The Sasquatch Sequel

Seriously, I haven't laughed this hard in a LONG time! Hilarious Ciber and others!

DUMB COMMENT:
"what if there aren't alot of these creatures left and they are extremely territorial? Or maybe the live in underground systems and only come up once in awhile for who knows what?
This would explain the lack of dead bodies. If they are vegetarians than...well... depending on what their favorite foliage is they just might have alot of food...."
Quote from ReK3ss

Like WTF???

Missing the real obvious with that comment - perhaps they all carry their own personal toilets with them also.... big herbivores normally leave big smelly pooh's, and 50 or 100 so called Big Feets are going to do a lot of poohing with all that junk foliage that they supposedly eat....

Or perhaps they leave all their pooh "underground" along with all their dead bodies.... yeah right - c'mon... are you believers actually conscious of what you are writing?


Dr Meldrum's book, "Sasquatch: Legend Meets Science" LMAO, thats just a money spinner - wakeup idiots...

Comment: The critical factor that these bigfoot morons never address is how a 7 foot tall 300 pound mammal is able to get enough calories to sustain itself in subzero temperatures. It would need about eight large double cheeze, double pepperoni pizzas per day to survive. Pizza Hut does not extend credit.

Now this dude has his eyes open and his brain working... the foliage up there is poor and this Big Foot idiot would need to spend like most of its waking life munching leaves to just about live, and like I just mentioned unless he carries his pooh with him (or her) the whole idea of Big Foot families not leaving any organic evidence behind them just goes beyond the ridiculous...

THERE IS NO BIG FOOT

Why people are so stupid as to believe all this Bigfoot, Lochness monster, Roswell, Chupacabras, Vampires crap is more perplexing than the answer to the meaning of the universe itself - it is not necessary to be a "scientist" to see how stupid this Bigfoot idea is... some of you are even quoting from the bible to prove it's existence - c'mon - Santa Claus has more right to exist than Bigfoot - Hollywood made films about him - so he must be real????

Repeat after me - there are no goblins, no ogres - no fairies (well actually there are fairies, they live in LA) there are no angels or devils, no easter bunnies (apart from those in Playboy Magazine) no inner earth, no secret reptile societies, no UFO's, no alien abductions, the pyramids were built by men, Atlantans didnt have cars, the Chariots of the Gods is the biggest fraud ever, there are no psychics but there are a lot of psychotics, there are no ghosts, only spirits (make mine a whiskey with a ginger beer please), 9/11 was real, not a conspiracy, Bush is an idiot, and so is the Pope, and muslims do still stone women to death... NOW THAT IS REALITY...

Bigfoot must be at least 60 years old by now, but wait, he must have a mate, and children - so is he screwing his own kids?? No wait, there are several families, so they all interbreed, then there must at least 50 to 100 of these buggers roaming around with nothing better to do, no wait, they are shapeshifters (dumbest assed comment from below) - Like errr - since just about every half ass on this planet now has a video cellphone, and with people turning up in just about square inch of the planet, no one can yet provide not one atom of proof or reason that this huge herd of Big Foot (do we say Big Foots or Big Feets?) exists... yet all you idiots can't seem to get it through your thick skulls that IT'S ALL JUST A HOAX - ITS NOT REAL - IT DOESNT EXIST. IT NEVER DID EXIST.

And it is even more pathetic that a damned so called scientist just cannot see the truth either - that for me proves he is NO scientist at all.

The collective human intelligence can be amazing, but it can only be as strong as it's weakest link, and unfortunetely looking at the sheer crap people believe in, and yes that does include religion, I can see that the trek to a better world will have to wait until the collective peoples stop trying to stick their noses up non-existent ass holes and wake up to reality.

There is no God, there are no pearly gates, there is no eternity floating around on a cloud (how boring that would be) there is no Santa Claus and there is no Bigfoot...

Just get over it and move on...

