Fun with Hale Boppers

I realise it's probably not polite to mess with the minds of the
reality challenged, but sometimes you just have to.

I was doing some stuff on Comets, after the Deep Impact thing. Sheldon
Nidle resurfaced, and I've long had a webpage exposing some really
silly stuff that went on around the time of Hale Bopp.

I asked if anyone could find the Australian representative of the
Planetary Activation Organisation (the photon belt loonies of Sheldon
Nidle), one Tony Wicks. Back in the time of Hale Bopp, he claimed that
the spacecraft would land at Uluru (Ayers Rock), and 10,000 space
ambassadors would setup camp. You would recognise them, because they
would look like grasshoppers and bears etc. I wanted to give him the
opportunity to explain or rebut what I had put up on my webpage.

Lo and behold, he is still peddling the rubbish, and he is still the
"coordinator" of the Australian chapter of the PAO.

The subsequent explanation (and not surprisingly very brief email
discussion) is he

Select the New Age Nitwits link on the left, then select the "update"
link in the right frame.
Alternatively, go direct he

Enjoy.
