Bigfoot Found?

[angellous_evangellous]

Nick, even at this point, do you honestly not find this funny at all?

 

[Mister_T]

Maybe I was taking your sentencing too seriously (throwing poo at them, etc).

Anyone who thinks society would have been satisfied with the "evidence" presented at the press conference, most certainly deserves poo.

Thata way on the next hoax, the media can waste its time (and our valuable advertisement dollars) giving us a laugh AND something good to look at.

Maybe they'll sweeten the deal by putting her in a leapord bikini.

Not really. If anything I find it sad for those trying to be legit about such things.

You know... I'm guessing today would be a good day to dump my old Sasquatch paraphenalia up onto Ebay.

Well, you get the good with the bad.

On the one had, there's the Bigfoot hoaxes that embitter people who take that kind of thing seriously... and on the other hand, I have to see the idiots who present the Flying Spaghetti Monster nonsense at AAR. Even knowing about them wastes valuable space in my brain.

Good thing that God gave us a magical liquid that erases memory.

Wow....that's a first for me.

This site claims to have the entire press meeting (43 min.) on video, but the link is presently broken. I'll try it again later.

Oh, that press meeting was interesting. It seems a lot of what was reported as silliness about these guys was just them joking.

More blurry photos. With cameras as sophisticated as they are today, to get photos this out of focus and over-exposed requires more effort than taking good clear shots.

i thinks it's a hoax made by the hoaxsters (the ones we blame for making up teh global warming haox, fake food shortages, hurricanes/tornadoes/earthquakes etc).

I think that it's the same kind of guy who switches decaf for caf at the office coffeepot.

Just for the laughs.

Two men from Georgia, USA, found the body of a 7'7 and 500 pound half-man half-ape creature on Friday. Both were hiking in the woods. They don't claim to just have pictures, or videos, they actually have the body in the freezer! They got a bunch of scientists running DNA tests and the likes on it.

The fishy bits are that they won't let the body be seen and only letting scientists they pick run the DNA tests. HOAX? REAL? I would pay to know. Link below.

I love, love, love being right.

May I find ten million more just like you. :beach:

To be fair, DNA samples are easily contaminated, and the fact that the samples were collected by the two hikers and not a professional doesn't help matters.
They probably plucked a few hairs from the outside of the carcass, without wearing nitrile gloves, contaminating it with their own DNA and the DNA of any animal who had come into contact with the "body".

 

[angellous_evangellous]

To be fair

What would be fair is if other mythological creatures could be subjected to the same test.

Also, if scientists knew what DNA from a Bigfoot should look like, they would be able to identify it as such. The best thing that could happen is that the DNA test yielded nothing - a new species, which, of course, they could not identify as the Big foot.

It's best to get a hearty laugh out of this rather than to rationalize it.

 

[Willamena]

To be fair, Bigfoot is hardly mythological. He's akin to an urban legend.

 

[Valjean]

Well that clinches it -- bigfoots are human/oppossum hybrids.

Bigfoot DNA would come back as "unknown", but would bear similarities to other primates.
