Asunto: A.I.R.


> Two new articles of note, both in the current *Annals of Improbable

> 1.)  Dr. Allan Ashworth,"Detection of the Ch'i Meson."
>
> "Ch'i photons can be generated by happy thoughts.  We selected a recently
> recruited graduate researcher who had not yet become cynical....She was
> asked to stand at a distance of two feet from a bubble changer and smile
at
> it...."  Ashworth's team finds negative Ch'i (Yin), positive Ch'i (Yang)
> and neutral Ch'i ("Yong") mesons and concludes..."Neutral Ch'i mesons
> predominate the ether; thus the Feng Shui force has, in general,
absolutely
> no effect on anything at all....The reason that experimental physicists
> have not seen a Ch'i meson to date is that, in order to see such a
species,
> you really have to WANT to see it."

> 2.)  Sage, M., Alsabti, E., Skolnick, A. "Waste Not Want Not:  Appendix
> Transplantation."
>
> "...as many as 100,000 healthy appendixes are removed unnecessarily and
> then discarded.  Such as waste is hard to justify considering the
> difficulty transplantation centers have in finding viable donor organs for
> transplantation....The problem of inadequte demand results largely from
the
