Could this... ---------------------------------------------------------- Malawian vampires now using sleeping gas
New York Times "Malawi, despite the best efforts of its government, is in the grip of a form of hysteria. Vampires are attacking the villages, people say. Men are finally fighting back. At night, when darkness shrouds the green hills and women and children hide in their huts, the patrols creep slowly through the cornfields. Twelve brave men peer behind towering anthills and whispering trees with pickaxes, knives and clubs at the ready. Their prey, witnesses insist, are modern-day vampires: men carrying flashlights who disable their victims with sleeping gas." http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/14/international/africa/14VAMP.html?ex=1043211600&en=d065b1e057b4c483&ei=5062&partner=GOOGLE ------------------------------------------------------------ be related with this... ------------------------------------------------------------ Some Africans prefer hunger to a diet of gene-altered corn ..... "It's a strange story. I don't know what is going on," says Richard Nkhoma, coordinator of the Shangombo food-receiving committee. "This one comes, gives some instructions. That one says, 'No' - gives different instructions." Sometimes, he admits, he feels like opening the gates of the small warehouse and letting the people "steal" the food. "I feel too sorry for them," he says. In October, villagers from Mumbwa, 30 miles west of Lusaka, took more than 500 bags of GM corn. Zambia is the only country to reject the food aid outright, but Zimbabwe, ------>Malawi<------, Lesotho, and Mozambique all expressed concern over the imports. When those countries finally decided to accept the aid, it was on condition that it would only be distributed after milling so as to prevent people from planting the seeds and risking cross- pollination. http://www.csmonitor.com/2002/1114/p12s01-woaf.html http://www.christopherzguris.com/isilo/news-csm-gbtgmd.html .... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Blood is a good way to get DNA...
