Please bear with me. I was just told an amazing story about how the USSR is performing experiments involving a "giant magnet" in an attempt to screw up the weather for us, and make it better (a la agriculture) for them. In addition, we are countering with our own experiments - and our "giant magnet" is based somewhere near Chicago. Supposedly this is the explanation for why the weather has been so iratic lately. Hello? If you haven't lunged for you 'n' key yet - what I'm curious about is the following: Is this just some wierd story, or is it the by-product of a more rational, interesting story? That's all. I just need a little education before I go to net.physics with this. Thanks. bill (anonymous) fecht ihnp4!ihtnt!bwf
