Just this evening, I was in Boston's Kenmore Square and I was a building with an amusing title on the door. I can't remember precisely, but it was something like "New England Center for Death Studies" or something like that. I have *no* earthly idea what it might be about, and I didn't happen to notice the address, but the person who originally asked the question might want to see if he could track these people down and find out what it is that they do with their lives. steve -- Stephen Gisselbrecht mit-eddie!steve steve@athena.mit.edu "AAAAAKKK!!!

In article <568@blblbl.UUCP>, which you just read, I incorrectly said: > Just this evening, I was in Boston's Kenmore Square and I was a building > ... ^^^ I just wish to state, for the record, that I am not now nor have I ever been a building, no matter what it might have had on its doors. I did, in fact, see a building remarkably like the one that I described myself having been in the aforementioned posting. Thank you. steve I'm gonna read this one over before I send it. -- Stephen Gisselbrecht mit-eddie!steve steve@athena.mit.edu "AAAAAKKK!!! The piano is eating my boyfriend!!!"

I think it's "The New England Center for Near-Death Studies" and they do research on "Near-Death Experiences", I believe. I could be mixing it up with something else, but that sounds right. -- Sarge Gerbode -- UUCP: pyramid!thirdi!metapsy!sarge Institute for Research in Metapsychology 950 Guinda St. Palo Alto, CA 94301

If it were "Near-Death" I wouldn't have noticed it and thought "Gee, I should tell the people on sci.bio who were asking about that." steve -- Stephen Gisselbrecht mit-eddie!steve steve@athena.mit.edu "AAAAAKKK!!!

Please don't confuse what you see in ninja movies as real martial arts. Oh yes, they do all the kicks, punches, and screams, but their motive is entertainment. Unfortunately, many people consider death as entertainment. Real martial arts is a study of life in balance, peace, self control, spirit, truth, ect... These are merits with lots of moral value! Given, `Master of Death' is a mean title, and would probably be a great character in the next karate-chop flick- but this is not something martial artists are really proud of. :-} Matt \ /\/\ /|email: gray@boulder.Colorado.EDU /***\ /\/*/**\/*|Department of Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology / /\ \/**\/ \ |University of Colorado, Boulder /__/**\/____\_____\|(303) 492-7848
