Default Bigfoot found?

Surely I'm not the first to post this?

Has Bigfoot Been Found?

Real or fake? I myself would like to think it is real, but I don't.
1)Anything too good to be true usually is.
2)These guys have so much invested in this why wouldn't they fake it?
3)Why is this the first body found? Do they usually drop in a bottomless pit somewhere to die?

What, another one? The late and famed cryptozoologist Ivan T. Sanderson reported a similar claim in the 'sixties, in one of those great academic references, "True Magazine for Men" or "Saga" or similar. Linky.

Nice to imagine, but ... linky linky.

Always wanted to write 'linky', I appreciate this opportunity...

EDIT: Online news gives me another opportunity to write linky. It's starting to smell worse.

Sorry, maybe they were overwhelmed by traffic, as they were when the story 'broke'.

It already smelled bad, even frozen.

Bigfoot fails DNA test
Reuters
Posted 7 hours 32 minutes ago

Bigfoot remains as elusive as ever, after results from tests on genetic material from alleged remains of one of the mythical half-ape and half-human creatures failed to prove its existence.

The results were made public overnight after the claimed discovery swept the Internet, fuelled by a photograph of a hairy heap, bearing a close resemblance to a shaggy full-body gorilla costume, stuffed into a container resembling a refrigerator.

One of the two samples of DNA said to prove the existence of the Bigfoot came from a human and the other was 96 per cent from an opossum, according to Curt Nelson, a scientist at the University of Minnesota who performed the DNA analysis.

Bigfoot creatures are said to live in the forests of the US Pacific North-west. An opossum is a marsupial about the size of a house cat.

Results of the DNA tests were revealed in an email from Mr Nelson and distributed at the Palo Alto, California, news conference held by Tom Biscardi, host of a weekly online radio show about the Bigfoot.

Also present were Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, the two who say they discovered the Bigfoot corpse while hiking in the woods of northern Georgia. They also are co-owners of a company that offers Bigfoot merchandise.

Despite the dubious photo and the commercial interests of the alleged discoverers, the Bigfoot claim drew widespread interest, including from The New York Times.

Mr Biscardi said the DNA samples may not have been taken correctly and may have been contaminated, and that he would proceed with an autopsy of the alleged Bigfoot remains, currently in a freezer at an undisclosed location.
An opposum?

Oh well.

I had my doubts about this already, because of where the body was allegedly found, in the woods of northern Georgia (the US one, not the one near Russia ), which BTW is "Deliverance" territory. Everyone knows that Bigfoot lives in the area where I live, the rural mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Actually, it's "Bigfeet", since there are more than one of them.

And this bit ...

What a coincidence.

I'm originally from the South, with ancestors in Northeast Texas, southern Tennessee, and northern Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. Those are all rural, sparsely-populated areas, and except for the Piney Woods of Texas, they're mountainous; similar to Bigfoot territory in the Cascades of the Pacific NW. (Yep, I'm a 100% daughter of the Confederacy .)

I will ask my Dad what he's heard about Bigfoot in those areas. He's in his 80s and heard all the old stories, so surely if someone's seen Bigfoot, he'll know about it.

(Unless some of my relatives *are* Bigfoot, which is entirely possible, knowing some of them .....)
