#4 Come on! Everyone knows by now that Saddam Hussein is a myth, conjured up to justify Bush's war of aggression against the peaceful terrorists in the middle east!

That guy y'all see on TV waiting for the trial? He's an actor from New Jersey; real good at playing ethnic types...

#5 It looks like he'll have so many reporters and whatnot along for the ride to create a large enough racket to scare any bigfeet away.

#9 As I said a while back, there are strange manlike creatures roaming the woods, mountains, and deserts...

And even stranger creatures looking for them!

#11 Muck, if I see a picture of an alleged chupacabra that doesn't turn out to be a coyote with mange I will be suprised.

Earlier in the century most of the predators in places like Texas were pretty much killed off, and a disproportionate share of the predator "niche" has subsequently been taken up by coyotes and/or coyote/domestic dog halfbreeds... such that their fraction of the "predator" niche is very large. And therefore their population density is large, and they're more vulnerable to diseases like mange, which are endemic in the population.

This causes not just hair loss, but developmental problems and a loss of health, increaced opportunistic secondary infections, etc., thanks to the mange... and when one of these poor animals winds up crawling under someone's house and dying, the picture gets sold to Coast to Coast AM, and Whitley Streiber comes down to have genetic testing done, but you never hear the results back, probably because they've decided that a result of "run of the mill coydog who got sick" is too boring for their audience.

I suspect a similar factor may be at work in Bigfoot sightings themselves, in that some of them may be caused by out-of-place sightings of known-to-science species instead.

Say, gorillas, chimpanzees, or orangutans instead.
