February 16, 2005 <br> BOSTON, MA -- ''Four years ago, Shawn Cordova worked as an animal trainer and caretaker for the [http://www.neaq.org/index.flash4.html New England Aquarium], but his plane went down on September 11, 2001, as he was departing for a planned three week exchange with the [http://www.lazoo.org/ Los Angeles Zoo]. Believed dead, and actually comatose, until a month ago, Cordova is one of the Godlike and has been accepted back at his old job, but with a whole new set of skills. <br> "Schools of fish use body movement and pheremones to stay in formation, but they mostly rely on electrical impulses," Cordova says. "We're still trying to figure all of that out, but whatever wavelength they're broadcasting on, I can do the same thing." When he uses his new abilities, Cordova says, "It feels like there's a little buzz in the back of my brain, just under my ears, and then the fish move the way I want." <br> "Dolphins are different, though.
