Put this item in folder at some point and forgot all about it.. Sandra Dick writes: for edinburgh news [4th April 2003] A CERTAIN HG Wells came up with the idea first: invent a fancy machine, step inside, press a few buttons and before you ask what the time is, you’re drinking tea with the ancestors.
Science fiction? Fantasy? Unbelievable? Perhaps . . .
The story goes that the FBI arrested Andrew Carlssin, suspicious after he turned $800 into $350 million in a few months on the stock exchange.
He then confessed to being a time traveller. Initial inquiries showed that there were no records of him before December 2002, and officials were quoted on the depth of the mystery. I don't think I've seen an outcome maybe it melted away..

Laser pointers are designed to illuminate inanimate objects. Never shine a laser pointer toward any person, aircraft, or other vehicle.
#Never look directly into the beam of a laser pointer of any type.
#Do not allow children to use a pointer unsupervised. Laser pointers are not toys.
If your telescope is equipped with a laser pointer that has a "constant-on" setting, do not leave the instrument unattended with the laser switched on.
#Do not aim a laser pointer toward mirrors or other shiny surfaces. The reflected beam may inadvertently strike someone in the eye.
#Do not aim a laser pointer skyward if you hear or see an aircraft of any kind flying overhead.
#Be aware of irresponsible uses of pointers so that the psychological effect will be minimized if you happen to be illuminated by one.
#Do not purchase a laser pointer if it does not have a "caution" or "danger" sticker on it identifying its class. Report suspicious devices to the authorities

To follow this posting on a general source of power, Jasper Gerard meet Micheal Crichton well known for the writer of the book 'The Andromeda Strain' now has a huge novel if you can call it that? State of Fear where the environmentalists create the 'wave' Global warming? Now that really is fiction
A giant wave envelops a tropical island. Victims scramble for survival. The world watches in horror. Michael Crichton has a knack for novels that are of the moment, but never has his fiction collided so savagely and swiftly with reality. You have read my recent post regarding Dennis Wheatleys 'Sixty Days to Live'., to see my point of view.
