So, Bigfoot eh?
« on: 13 Aug 2008, 21:47 »
So what do we all make of this thing: http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,24179242-2,00.html and http://www.searchingforbigfoot.com

Ape suit with a bit of offal thrown over it?

They are holding some kind of press conference:

Date: Friday, August 15, 2008
Time: From 12Noon-1:00pm
Place: Cabana Hotel-Palo Alto, 4290 El Camino Real
Palo Alto, California 94306

So I guess we'll know for sure after this weekend?  I mean, the whole thing sounds totally dodgy.  They say they found the carcass and "several live bigfoot creatures nearby" but don't want to tell where to "protect the creatures."

Sometimes when I hear about people in certain situations I wonder why they didn't pick a different, more useful hobby. Like knitting. Or origami. Or selling their bodies for cocaine.

This is one of those times.

I would probably join their expedition to capture a live bigfoot.

But only if we did it in late 1800's style.

If its bigfoot why is it jammed and crunched up in a form, where you can't really make out what it is.

omg lyke protect the Bigfeet man! We can't let the Man get them, man!



This "bigfoot" looks kinda like how a stuffed animal looks when you shove it in a box that's too small for it.

I'd imagine that if it was real, or even if they were trying to fake it convincingly, they'd have documented it a little more thoroughly than it seems like they have from the article. If they have a body there should be nothing stopping them from taking good, definitive pictures of it.

And the watermarks on their photo look really silly.

Incidently, I'm glad that I haven't seen the words 'science' or 'scientists' bandied about in regards to this.

For some reason I want this all to be a rediculous publicity stunt for an as yet unnanounced movie.
Like, five minutes into the conference, Sasquatch jumps up and rips off his flesh, only to reveal a Power Ranger underneath.

How does one become a "professional" Bigfoot hunter?

I mean, what's your source of income?

So, the press conference was had and the verdict is.... undecided. The DNA samples the finders got came back inconclusive, human, and possum. They showed a few more pictures and revealed that they would reveal the body later, when a scientist friend of theirs comes back from vacation. They said they were right, other people said they are hoaxers. Who knows? I guess we're still in suspense.

You may have found it, but do you have a photo of one(that looks suspiciously like the costume of it) in a freezer and a call to specific scientists that may eventually prove the existence of what you have to back up such a spectacular find? I thought not.

I mean, what are you going to do? Go public? Bwahahahaha

Anyone else reminded of that simpsons episode where they find an angel, but it all ends up as an advert for a shopping centre?

No cure for all different cancers; but for some, yes - and most if diagnosed early enough.  They cured mine twenty years ago.

There's an article summing it up I saw on Fark. This is the best line:

Gregg was joined shortly by a man clad in a Chewbacca costume. He also came with a sign, but his read "We hide for a reason."
