[ARENA] Neural 15th anniversary: issue #31 + joint action with S.W.A.M.P.

Neural magazine celebrates 15 years of publishing with issue #31 and  
joining S.W.A.M.P. group (Doug Easterly and Matt Kenyon) for a  
collective micro-printing action.

Subscribers will receive a numbered/limited edition of a S.W.A.M.P.'s  
"Notepad" sheet of paper with an envelope. It looks like an everyday  
yellow legal paper, but each line is constructed of micro-printed text  
and contains the personal details of Iraqi civilian casualties.

Subscribers are triggered to write a letter or memo or draw a picture  
on it and send it to the White House, then signing up for a free  
replacement sheet on the S.W.A.M.P. website, if they want. Once in  
circulation each sheet then acts as a "Trojan horse" - slipping the  
unwanted and unacknowledged civilian body count data into official  
governmental archives.

This is a joint action that proves how paper and pixel together can  
make the difference.
