Bigfoots Body found

[MIB41]

No hair, no bones, no poop...just foot prints. Hmmm. Sounds like a fake...

Two Northern California men and two Georgians say they've got a body, a photo and DNA evidence pertaining to the elusive forest-dwelling man-ape — and that they'll reveal all at a press conference in Palo Alto, Calif., on Friday.

Of course they have DNA evidence if they have a body! It's like saying "they have a head, including the skull"! Also, if they do have a body, I'm not too impressed that they also have a photo of it. But the biggest head-scratcher here is that they would wait until Friday to "reveal all". Surely they're concerned about decomposition?

"I think you'll find that this is the real deal," Robert Barrows of Redwood City, Calif., told the Bay City News local wire service.

Matthew Whitton, a cop in Clayton County, Ga., and his friend Rick Dyer, a former corrections officer, say they recently found the body in the woods of northern Georgia.

Veteran Bigfoot tracker Tom Biscardi said he's examined the body, and that scientists will get their chance soon.

Georgia is indeed a known haunt of the southern US bigfoot. But since there is no specimen available for comparison, how can their "DNA" establish that they do indeed have a bigfoot? It's all very questionable. Biscardi, who supposedly examined the "body", perpetrated a known hoax along these same lines in 2005. Biscardi also produced a recent film about bigfoot. This is sounding more and more like a bid for cheap publicity.

EDIT: Also, the two Georgian men are co-owners of bigfoottracker.com and Bigfoot Global LLC, a company that offers "Bigfoot expeditions" to the paying public. Uh-huh.

He probably just faked his own death, too much attention from those damn commercials.

What a bunch of jerks. That is so obviously a fake (synthetic "fur", rubber "skin", ingeniously-placed "organs") that I'm embarrassed for even considering the possibility -- for 5 seconds -- that these guys might be legit.

I heard it was a bunch of camera guys from a show called Strange Wilderness that faked the creature's suicide after they accidently shot him up with bullet holes.

I think I played tennis with him once.......he had huge tennis shoes.

Wha--?? No, it's a couple of Georgia law officers with too much time on their hands slapping chicken giblets on a cheap ape suit.

Further evidence that the Gimli-Patterson film from the mid-60s is probably NOT a hoax, since hoaxes like this one are so obvious and easy to spot.

This is the bigfoot they're probably talking about.

I believe in Bigfoot. I saw him once as a kid on the SMDM show. Great actor!

Has anyone seen Peter Mayhew lately??

I know most of you guys are just kidding around, but I wanted to point out that bigfoot, real or imagined, is not just one individual entity. Sightings occur all over the US, from Northern California and the Pacific NW to Texas, Louisiana and the South, and have for decades if not centuries. That doesn't mean the creatures really exist, of course, but my point here is that the "legend" of bigfoot does not hold that only one of them is out there; in fact, quite the opposite. If they're real, there must be dozens or possibly hundreds of them.

I liked Bigfoot when he was on The Venture Brothers.

D'oh!!
