Dave,

For IP, if you think it is worthy...  Ed


The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists (BAS) is moving the minute hand
of the Doomsday Clock on January 17, 2007, from 7 to 5 minutes to
midnight.

BAS announced the Clock change at an unprecedented joint news
conference at the American Association for the Advancement of Science
in Washington, DC, and the Royal Society in London. In a statement
supporting the decision to move the hand of the Doomsday Clock, the
BAS Board focused on two major sources of catastrophe: the perils of
27,000 nuclear weapons, 2000 of them ready to launch within minutes;
and the destruction of human habitats from climate change.
