Speaking of Aliens

Not a moment ago, the Girlfriend and I were discussing the super weirdness of the Heavens Gate cult.

Remember them? They were those guys that committed ritual suicide some 13 odd years back, the last time Haley's Comet made a trip through the neighborhood.

In addition to ritual suicide, they also enjoyed recreational castration as well as inevitably talking about the aliens. The super duper aliens...The aliens that were riding the comet like intergalactic buckaroos...The aliens that were going to take them for the ride of their lives as soon as they got rid of those naughty boy bits down below.

I think they also had uniforms. Because what space cult wouldn't?

Anyways, nothing says chuckles like ritual suicide and this video made me laugh.

How To Fly A Kite from Paul Trillo on Vimeo.

UPDATE: I stand corrected. Turns out it had nothing whatsoever to do with Haley's Comet. Rather, it was Comet Hale-Bopp. AKA: That comet nobody really gets excited enough to kill themselves over.
