Ok, when they do DNA testing, what are they going to compare it to? What if Bigfoot DNA is really similar to human and/or possum DNA? I dunno, crazier things have happened...

It's kinda like the thread on black panthers last week. Wildlife commissions and state game agencys aren't going to admit that is what people saw, 'cause then they would have to admit they are in the area. Same with ol' Harry. If his DNA ain't Bigfoot DNA, then it ain't Bigfoot they found. End of story. Something just doesn't quite add up here to me.

You know the Patterson film, the most famous bigfoot film of all? Shortly after it was filmed, some American anthropologists studied it for a couple of days, frame by frame. One of their first conclusions was quote: "nothing walks like that" and they concluded that it wasn't real because of this. Anyone with half an analytical mind quickly realizes that "nothing walks like that" could actually be evidence of the authenticity of the film. The alleged "death bed confession" is in itself a hoax, if you bother to really take the time to find out what that is all about.
IF bigfoot is a real creature, we are talking about the closest thing there is to Homo sapiens on Earth, closer than any other primate. Besides the probable similar DNA we would have in common, logic flies out the window, because it would be the most intelligent, the most thinking and reasoning mind on the planet besides our own. If its real I wouldn't presume to reach any conclusions about its behavior, or what it did with its feces. Generally man has always disposed of our own in some way, it is even thought that the previous 4 or 5 species of prehistoric man did so too. It is not lost on me that some animals we now know well were once thought to be legends only, & the Indian nations of North America all believed that giant apemen lived deep in the remote forests and high in the mountains and for me that is enough reason enough to keep my mind open, and thats what I do.
You have to wonder though, about this claim of a bigfoot corpse. The withholding of the "corpse" doesn't do a thing for the claims made by these guys, they certainly are not very cooperative when they are asked when they are going to produce it for the world to see. Jeez if you have a corpse that would pretty much rock the world why hide it?

The hoax was "confirmed" by the DNA study. But it is important to remember we know nothing at all about the chain of evidence, the lab that did the DNA study, how the sample was taken or the purity/non contamination of the contents of that freezer. In the south the idea of possum stew isn't farfetched, and possum blood being in a freezer isn't either.

OK, OK, I think this has gone on quite long enough... this pointless discussion of whether or not there really is a "Bigfoot." I am privy (don't ask how or why, I cannot, willnot say...) to special, priviledged knowledge about Bigfoot. I am willing to reveal these unique secrets to any of the select few people who submit, along with an essay justifying the nature of their request, include $1,000.00 US or equivalent cash currency, before midnight, tonight. Hurry, you've but a few minutes left...

No such thing as Big Foot. It’s nothing but those silly Ledbetter girls again. Ever since their grandma quit the circus in 1964 and moved to northern Georgia people have been yelling about “Big Foot” sightings.



Actually Sheila (kneeling center) is a great cook and Myrtle (second from the right standing with hair braids) is a damn fine piano player…

You're right! It's not a BigFoot -- It's a Wookie!!

Thanks for the laugh.

Patricia (brunette second from left standing) looks very personable. She gets very offended when called a Wookie.

I heard Gertie, far right on back row, shaves ... ya know, down there.

And here is the latest....

Bigfoot Body Revealed to Be Halloween Costume
Tuesday , August 19, 2008

By Paul Wagenseil


So it really was a rubber suit.

The excitement over a supposed Bigfoot body that built all last week, culminating Friday in a circus-like press conference in Palo Alto, Calif., collapsed like a wet soufflé over the weekend as an independent investigator found out it was all fake.

SearchingforBigfoot.com owner Tom Biscardi paid an "undisclosed sum" to Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, the two Georgia men who say they found the body, for their frozen corpse and the privilege of trotting them out in front of TV cameras.

At the same time, Biscardi sent self-described "Sasquatch detective" Steve Kulls back to Georgia to check out the body.

Kulls, it's safe to say, was severely disappointed.

The upshot? The real Bigfoot, once found, is now missing. So are Whitton, Dyer and Biscardi's money.

• Click here to visit FOXNews.com's Natural Science Center.

In a long statement on SearchingforBigfoot.com, Kulls reveals what he found early Sunday morning Eastern time as the body thawed out.

"I extracted some [hair] from the alleged corpse and examined it and had some concerns," Kulls writes. "We burned said sample and said hair sample melted into a ball uncharacteristic of hair."

Kulls called Biscardi in California, who told him to heat the body to speed up thawing.

"Within one hour we were able to see the partially exposed head," Kulls continues. "I was able to feel that it seemed mostly firm, but unusually hollow in one small section. This was yet another ominous sign."

Then came the clincher.

"Within the next hour of thaw, a break appeared up near the feet area. ... I observed the foot which looked unnatural, reached in and confirmed it was a rubber foot."

That jibes with what Jerry Parrino, owner of Internet Halloween-costume retailer TheHorrorDome.com, told FOXNews.com last week.

"It definitely looks like our [Sasquatch] costume," Parrino said after viewing photos of the body.

The Biscardi team immediately went into crisis mode. Biscardi called Whitton and Dyer at their California hotel. They admitted it was a hoax and agreed to sign a promissory note at a meeting set for 8 a.m. Pacific time at the hotel.

But when Biscardi got there, he "found that they had left."

"At this time action is being instigated against the perpetrators of this fraud," Kulls writes on Biscardi's Web site. "On behalf of myself I can say with certainty Matthew Whitton and Ricky Dyer [are] not the best Bigfoot trackers in the world!"

Jackass.

Everyone knows Big Foot is the drummer for Gnarls Barkley. Link

There has been lots of foolishness in regards to this fraud. Tom Biscardi being one of the biggest fools for letting himself be duped by a couple guys who really set out to, and did offend many in the community interested in finding the truth about this alleged species.
