Last week there was a lot of buzz online regard­ing the dis­cov­ery of a
dead sasquatch.
I’m sure you prob­a­bly heard about it.

I watched the news con­fer­ence led by the two guys in north­ern Geor­gia
(the state, not the coun­try) who had allegedly dis­cov­ered the
body while out hik­ing. After the news con­fer­ence, I had my doubts.
The ‘expert’ that these men had recruited started blink­ing really fast
when directly ques­tioned about cer­tain top­ics, and it led me to believe
he was lying. Then he showed some blurry pho­tos and didn’t offer any
real proof that what they claimed hap­pened actu­ally did. If you have a
dead big foot sit­ting in your garage, even a yokel from Geor­gia could
take a decent pic­ture with a dig­i­tal camera.

Appar­ently the men who dis­cov­ered the body sold it to some researchers.
This is where the impe­tus behind the hoax comes in. Once the
researchers decided to unfreeze it, the truth came out. A
dog­gone mon­key suit!

But on the other hand, don’t you love mon­key suits? I remem­ber my
grand­mother made me one as a hal­loween cos­tume when I was about 10.
Actu­ally, it was a gorilla suit, but it was still fun. It was the only
gorilla in the neigh­bor­hood who wore sneakers.
