Bigfoot?

This brings up the footprint erosion issue, though.

Y'know, the one where &quot;bigfoot&quot; is seen casually strolling through an open part of the forest? Most write this off as a guy in a suit. But what those people don't know is the fact that computer analysis of the tape shows huge, bulging muscles under the &quot;skin&quot; of the &quot;creature.&quot; Suits that resemble this couldn't be built back when this footage was shot. Also, notice the way Mr. Foot moves his arms and legs. It's scientifically impossible to move your arms that far from your resting position.<br /><hr></blockquote><br /><br />Yes, I've read about this, and seen clips of the movie on TV specials. Yet I can't find the full movie anywhere. Nonetheless, some sites claim that on a frame of the movie, a zipper like object is visible, and they've shown pictures. It didn't really look like anything to me, and I think there's a good chance it's real.

Yeah, I can't stand it when people distribute these blurry-ass pictures and claim that they're "proof" of something.

[KyleRipman]

Yes...still pictures are very rarely proof of anything, it seems. Even with CG, completely convincing videos could be fake, of course. Good to know that most hoaxers don't have access to that.

In a Nickelodeon mag my lil'bro got it showed how to make a picture of bigfoot and nessie w/stuffed animals<br />

QUOTE That's one example.  If you see a light hovering around in the sky in the BCE era, than I think it's safe to say it's not of human origin.  I doubt out of all the googles of googles of googles of googles of space their is in our universe, that their isn't another single organism, even in the smallest and most pathetic form.[/quote] <br /><br />It's useless to attempt to explain something like this to people like Sarah.<br /><br />It's not as if your point on ignorance, odds, and ridiculous assumptions is exponentially close to opening a door that gets through to her; it's simply that she doesn't care about how many points you make.<br /><br />People like Sarah revel in their close-minded and limited intellectual digestive capabilities. They wear the fact that they'll not accept a differing logic on their sleeves, and act as if refusing to expand their insight is some kind of a symbolc victory. <br /><br />Any time spent trying to explain the error of their ways is time wasted.

Woah, you're agreeing with me.

Personally, I am not sure if I believe in bigfoot or not. The facts below I thought would be interesting to add to the conversation because they are in my opinion nothing short of fascinating.<br /><br />Anyway, the reason why no remains have been found is because nobody has tried to find them, yet. No serious work has been done to look for remains of a bigfoot and no one should come to think that they could possibly find remains without very hard work. If bigfoot is real then its no doubt a very elusive species, so obviously finding remains would be hard, not to mention the fact the bodies tend to decompose extremely fast in the wild.<br /><br />Its also believed that bigfoot may have a long lifespan and bury their dead. Combine that with exceptionally low levels of population (credible estimates would put the population somewhere around 2000-6000 perhaps even less) and the chances of finding any remains at all drops ever increasingly low. <br /><br />There aren't many people trying to photograph these animals, which is probably the main reason there isn't many photographs or footage. Bigfoot's are also especially elusive animals considering the fact that they have learned how to avoid humans over the centuries. They are supposedly highly intelligent so they would most likely stay away from central trails and rural areas in order to avoid humans. Most humans who do encounter them are not professional photographers but ordinary campers, which explains why most films are usually blurry. Also, most people who do encounter a large, frightening and potentially harmful animal usually flee instead of trying to capture them on film and get a nice clear shot in the process. Plus, some scientists think they may even be nocturnal. <br /><br />They (bigfoots) are believed by some to be gigantos -- a species of primate thought to have become extinct long ago -- who could have possibly crossed the bering land bridge into North America.

Where do you think we got that molded imprint? Trust me, the reason we haven't found remains is because of decomposition.<br /><br />[quote author=G-rex link=board=35;threadid=701;start=105#msg15154 date=1044126732]<br />Its also believed that bigfoot may have a long lifespan and bury their dead.
