Big Foot Found?
Offline According to a news story out of Georgia s body of a Bigfoot has been found. They plan to hold a news conference on Friday in Palo Alto as they are affiliated with the Bigfoot tracker from Redwood City.
See the story from KTVU Here.
The bigfoottrackers claim they will present DNA evidence at the news conference. See their website here.
Supposedly the body is of a 500 lb male 7' 7" tall. Sounds like a Georgia boy to me.

The worlds tallest woman died earlier today, she was 7'7" tall; is this a coincidence?

There was recently a message, that scientists examines a bits of fur, which doesn't resemble any known living animal. It was found somewhere on East, in an area where Yetti was seen.
I wonder if there will ever be any conclusion of such messages, they mostly seem to appear and then be forgotten.
Beings who deserve worship don't demand it. Beings who demand worship don't deserve it.
I tend to distrust websites that use caps to emphasize their points.
i distrust caps period.
"I have never felt comfortable around people who talk about their feelings for Jesus, or any other deity for that matter, because they are usually none too bright. . . . Or maybe 'stupid' is a better way of saying it; but I have never seen much point in getting heavy with either stupid people or Jesus freaks, just as long as they don't bother me. In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone. They will not inherit the earth, but then neither will I. . . . And I have learned to live, as it were, with the idea that I will never find peace and happiness, either. But as long as I know there's a pretty good chance I can get my hands on either one of them every once in a while, I do the best I can between high spots."

Scientific American, my favorite magazine. But what is this small dog, or coyote sized creature ? I haven't seen a sciam issue for quite some time. Maybe I should renew my subscription, huh !!
The website in the OP is down. Apparently, they've exceeded their bandwidth limit. I call hoax for no special reason other than that I want to be right before they release their amazing find on Friday. I wonder what kind of bullshit it really is.

Either A) They will be completely discredited and ridiculed forever or B) Major news event.
I'm interested to see what happens no matter which way it goes.

Or B), and then A). That's my guess.
I hope I'm wrong, though. Please be bigfoot, please be bigfoot....

Damn. It seems it's already been debunked.
On their website which you can't acces right now, they claimed there were other big foots watching as they recovered the body. Funny, no photos of that though.
A) may not be far away

I wonder why folks are so quick to slap labels like "Chupacabra" on the first unusual specimen to trot by?

The Chupa is just another dog or coyote with mange. It doesn't even fit the standard description of a Chupa (bipedal, huge shiny eyes, reptilian skin, etc).
The bigfoot thingy... well, my first instinct was to guess it was a viral marketing scheme, given they planned for a Friday conference. But now that it's been debunked... *shrug*.
We're going to all have to go on a bigfoot hunt some day. You know that, right?

I have been planning that for a long time. I figure it'll be a great family outing, going out to some place where bigfoot has been spotted many times, and walking around exploring.
Not that I expect to find evidence of bigfoot. It'd just be a lot of fun.

I've seen several websites for big foot in Oregon, but not Georgia.
It seems this won't go away. The news conference is still on for Friday.
See interview from Fox News Here of Biscardi.

This is, or was, the supposed bigfoot body. Looks like a bigfoot costume chillin in the fridge. I bet most have seen some of these already but I have been at work so just found them.

It is bullcrap and these are a bunch of hucksters aiming for the spotlight.
It is a costume and nothing more. These assholes are playing to the superstitions of the public.

The news conferance went as promoted at Noon PDT. The link to KTVU.com here is the conferance, about 50 min. See link here.
They released what sounds to be inconclusive DNA results and 2 photos. They probably will be on the web in the next few minutes. Supposedly Meaghan from Fox News will be the first media vulture to see the actual body sometime soon.

Photos given out are inconclusive. One photo shows what is supposed to be a bigfoot in the forest, the resolution is bad and you can't tell if it's real or a guy in a costume. The other photo, again poor quality, supposedly shows the mouth and tongue of the dead bigfoot.
See here for a link to a site with photos.
They claim they are being careful because they have found the equivalent to the world's largest diamond, however their actions are so infantile at times its hard to take it serious. The secretive method they have chosen just smacks of hoax. If real you just haul it into the local sheriff's office call some real scientists, prove it and go on Oprah and the rest of the talk shows. The creature then is named after you and you make money from books, film etc. Northern Georgia has roads about every mile so their claim is a bit hard to accept.

not only that, the area these guys are in has been developed and inhabited by Europeans and European descendants for over 400 years. Why isn't there any record of James Oglethorpe and his bunch encountering even legends of such a creature?

With the level of technology these days there's absolutely no excuse for the "best" bigfoot trackers to provide grainy pictures as evidence. That's an automatic DQ.

'Bigfoot' fails DNA test
One sample was human and the other was 96 percent from an opossum
By Clare BaldwinPALO ALTO, California - Bigfoot remains as elusive as ever.
Results from tests on genetic material from alleged remains of one of the mythical half-ape and half-human creatures, made public at a news conference on Friday held after the claimed discovery swept the Internet, failed to prove its existence.
Its spread was fueled by a photograph of a hairy heap, bearing a close resemblance to a shaggy full-body gorilla costume, stuffed into a container resembling a refrigerator.
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.
Bigfoot creatures are said to live in the forests of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. An opossum is a marsupial about the size of a house cat.
Results of the DNA tests were revealed in an e-mail from Nelson and distributed at the Palo Alto, California, news conference held by Tom Biscardi, host of a weekly online radio show about the Bigfoot.
Also present were Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, the two who say they discovered the Bigfoot corpse while hiking in the woods of northern Georgia. They also are co-owners of a company that offers Bigfoot merchandise.
Despite the dubious photo and the commercial interests of the alleged discoverers, the Bigfoot claim drew interest from Australia to Europe and even The New York Times.
Biscardi said the DNA samples may not have been taken correctly and may have been contaminated, and that he would proceed with an autopsy of the alleged Bigfoot remains, currently in a freezer at an undisclosed location.

96% possum? wtf was the rest?
(sorry, kentucky roots, i refuse to put an "o." )
that reminds me. i remember when my home county started putting road signs up. since time immemorial, this certain road was called "possum holler." everybody calls it possum holler, to this day. it's goddamn possum holler. they put the road sign up: "opossum hollow road." dad and i both were like, "you gotta be shittin' me. who do they think they're foolin'?"
