Searching for Bigfoot?
August 14, 2008 | Society
Well…your search may be over.
I check out Google Trends sporadically and today one of the top searches is for Bigfoot, and variations thereof.
Although www.searchingforbigfoot.com appears to be down just now due to an exceeding bandwidth limit the news seems to be that the body of a bigfoot-esque creature has been found in Georgia, shoved into a freezer, and then evidence and DNA proof will be giving in a press conference tomorrow.
Not sure what the DNA proves really. That it is the same DNA as another Bigfoot they haven’t found yet? Or just that it’s a primate?
Who knows; I’m fairly sure it’s just a nice hoax - but it’s creating a buzz and will be an interesting story to keep following.
Geeknews has a decent sized image that I can’t be bothered stealing if you wish to check it out.

In a freezer?? did the Hendersons tire of their family friend and freeze him?
(it would be kinda sad, i think, if this turned out to be real and the mystery was solved. Maybe it will simply David Bellamy.)
Yep. Already knew about it.

Unfortunately, Alex (the Curator of the Museum of Hoaxes) is on a short holiday for the weekend. So any updates from him about this will have to wait until next week.
Guess I’ll actually have to check the news for Bigfoot updates.
Surprise, surprise. It was a frozen, rubber suit.
