You Can't Make This Stuff Up 081708

I HAVE Seen Bigfoot. Chances Are, So Have You.

Hey folks,

GREAT news! WE really may have seen Bigfoot. Yup. I have seen him quite a bit. Even in my back yard. Chances are, so have you. I always thought though, that he would be taller. There is a scientific and proper name for him. It's Opossum. {Laughing}

Yes folks, the DNA is in. Bigfoot is part human, and 96 percent Opossum. At 7 foot 7, that is one big Opossum.

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.

You know, when I first heard this completely BS of a story, my first reaction was, "Yeah, right next to the Loch ness Monster and the Abominable Snowman. Next we will have some kind of Alien Autop,,,wait,, never mind, we all ready did that. "

But how I heard this story originally was at a Circle K. I was in line getting, coffee of course, when the clerk was talking to the women in front of me. She said "Did you hear that they found Big Foot? I'm not kidding. They have PROOF!" I pretty much just laughed and said what I just said above and she said. "No, no, Sir. They really found him. They have proof." {Sigh}

You know that we are in trouble when it comes to people in this country, when someone can actually believe something like this. No wonder there are Obama kool aid drinkers. No wonder people actually believe in the whole GWBS. They FOUND BIGFOOT!!!

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.

OK. First read that again. Bigfoot creatures are said to live in the forests of the U.S. Pacific Northwest. Where did they find him? Georgia. Then you have this.

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.

OK Red Flags anyone? 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.

There is that X-Files whistle again. OK. So you have two guys that SELL Bigfoot Merchandise, and an online radio host who talks about Bigfoot, finding it, and now going to do an autopsy? I hear that the guy that did the alien one is available.
