The Von Däniken crowd goes way beyond the FRingies. What’s always bothered me is he’s such an atrocious writer and he can’t string together a single paragraph without contradicting himself. And yet people eat his junk up.

That's because it is a fun thing to think about. Too bad none of it is true. It would make things a bit more interesting.

It is fun to think about. I guess not everybody groks the difference between thought experiments and believing it to be true. Horton Hears a Who is a pretty fun thought experiment too, but I ain’t gonna believe we’re a speck of dust being carried around by a talking elephant either.
