Beer, a computer, and an irritable monkey can be a very dangerous combination.

37 Year-Old Weenie Conspiracy Nut No Match For 72 Year-Old Astronaut

37 year-old Bart Sibrel, independent filmmaker, television producer and crackpot, was apparently pummeled by former Astronaut and current senior citizen, Buzz Aldren, while filming his next movie. Sibrel has made a career out of denying the moon landings actually happened, and is best known for a dismal “Did We Land on the Moon?” show on FOX a few years back.

Sibrel describes what led to the altercation:

"I approached him and asked him again to swear on a Bible that he went to the moon, and told him he was a thief for taking money to give an interview for something he didn't do," Sibrel told Reuters on Tuesday...

... Sibrel, 37, said he reported the assault to police and was seeking an assault charge against the 72-year-old astronaut.

So let me get this straight, you walk up to some old dude (probably in an aggressive manner), start yelling about the bible, call him a thief, and then are surprised when he smacks you upside the head? And then you’re gonna press charges? What the hell is wrong with this guy? Good god I hate moon-landing revisionists. Most other Conspiracy nuts I can tolerate. I mean, hell, I was one of the UFO worshiping dorks back when I was 13, but the moon hoax crowd has always irritated me above all else. Even more than the JFK freaks.

We went to the moon guys. Those big rockets they built back then, they freaking worked. I’ve seen samples of moon rock, and I’ve had geology professors explain why they could not be earth rocks. I’ve also talked to Astronomers back at my old college who are running experiments using reflectors that were placed on the moon during Apollo.

There is all the evidence in the world showing that we did land on the moon, and none that credibly says we did not. A conspiracy to fake a moon landing back then would have cost as much as the landing itself. Get over it. And stop harassing old Astronauts, you sputtering cockholster.

Old Buzz had every right to stick his foot up this guy’s ass.

It's really nice to know that all that physical training the astronauts underwent hasn't gone to waste. Too bad Aldrin didn't break that idiot's jaw with his punch... then maybe the stupid SOB would be forced to shut up for a while.

There's a video clip of the altercation at the ABC News site, but you have to go through a whole rigamarole to watch it. I didn't bother. They've got a still picture, and the doofus is obviously hassling Aldrin. He's a lot bigger than Aldrin too, which makes it all the more hilarious that he got clocked and he's making a big deal of it.
