   Seems apt. Also it seems he was a bit of a scoundrel in his personal   
   life.   
      
   I read a lot of that kind of stuff (several of von Däniken, one or two   
   on the Bermuda Triangle, possibly others I can’t remember now) back in   
   my teens. Maybe even a bit of Bruce Cathie.   
      
   Did it leave a lasting effect on me? Let’s just say, I no longer   
   return the Lizard People’s calls ...
