This is getting very off topic, but, in the pursuit of truth... It's a known fact that trees near power lines grow faster than trees which aren't. Also, winning Science Fair project in my area was an experiment with plants and electromagnetic fields. The plants were all kept in a green house under the same conditions. The experiment was conducted by some 4.0+ GPA A.P. Biology students. Those plants which were surrounded by electromagnetic fields (just spools of wire hooked up to a power source) grew at a faster rate and also mutated (they were a plant in the legume family... peas or something). --Ludwig Pummer ( ludwigp@bigfoot.com ) ICQ UIN: 692441 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
