Proof that true stories are weirder made-up stories. ment. Kelley admitted to a jury in September that he “allowed” her to suck his thumb during therapy ses- sions, but only because one of her multiple personalities was ‘‘infan- tile” and needed support. However, he denied Spiegel’s claims that he had ever allowed any of the per- sonalities to suck his nipples, and he said he was only “minimally involved” in the incident in which Spiegel wound up wearing a dia- per during one office visit. SCIENCE FAIR + Scientists at Columbia Uni- versity have been conducting research on the roundworm's sense of touch to improve under- standing of human degenerative neural disorders, such as Hunt- ington’s disease. Researchers tickled the .01-inch-long worms with human eyebrow hairs to see if they twitCh. + Scientists at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Fla., have been con- ducting taste tests of recycled perspiration to use for human hydration on long space—tlights. They collect sweat from volun- teers who have been forced to exercise vigorously. + The official China Daily newspaper reported in July that one puff from a new cigarette created by the Design and Research Institute in Beijing can stop a toothache in 10 seconds and prevent the pain from retum- ing for a year. + Science magazine reported in July that Asteroid 1986DA, orbit- ing the sun, might just be com- posed of 10,000 tons of gold and 100,000 tons of platinum. The asteroid is about a mile wide and shaped like a canned ham. If the suspicion is true, the asteroid is worth $1.12 trillion. Since it never comes closer than 20 million miles to Earth, scientists are trying to find ways to alter its orbit so as to bring it closer. + Indiana University geo- chemist Simon Brassell and oth- ers, in a study released recently, concluded that the Earth's prehis- toric climate may have been sig- nificantly warmed by methane released by dinosaurs. It was not known previously that dinosaurs digested food by fermenting it, which is the process that gives off methane. + In September Dr. James Jef- ferson and colleagues at the Uni- versity of Wi in-Madi ford University Medical Center Set what is believed to be a record by removing the largest cyst ever - 303 pounds, measuring 3 feet in diameter — from a 34-year-old woman. The woman stands 5 feet 10 inches and weighed in at 210 pounds after the operation. (The Previous record is believed to be 185 pounds.) CREME DE LA WEIRD + Salt Lake City 7-Eleven clerk Dan Andres reported in October that a woman in her 40s came inta.the store to refill her 48- ounce soft drink jug but that when she removed the top, she found it full of roaches. After dumping about two dozen roach- es onto Andres’ counter, she filled the jug, paid for the soda and left. Andres said the subse- quent extermination bill was asound $500. LEAST COMPETENT RSON -S d pur: sent a questionnaire to 1,000 local id to a Dereese Delon Waddell in subur- study on nose-picking habits, about which he said, “Little is actually known.” “For example, is it time-con- suming?” A time-per-day ques- tion asks respondents to choose from answers of less than one minute to “more than two hours.” + In October, surgeons at Stan- ban Minneap last winter stood on a police lineup so the 76-year- old female victim could have a look at him. When police told him to put his baseball cap on his head with the bill facing out, so as to be presentable, he protested, “No, (I'm going to) put it on backwards. That's the way I had it on when I took the purse.” Rossland hosting its 95th annual winter carnival this weekend Three days of weird and won- derful activities are lined up for the 95th anniversary Rossland Winter Carnival, in Rossland, taking place Jan. 24, 25 and 26.
