A pregnant woman, yet? While it's true that microgravity would probably help the woman, it's probably very bad for the baby.

In all the sci-fi I've ever read women have to go into a 1G field, or as near as they can get to 1G, in order to successfully carry a healthy baby to term.

Something to do with fetal development I believe.

Hmmm Jason you didn't read The Integral Trees and The Smoke Ring by Niven, then?
inconceivable, why would the birth of a child in orbit unite the world? I'm curious, I just don't see it

I seem to remember that Niven's World of Ptavvs has the wife of the head of the Belters suffer a miscarriage because she didn't get to Ceres in time. Niven describes how Ceres is inhabited almost enitrely by pregnant mothers of the Belter nation, who have to carry their babies to term there. And in the world of the Integral Trees they have "gravity" on the trees themselves (where pepole live) due to tidal forces, IIRC.

I'm with Rusty. We probably won't go to a world currency immediately, but it's going to happen...amero, euro, or maybe something entirely new. But "they" will probably right the economy temporarily and reap us again a couple more times. I was pleasantly surprised that our citizens pitched such a fit over the bailout. Nevertheless, they had their way regardless of the outcry and they're going to do it again.
So here's an illuminati insider tip I got from a radioliberty.com interview. John McCain has been selected by the invisible government as our next president and oil will drop to $50/barrel. I wish I'd posted that info about the oil 2 weeks ago while the price was still high. The theory is that we're going to bankrupt the Middle East so that they'll join the rest of the world in financial misery. At least that's what I got out of it. I'll post the link to the interview if anyone's interested.
I've been waiting 30 years for the economy to crash. The Bible prophecies the rise of a world dictator. How that could happen was predictable. Can't have a world leader without a world government to lead and you can't have a world government without a world currency. You wouldn't have a world currency unless there was a compelling reason to go that way. It's about control.
It would be wise to follow the Mormons' lead and stock your pantries. Food prices are going to soar...according to the guy on the radioliberty interview, who got it from the illuminati man.

But I think he also had people living in spherical forests. I don't remember if women gave birth in those, though. I guess I'll have to reread the whole thing! Sweet!

I thought the Illuminati were supposed to be such a powerful secret society. They tell everyone about their plans on radio shows now?

Secret Illuminati Master: "Attention people of the world! We are about to bankrupt the Middle East in order to pave the way for the new World Currancy - the Fnord. Of course, the success of this plan depends on absolute secrecy! Now go and spread the word!"

Today it's $67/barrel. $17 and 13 days to go before we know how good the source is. I wonder how McCain will win...will the Republicans just steal the election or will Obama be disgraced?