Yeah Meldrum is a respected scientist, and probably a good one for the most part, but scientists, even good ones, are still human and all humans make mistakes. Some of the best over the years, in various fields, have botched experiments and backed theories that were later shot down. Quite a few have claimed in the past that all major scientific discoveries or breakthroughs have already occurred, and then another major discovery comes along. I like that Meldrum and those like him are able to keep an open mind on a subject like this, but the simple fact that he is a scientist does not make him right. What about the many...MANY respected scientists out there that don't believe in Bigfoot. And yes, some of these people have also looked into the legend over the years. What is more believable and logical to me is that we do have far more people out there that find it entertaining, humorous, exciting, empowering, profitable, etc. to make up sightings, fake footprints, or invent elaborate hoaxes like this one (rampant on the net). Hoaxes happen all the time. Bigfoot is a particularly good one so it has received significant attention. The more attention a legend gets, the more people want to believe, and the more pranksters there are. This will increase the amount of stories, sightings, and more involved hoaxes. Obviously, some are better than others. It is not surprising then that when we consider all the people who want to believe, potential human error, the large numbers now aware of Bigfoot, the many people (searchers or not) that are in his supposed habitiat, and the hoaxers, that we have all the so-called evidence today. Also, what can't be overlooked is that in all of the major legends...Bigfoot, Nessie, Champ, UFO's...there has never been any indisputable evidence...body, DNA. There hasn't even been a really good, clear picture. Even today, the best and most famous pictures or videos are still the old/grainy ones, although there are more people around today and technology has improved drastically. What has also spread drastically is the amount of Bigfoot related encounters reported. The prominent Bigfoot websites report many of these across the country now. Didn't get too many stories of ape-like creatures running around Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Florida, or New Jersey prior to the Patterson film. Is it just coincidental that the overwhelming majority of reports are dated after this film was made public? This latest Bigfoot hoax was not even that elaborate and look how it exploded across the world. Just think what a very intelligent prankster, with a well thought out plan could do...or does it seem more likely that this has already happened? Seems far more likely and reasonable then an actual large, hairy, ape creature roaming our woods.

Well, the legend goes back much further than Wallace's lifetime. The natives of old called it sasquatch... Ya.. i tend to lean towards most modern sightings to be either misinterpertations of what is seen, fruad, and hopeful thinking. Still...a legend usually is found to have some basis in reality, some reason for its existence, and the sasquatch, Yeti, etc legends are worldwide and older than current hoaxers. As for the argument of a food source well,,, what if there aren't alot of these creatures left and they are extremely territorial? Or maybe the live in underground systems and only come up once in awhile for who knows what?
This would explain the lack of dead bodies. If they are vegetarians than...well... depending on what their favorite foliage is they just might have alot of food. I am not saying I am ready to just jump in and believe but sometiimes the act of disbelief can be just as ludicris as believing. Especially if it is really disbelief based on blind prejudice..

We do have a fossil record, the species was called Gigantopithacus and fossils as recent as only 200,000 years ago have been found in southeast Asia. Google Gigantopithacus.

The idea of bigfoot makes no sense whatever. Every spcie especially this large would need a large breeding population. There would be signs especially bones or carcasses left after thet had died. No such evidence has ever been found nor will it. They are the figment of our imagination. If we can find fossils millions of years old how come we have no such record?

The doubters are absolutely correct in that Ray Wallace, "the man who invented Bigfoot," was a known prankster who made a hobby out of carving wooden feet and leaving tracks in the mud from time to time. However, Meldrum's work (and remember, this is not just some dork living in his mother's basement, he's a respected scientist with a Ph.D. in primate locomotion, so gee, you think maybe he knows what he's talking about?) shows that the tracks he has casts of clearly indicate a living, moving, flexible foot bearing considerable weight, and with other distinct characteristics that no wooden foot could possibly replicate. Secondly, tracks have been found in so many different locations and terrains that it would be impossible for even an army of Wallace-like wooden-foot stompers to replicate them all.
