and leave the fields.                ³

³                                                            ³

³''How on earth can intelligent people of that sort -        ³

³professors etc. - just walk into a corn (wheat) field and   ³

³see some flattened corn and make all this out it over the   ³

³years?'' Bower told Independent Television News. ''We're as ³

³astounded as anyone else.''                                 ³

³                                                            ³

³Some scientists who have studied the mystery remain         ³

³sceptical of the Bower and Chorley's claims.                ³

³                                                            ³

³''I'm waiting for some hard evidence. I want to see them do ³

³what they claim they have done in front of me and television³

³cameras for all the world to see '' said Patrick Delgado, a ³

³retired NASA radar expert who has spent a great deal of time³

³studying the phenomenon.                                    ³

³                                                            ³

³Bower and Chorley derided the complex theories that have    ³

³grown up around the corn circles, which also have been      ³

³spotted in continental Europe and elsewhere.                ³

³                                                            ³

³''We used to laugh, we used to talk to each other when we're³

³doing this, that all it is is flattened corn. If you walk   ³

³in, you flatten it.  The only difference was the shapes,''  ³

³Chorley said.                                               ³

³                                                            ³

³Bower added, ''We love the shapes because of their artistic ³

³value. It's just become a big laugh as the years go by.''   ³

³                                                            ³

³The two men's hoax claim was made as 300 international      ³

³circle- watchers gathered in Glastonbury for the first      ³

³United Kingdom Cornconference.                              ³

³                                                            ³

³At the conference Sunday night, Delgado acknowledged that he³

³may have been fooled by a hoax.                             ³

³                                                            ³

³''I was taken for a ride like many other people,'' the      ³

³retired scientist said.  ''But if it wasn't me who was      ³

³duped, it would have been someone else later on.  This was  ³

³obviously a great joke, lasting years, but somewhere or     ³

³other it would have been exposed.''                         ³

³                                                            ³

³Delgado and the other conference delegates planned to       ³

³discuss the hoax claim and observe a demonstration of the   ³

³two men's technique.                                        ³

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
