From the LA Times:
[Lunar Landing Skeptic Says ‘Buzz’ Aldrin Attacked Him](http://www.latimes.com/news/custom/showcase/la-me-aldrinsep10.story)
> [@](#):

> . . . took a report from Bart Sibrel, 37, who said he was battered by the 72-year- old astronaut.
Apaprently, Sibrel asked him to swear on the Bible that he had been to the moon. I did a web search on Sibrel, and he’s apparently a well-known Moon Hoaxist. Our own [Bad Astronomer](http://www.badastronomy.com/bad/misc/apollohoax.html) has a link to a page debunking Sibrel and his various claims, and his name appears all over Google, not in a flattering way. He’s also apparently pulled this Bible stunt with Aldrin, and other Apollo astronauts, before.
You **go** , Buzz! Shouldn’t this guy be embarrassed to even report an assault by a 72-year-old? This is even funnier than when Gene Hackman gave that guy what-for in traffic last year.

Buzz Aldrin is a totally sweet ninja! He walks on the moon AND flips out and kills people! ([http://www.realultimatepower.net](http://www.realultimatepower.net), for the curious)
