Well worth 19 minutes of your time...

You can see some footage here of Buzz Aldrin putting him up to it. (That guy's got muscles.)

That guy's a complete idiot. You would have done better to post Pauly Shore movies...

I read one of Shermer's books. I found it a great help in understanding why people I have known believed such bizarre things even though they were very intelligent people. I found the video informative.

Funny fact. My right eye is perfectly normal, but it never formed a proper connection with my brain. I can hardly see out of it, but since my left eye is normal, I do not need glasses.

The left brain/right brain part of the video made me think of this.

He puts anyone questioning 9/11, the JFK assassination, and those investigating the UFO phenomenon in the same pejorative category, "conspiracy theorists", and discrediting them as believing in "bizarre things". That's pretty idiotic to me.
