Bigfoot Returns to the mist


Well, I can't say that I'm surprised. It didn't take long for it to be revealed that the Georgia bigfoot was a hoax. As it turns out it was searchingforbigfoot.com that was given access to the specimen. Check out their website to see the Fox News story that sums up the uncovering of the hoax. Turns out it was a costume suit. I guess the question is whether the costume is sasquatch or gorilla. But we knew it was a hoax all of the time, right? Anybody who knows anything about Bigfoot knows that the North American range of Bigfoot is limited to the Pacific Northwest. Whether the Old World Yeti of the Himalayas is conspecific is beyond the scope of this blog. 

Oh, as a postscript, my favorite headline covering the recent controversy:

Bigfoot found! Eating an ivory-billed woodpecker...

What more needs to be said?
