CNN monkeys around
So, CNN decided they need to refute this story about the Taliban training attack monkeys. Because this is the kind of thing that needs clarification. I mean, seriously CNN? Is it really that slow of a news day? Or do you really think that little of your audience's intelligence? (more...)
Bigfoot in San Antonio?
That's what some homeless folks are saying they saw, and the cops they talked to said they were scared, but sober. Hmmmmm. That's how far from SFBR (the think tank that Tom Slick founded and home of the Southwest Primate Research Center)? . UPDATE: Loren Coleman has posted more details about the events in San Antonio, including photos [...]
Bigfoot Jumps the Shark (?)
This Thursday, I'm just wondering... is MK Davis the Andy Kaufman of the Bigfoot world? Is the Bluff Creek Massacre story his slow-burn version of wrestling Freddie Blassie? I really hope so. I'd love to be able to actually sit back and comfortably chuckle at the strangeness of it all. I mean, personally, I see the same twisted logic in the [...]
Lessons from the police; tasering cripples is good, bestiality is better, and if you must grope your server don’t dare tip her.
I have been remiss in my Thursday duties of late. I realize this and I'm sorry. I'll say only that "real life" (i.e. the stuff you have to do to pay those pesky bills) has been very busy of late and beg your pardon for my slacking. But I'm here, a day late and a dollar short as my dad would say, and I've got some interesting links. And by [...]
Thursday ghost stories
Howdy all, and happy Thursday! I know that I've been out of the loop for the last couple of weeks. After my trip back home to visit family, I needed some time to recuperate. Then I threw myself into some writing about some family experiences and ghost stories that I hoped would be my next Thursday column. Unfortunately another Thursday came and [...]
Because it’s Thursday Monkey Business
As we start winding up (or down) for the weekend, let's take a moment to indulge in a little monkey business, just because it's Thursday. Let's start with this bit from Dallas, TX where a contractor doing lot work for a Montessori school uncovered an out of place primate skull that bears a bit of a resemblance to the skull of a small [...]
Southern Fried Bigfoot premieres tonight
While the word Bigfoot usually conjures images of the deep forests and mountains of the Pacific Northwest, there is also a rich tradition of southern hominid sightings. Often known by various local names, the southern Bigfoot doesn't get as much attention (or respect) as his northwestern cousins, but his impact on the local people and their lore [...]
Documentaries & Comic Books & Bigfoot, Oh My!
The latest issue of the cryptozoologically themed Image Comics title Proof (issue # 18, on stands now) features a short interview with Sean Whitley, the writer/director of the forthcoming documentary Southern Fried Bigfoot, which discusses sightings of the Skunk Ape, Honey Island Swamp Monster, the Fouke Monster, and other southern [...]
The Great Ape Behavioral Parallel, part 3
(For Parts 1 and 2 please visit the TBRC website at www.texasbigfoot.org) by Michael C. Mayes and Jeremy D. Wells A widely publicized study, authored by Mathias Osvath, a Ph.D. candidate at Lund University, seems to indicate some startling information about the intellectual capacities of the chimpanzee. In particular, Osvath studied the [...]
Bird Beaks, Bible Belt Biology, and Bigfoot
Next Thursday, February 12, marks the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth. Few figures (if any) have had a greater impact on the course of scientific discourse and understanding, religious dialogue, and continuing public controversy. This includes the controversy surrounding cryptids. For some people, Darwinian theories are [...]
