As a friend of mine said, I believe it's a hoax, but it sure would be neat if it were real. There shouldn't be any good reasons for these guys to prolong exhibiting it. Yeah, they're "a policeman and a former corrections officer" putting their jobs and credibility on the line, but won't they be plenty rich by the time it's all over?

And if it isn't a hoax?... What would that say about the concept of...*cough*..Religion?...:ohmy:

Don't be absurd.

Materialists seem to believe that every time we learn that the universe isn't quite the place we thought it was, it means God can't be real.

What it really means is that Man isn't omniscient. Who do we worship, after all? Ourselves, mostly. That's why it shakes us so hard.

But the body turned out to be a hoax.

We now return you to your former omniscience.

Star Wars??

Chewbacca! Oh, I need me a Chewie in my life. Sigh.

I watched this one with interest also.

Ponders this phenomenom. Is it possible? Well, yeah, I think so. Why not? We are still discovering new species.

If so, where are they? Could they possibly find a hiding place from people any longer? This I doubt.

So then the myriad reportings are hoaxes followed by mass hysteria?

And the last big question. What kind of atrocities will we wreak upon such a creature if we should find one?

We'll have all our little Chewies lined up in a church pew wearing suits and speaking correct English before you know it!


Best to look the other way. Heh.

We'll shave him, and have him play center for the Lakers.

Oh, wait...

The mental image of two guys hauling a 500 pound mass of rapidly putrescing meat out of a "remote location" was plenty amusing.

In the sixties when I lived in WA state I saw an article in the "Seattle Post-Intelligencer" from their archives which said that a man had brought one out of the mountains and that people paid to see him exhibited in Seattle.

I've tried without success to find this article.

Interesting.

Could someone explain to me why these guys are being prosecuted? I mean, it was a big practical joke, and it's not like they made money out of it... at most, they should be made to compensate scientists and others who lost billable time following a manufactured trail. But I would be horrified if the punishment was any more severe.

Who said prosecuted? It would be nice if they were. They committed fraud and received money on false pretenses.

oh... I guess settlements then... that should happen... I didn't know they'd received cash... the moment I learned it was a hoax my mind switched off in regard to this story.

See, now, if this were The Twilight Zone, the hoaxers would be kidnapped by an embarrassed, shadowy bio-megacorp and lowered into a pit containing, of course, Bigfoot.

You're allowed to search for bigfoot too, you know. :yes:

Are you saying Bigfoot is the Santa Claus of the wilderness then? :huh: :D

Yeah, they're "a policeman and a former corrections officer" putting their jobs and credibility on the line, but won't they be plenty rich by the time it's all over?

Maybe. Depends on how the lawsuits go. Either way, the lawyers will be plenty rich. :D

:laugh:

Reality is nearly as funny....

Bigfoot hoaxers say it was just 'a big joke' - CNN.com

Now the two Georgia men admit that the hairy, icy blob was an Internet-purchased Sasquatch costume stuffed with possum roadkill and slaughterhouse leftovers.

Hey, if the Bigfoot "expert" can't tell a smelly stuffed sasquatch costume from a "real Bigfoot" while "authenticating" it... who can? :laugh:

I love the police chief giving reason to why he fired the police officer hoaxer (on CNN link):
"He lied on national TV," Turner says of Whitton, "so a defense attorney now could say, 'How do we know you're not lying now?'

There's another mystery in this story...

'Bigfoot' fails DNA test - Science - MSNBC.com

One of the two samples of DNA said to prove the existence of the Bigfoot came from a human and the other was 96 percent from an opossum, according to Curt Nelson, a scientist at the University of Minnesota who performed the DNA analysis.

:shocking:
