THEY GOT BIGFOOT!
Moderator: ericjon262
I saw the photos on ebaum's world. 2 pics of some rednecks drinking. 1 grainy pic of a guy in a bad costume stuffed in a giant cooler. If it really was a sasquatch or "Gigantropithicus"(sp?) it would either have been a global media frenzy or the government would have covered it up so fast it never would have made the news. If these schmucks really were professional bigfoot hunters with their own website, you'd figure they'd tranq the beast and pimp him out on national tv or something, recoup some of the $$ they'd spent hunting him down.
The fur looks wicked fake. Second, I have that cooler, and it's big (we use it for beer at BBQ's when we expect most of the 60 or so people in my wife's immediate family), but I can barely fit in it. I'm 6'2" 195lbs, that'd have to be a teenage bigfoot at best.
Also, there's teams of scientists scouring the pacific northwest, setting out cameras and all kinds of equipment, would figure they'd have better luck.
EDIT: thought it was a big ass cooler, I was wrong, is a freezer.

My favorite quote was from someone on, I think, theinquisitor. It was something along the lines of "DNA isn't gonna mean any kind of definitive answer; it's not like we already have a jar on a shelf labeled 'bigfoot' to compare it to."
Questions that seem blatantly obvious to me:
1. Regarding the fact that they claim there were 'many bigfoots' paralleling them while they loaded the corpse in the truck: Why the fuck are a bunch of "Bigfoot Hunters" out in the woods without a camera?
2. If there are, in fact, many examples of this mythical species in the woods of northern georgia, why are these schmucks holding a press conference in California instead of heading back out into the woods with a camera to get some more evidence to back up their claims?
Personally, I woulda tagged some trees in the area, left, then returned as soon as possible with a high res digital camera, a professional tracker, and enough tranquilizer darts to take down robert downey jr.

I disagree. If we compare it to human DNA and see it's similar but different - say only 95% compares - then we can say it's a true hominoid. I mean chimps compare what, 97% to human DNA. If it's like 99.9% then it's a human in a monkey suit. If it's less than 99% but more than 90% then we know it's an ape of some kind.lucky80 wrote:My favorite quote was from someone on, I think, theinquisitor.

99.4% actually. 97% is Gorillas.whipped wrote:hominoid. I mean chimps compare what, 97% to human DNA.
Easier to just count the chromasomes; if it's 24, it's related to great apes, if it's 23, it's hominid.
They also usually look for common ERV (Endometrial Retro virus) markers rather than overall makeup because then they can give an evolutionary divergence timeline.
Interesting aside is that there is a growing movement to reclasify chimpanzees as genus Homo.
Turns out that the simian 2A and 2B chromasome fused together in human DNA; 2a and 2b together mirror human chromasome #2 exactly.
