Oh my, now I'll be humming Meat Loaf songs all night.
"Tiny Bubbles" back to you. :-)
Thanks for the ping! Now I'm trying to remember the name of the one FReeper I know will be interested in a cryptobiology topic...
Monkey Face, somehow I feel this topic should interest you, dunno why...
Seventeen Reasons Why Bigfoot Might Be Real:
1. Jane Goodall is a believer.
2. 30 or more policemen have reported seeing a Bigfoot.
3. Over 1500 good-quality sightings have been reported.
4. Sightings go back 200 years-Native Americans' further.
5. Certain creature-characteristics would make hoaxing difficult, e.g.: Height (often 8 feet!), Girth, Stride, Weight, & Stench. No hoaxers of 8-foot Bigfeet have come forward with suits.
6. Hoaxing of many footprints in remote locations is unlikely.
7. Feet: longitudinal dermal ridges & subtly non-human features.
8. 33 positron emission profiles of Chinese Wildman hairs match one another, but don't match any known animal's.
9. 25 hair analyses = "unknown animal" or "
primate."
10. Expert DNA analysis of Yeti-hair root: "unknown animal."
11. Piles of human-shaped but gigantic poop have been found.
12. Twisted trees & branches + BF heard limb-snapping.
13. There's no convincing imitation of the ape in Patterson's film.
14. Dogs often fear the scent of Bigfoot, when brought to a site.
15. 1000's of borderline encounters reported: unusual sounds, stenches, rocks thrown, "beds" found, strange "kills."
16. Audiotapes of Bigfoot calls have withstood sound-expert analysis & been endorsed by those who've heard Bigfoot.
17. Variance of footprint lengths to widths = bell-shaped curve.
