#13  Oh, well, this one is completely OT, but I'm off to bed, so I'll indulge myself.

#12  Heh, I remember this one, an another furry being.

#11  That's too bad... the chupacabras could have chased away all those illegals flooding that region, for it is a well-known fact that these critters strike fear in the hearts of the most hardened and callous coyotes.

#9  Well, it's not-to-leave-this-forum, but chucacabras are a hoax invented so that the cryptozoology people in the SW would have a wild goose chase to go on and stop bothering all the pterodactyls.

#8  AS, you're family. Just stay away from this idiot, okay? Even broken clocks etc etc.

#7  Well, you'd be heard more easily if you could manage to rein in your chupacabra pal - but it's true those latin types do have their own ways.

#6  It's all a hoax, the footprints are fakes, the films are guys in ape suits...

...and there's therefore absolutely no reason for the rest of you to start pulling my hair out or sticking me with needles.

We're clear on this, right?

#5  There's an easy way to test his claims. Subject the hair and feces samples to DNA analysis.

The fact that there's no mention of such testing is all the evidence I need that the guy is not to be respected.

#4  Some got ridiculed, and some gave all.

It might be appropriate for us to have a moment of silence for Jordi Magraner, who was killed in Pakistan's NWFP shortly after the start of the war.

#3  I think the key word in the article is "tenured".

#2  ...he has collected what he says are footprints, hair and feces from the ape-man.

Unless the samples are crap (heh), hair and feces means DNA. That alone should tell you if you have a new species.

#1  It's been said of academia that "The battles are particularly fierce, because the stakes are almost infinitesimally small."
