Pod people...

I realize I'm tired, I have not been sleeping well with my husband being in Puerto Rico, you'd think I'd not miss the snoring since it used to irritate the hell out of me, but it's been too quiet so I have not been able to sleep. Then of course the fact that I do have a bit of a twisted mind...Anyway, when I saw this phrase, moving pods I couldn't help think about Pod People...Not the Dark Crystal ones, but the Invasion of the Body Snatcher type.

Gee Bigfoot turns out to be a hoax and Biscardi plays innocent...

Bigfoot in a freezer turns out to be rubber suit.

The hoax was discovered after an "expedited melting process," Kulls wrote. "A break appeared up near the feet area ... as the team and I began examining this area near the feet, I observed the foot which looked unnatural, reached in and confirmed it was a rubber foot."

Kulls said he contacted Tom Biscardi, the self-described "Real Bigfoot Hunter" who has been searching since 1971 for the creature of legend and appeared alongside Whitton and Dyer at the news conference.

"Later that day, Tom Biscardi informed us that both Matthew Whitton and Ricky Dyer admitted it was a costume," the posting said.

Yet, let's look at what Biscardi said at the time of the press conference:

Biscardi showed reporters two blurry photos, claiming one was the mouth of the "creature" while the other was another creature running through the Georgia woods. The men claimed they "stumbled on the creature," but would not reveal more because they were concerned about it being an "endangered species."

Biscardi reiterated his invitation to FOX News Channel anchor Megyn Kelly to come to Georgia and view the body, and plugged his Internet radio show.

He said there wouldn't be anything more revealed Friday, but promised that he would "assemble" a group of scientists to examine the alleged corpse.

It gets worse for one of the fraudsters, according to Fox, he's now out of a job:

As for Whitton, he doesn't seem to have a job to come back to in Georgia.

Asked for comment on Officer Whitton, Clayton County, Ga., Chief of Police Jeffrey Turner, corrected FoxNews.com. "You mean ex-officer Whitton."

"As soon as we saw it was a hoax," Chief Turner explained, "I filed the paperwork to terminate his employment."

Turner said he hasn't heard from Whitton, and that he was mystified at the former officer's involvement in such a blatant scam.

"He was a real go-getter," Turner said, citing Whitton's wounding in the line of duty earlier this summer while apprehending a suspect who had allegedly shot a woman in the head. "For someone to do a complete three-sixty like that, I can't explain it."

Let's hope the net rumors that they got $50,000 from Biscardi is true, sounds like they might have some legal bills...

Will it turn out to be bigfoot or a big hoax?

That's the question we are left with when you read Body proves Bigfoot no myth, hunters say. There's a photo but it looks like someone wearing a bad gorilla suit. Yet according to:

Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, a pair of Bigfoot-hunting hobbyists from north Georgia, say they found the creature's body in a wooded area and spotted several similar creatures that were still alive.

I guess it's creating quite a stir, and according to Fox News the pair are getting death threats from "Sasquatch fanatics" who'd you think would be happy if it is proven true. Unless they are mad because they too see too much resemblance to this Halloween costum.



So let's compare!

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Reserve spokesman Tom Mackenzie told the Associated Press his agency isn't taking the claim seriously and won't investigate.

"It's not on endangered species on any list that we've got," he said.

Hoax or not, Tom Biscardi, a Bigfoot “expert” who has inspected the carcass and claims that it is genuine, has a financial interest in the myth, selling Bigfoot merchandise from his website and it appears he's having a very good few days.
