I found this the other day, anyone else seen it? comments? Here is the answer to the question of why the $5.00 and quarters in the victims pockets. >> Interestingly enough, in 1907, Samuel Langhorne Clemens, aka Mark Twain, wrote a short story entitled "Extract from Captain Stormfield's Trip to Heaven," in which the hero leaves Earth for "an extended excursion among the heavenly bodies" on the tail of a comet. In the story, the hero has his passport on him, plus five dollars and three 25-cent pieces for the fare. Many of the Heaven's Gate victims had their passports on their persons and $5.75 in their hands. (See New York Post, March 29, 1997, page 6) In a strange twist, the comet Hale-Bopp has the same initials as Helena Blavatsky. Also, the acronym for Evolutionary Level Above Human (ELAH) spells HALE backwards. (See the Boston Herald for March 29, 1997, page 3)
