US hunters claim to have found Bigfoot
Times Online (UK) ^ | 8/14/08 | Jaqui Goddard

To the untrained eye, it may look suspiciously like a cast-off from a fancy dress party. But to Bigfoot believers, this is the latest “evidence” that the mysterious ape-man said to dwell in the forests of North America is more than just a hairy myth.

Named Rickmat in honour of Rick Dyer and Matthew Whitton, Bigfoot hunters who claim to have bagged the 500lb ’corpse’ during an expedition in the US state of Georgia, it was being hailed today as potentially the “greatest discovery of the millennium” - by its finders, at least.

But that was not all they found in the woods. For as they marvelled at the seven foot seven inch, red-haired, flat-footed beast prostrated before them as they trekked through densely wooded mountains, Dyer and Whitton, 33 - who is currently on leave from police work after accidentally shooting himself while pursuing a robbery suspect - claim that they also spotted several of Rickmat’s friends and relatives lurking among the trees.

They are due to present the purported corpse, and their video footage of the shy Bigfoot clan, in public tomorrow, along with what they describe vaguely as “DNA evidence”.

Just one photo? LAME. Why not multiple shots from all angles with close-ups and a photo of the inner mouth, the eyes, the fingernails? They don’t even try...

From Ace of Spades:

Bigfoot, 1941-2008.

He is survived by his wife, Mavis, and his children, Bethany and "Little Bigs" Bigfoot Jr.

The entire state of Georgia will be turned into a Bigfoot Reserve. All humans will have to move out by September 15. You should have shoveled and shut up.

Why is it that the people who see the weirdest stuff also have the worst cameras and the worst photography skills on the planet? My 7 year old could take better pictures.

Look at the maxillary dentition. The row of teeth you can see appears to have a parabolic or curved shape, rather than the squared shape you see in most primates.

I'd like a better view, but there is something really funny about that.

The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organisation, which believes in Bigfoot but not in Rickmat, said the deceased apeman displayed a remarkable likeness to the “Deluxe Sasquatch Costume” on sale on a Hallowe’en costume website for $449.

Looks like they are just trying to make their $449 back after a night of partying at the Bigfoot Hootenanny.

Press Conference:

Matthew: “Now, Rick will present the Bigfoot body.”

Rick: “Me? I thought you were bringing Bigfoot. It’s your freezer.”

Matthew: “No, I thought you had it. You’ve got the pickup truck.”

Matthew: “Has anybody seen a Bigfoot laying around?”

“Matthew: “Has anybody seen a Bigfoot laying around?””

Thought I did over in Bejing the other night but it turned out to be CGI.
