Two Georgians Say They Have Bigfoot???s Body

Alternate headline - get yourself in the New York Times by throwing some deer entrails into a cooler on top of a monkey suit.

This article is filed under humor, because these clowns are obviously full of crap, but still, it's a great marketing ploy. One of them just happens to own a *business* that "offers bigfoot tours." The perpetrators of this hoax are going to offer up the "proof," today. But, before that happens, let's take bets on what the excuse will eventually be as to why actual scientists won't be able to examine their "evidence." (Georgia has a great primatalogy institute at Emory university, arguably one of the best in the world, but I guarantee you there will be some reason, or a host of reasons, that no one with any background in real science will be allowed to scrutinize anything.)

As an aside, I live in north Georgia, and mountain bike in many remote areas there often. I haven't personally seen a bigfoot in all my years (imagine that), but this story does scare me. You can never underestimate the stupidity of some rednecks with rifles and a large cooler - mountain bikers and everyone else in the vicinity when there is nothing else to shoot at, beware (and not to mention the stupidity of all the news outlets and bloggers and such that pick up the story just like the clowns want - including me ;)).
