Given the legal position you have highlighted, it's probably best to leave it at that.

The one I cited provides addresses for shops in Arnhem and Utrecht, their Mon-Fri opening hours and four +31 (i.e. The Netherlands) telephone and fax numbers. It also features photographs of the shops' interiors. Here's another shop (Personal Security Systems Spyshop) in Amsterdam which (at the time) sold virtually the same product range and which I visited on several occasions. > What you may have seen in Amsterdam were like many > things, on the market for a short period while laws > were passed restricting them.

I don't doubt what you say about legality - I assumed they were legal in Holland as they were on sale openly. I've just Googled Euro Spyshop of Arnhem selling a Cell Phone Stun Gun 180K volt (?299,00), Super Air Taser (? 1.259,00) and Taser Shock Gun (? 1.259,00). Looks like business as usual regarding Tasers and Stun Guns despite the legal position although the "Shockers & Sprays" section of their web catalogue no longer lists any sprays. > Pepper spray What I saw in Amsterdam were small, key-ring sprays promoted as anti-rape devices openly on sale. I don't know what the active ingredient was (although I can confirm its efficacy as a lachrymator): perhaps a substance that wasn't prohibited under the law as it stood at the time? link removed - The Administrator

It looks as though it might do the job. It seems a bit over priced to me. The fact that it runs on Linux shouldn't make any difference to the user. Have you taken the tour at the distributor's website? Simplicity Computers

I don't know what the situation is now but when I lived in France during the late nineties and Holland during the early noughties it was legal to purchase and carry electric shock/stun devices (and even Tazers in France if one didn't mind registering with an authorised vendor) and tear-gas sprays along with lots of other defensive gadgets. I don't recall any evidence that they made much difference to the crime rate except that criminals and victims were equally likely to use them. Personally, I've been to and lived in countries where it was normal to carry a knife, a handgun and an assault rifle just to go to the local shop - I've never really gotten over that experience: just don't feel safe without an AK47!

Keef - this idiot gave you a sample of his DNA. If you still have any article with his saliva on it, the police should be able to obtain his DNA profile. If his profile is not identified on the National Database already, it probably won't be long before it is. Also, the sample may identify other unsolved crimes. The only hassle is that you'd probably have to give the police a specimen of your DNA for elimination purposes unless you have a "clean" sample of his. And your DNA will end up on the National Database, too.

No apology necessary. If anything it is I who should apologise. I was just trying to reflect the humour in your post. I tend to sound a bit robotic on email - hence my choice of screen name. No offence perceived or intended on my part.

Sorry, that won't cut it. You > could have written it. That is exactly why I made the point that my links "identify the principal sources" - the Wiki pages link through to the original scientific research papers - unless you suspect that I wrote all of them too? Clue: See the footnotes and/or references sections.

I've added links above that identify the principal sources in this field of study.

I'm looking for something > reasonable, not controversial. It's not that far fetched, actually. If God were smart enough to have created the entire universe then it would be reasonable to assume that Adam's and Eve's ova and sperm were sufficiently heterozygous to account for the observed genetic diversity of the human race, surely? Indeed, modern science has identified a mitochondrial Eve and a Y-Line Adam amongst our genetic ancestors.

Adam and Eve had sons and daughters whose names are not recorded in the Bible (Gen, 5:4 reads, "And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years and he begat sons and daughters.") Cain's wife was one of those daughters - a sister. The Talmud says that Cain and Able were born with twin sisters and that each took the other's twin for a wife. 2. More controversially, the Talmud says that Adam and Eve were created in God's image but that other people were created earlier along with the animals in general. When Cain was banished, he took a wife from amongst those peoples. (The Talmud contains many levels of exegesis.)

UFO's are hibernating monolithic Von Neumann/Bracewell Probes parked by ancient alien visitors amongst the Greeks and Trojans of Jupiter. They were awoken by nuclear detonations in Nevada, which were interpreted as evidence that an intelligent species had evolved on Earth. They came, looked around, abducted a few mammals but didn't find any intelligence worth writing home about and returned to Jupiter to await further developments. I should know. I had a run in with one of them back in 2001 and am scheduled to make contact again in 2010, if they don?t track me down first. So, yes, my presence here could precipitate first contact in East Dulwich. Be afraid, very afraid!

There's enough in a discarded cigarette butt, a wad of chewing gum, a used tissue or even the rim of a glass someone has drunk from to place them at the scene of any crime - with a little malicious aforethought.
