ATLANTA - Turns out Bigfoot was just a rubber suit.

Two researchers on a quest to prove the existence of Bigfoot say that the carcass encased in a block of ice - handed over to them for an undisclosed sum by two men who claimed to have found it - was slowly thawed out, and discovered to be a rubber gorilla outfit.

The revelation comes just days after a much ballyhooed news conference was held in California to proclaim that the remains of the creature were found in the North Georgia mountains was the legendary man-ape.

Steve Kulls, executive director of squatchdetective.com and host of Squatchdetective Radio, says in a posting on a Web site run by Bigfoot researcher Tom Biscardi that as the "evidence" was thawed, the claim began to unravel as a giant hoax.

First, the hair sample was burned and "melted into a ball uncharacteristic of hair," Kulls said in the posting.

he thawing process was sped up and the exposed head was found to be "unusually hollow in one small section." An hour of thawing later and the feet were exposed - and they were found to be made of rubber.

I hate it when this happens.

I don't believe in anything anymore.

I'm going to law school.

I haven’t followed this story at all, but earlier this evening I saw one of the guys that claimed to have found this thing and he was going on and on about how there were 3 or 4 more of these creatures ‘paralleling’ them on the way out of the woods with the thing. If I understood correctly, this guy was a law enforcement officer that has now been relieved of his job. Deservedly so.

I think Magilla and Mr. Peebles would be quite envious of this situation. I do not know whether to laugh out loud or have a Johnnie Walker straight up. This has shades of Geraldo and Al Capone's safe written all over it./Just Asking - seoul62......

Well done.

Just got the lab report back on the “Bigfoot Stale Ale” sample. It says, “Dear Sir, your ape has diabetes”.

Pick your poison.... I will take the Johnnie Walker straight up.

Can you imagine the look on his face.

[Mr. Binnacle]

The trackers should have figured this out when they found the rubber poo in the woods.

[seoul62]

Never on the rocks. They fell for that con-game, well as P.T. Barnum famously declared: THERE IS A SUCKER BORN, EVERY MINUTE!!!!!./Just Asking - seoul62.......

When even Coast-to-Coast AM is calling it a hoax you know it has to be bad.

[mirkwood]

You just made me grin! The dog is scared now. Thank you.

[Orange1998]

I will take anything on the rocks to get over this.
