Earlier tonight I was running an anti-Planet X chatroom. Someone came into the group and claimed that the Apollo missions were hoaxed by NASA.

I asked what evidence they could provide to support such a claim, and was presented the following answer:



"The Van Halen belt!"


=D>

I'm still laughing about it, hours later. Never knew my favorite rock band posed any danger to the astronauts...

Pink Floyd would be crushed that people can't even make it to the dark side of the moon.

And Cat Stevens would be mighty upset about all the faked moonshadows.

That's a sign of a Bad Moon Rising.

Surely the Police didn't go Walking on the Moon, though. And Smashmouth certainly didn't go Walkin' on the Sun.

Does this mean that Tom Petty didn't actually have Full Moon Fever?

But I saw a video of the artist that formerly looked like Michael Jackson walking on the moon.

Hmmm and I thought Jimmy Buffett had his Beach House on the Moon.

To be specific, there are two Van Halen belts: the David Lee Roth belt and the Sammy Hagar belt.

You're totally ignoring the Gary Cherone belt! Wait... so is everyone else... nevermind. :wink:

BTW, I did attempt to show the person in question pertinent *cough* info *cough* about radiation, and why such claims don't withstand scrutiny, but alas they wanted nothing to do with anything factual and left.
