I have heard a rumor that an increasing number of bizarre events are taking
place on a universe-wide basis. For example:
(1) A candidate who advocates that the head of U.C.'s divinity school should
be burnt at the stake recently won the Illinois Democratic primary for 
secretary of state. Not only that, but she carried the ward in which the
campus is sited by a majority of 2 to 1.

(2) An undersecretary of state, speaking on prime-time TV, made a half-way 
truthful statement about the administration's central American policy.
(`We cannot allow the Honduran government to accept this [the Nicaraguan
government's pursuit of contras across the border]')

I am told that the cause of this is the recent complete description of the 
laws of physics, by means of an analytic geometric reformulation of
superstring theory, due to two physicists in this institute. As a result,
the universe is undergoing an existential crisis, causing bizarre events to
propagate out from the centre of the disturbance - here. The above examples
support this theory, as do several recent postings on the group. 
Can anybody verify this?
