Bigfoot in Georgia -- Not! Not!

| 1 Comment | 0 TrackBacks | View blog reactions
A few days ago we learned that DNA from the "bigfoot" specimen in Georgia came from a human and an opossum. Today we learn that Tom Biscardi, the guy who sponsored the news conference in Palo Alto announcing the "discovery" and paid "a substantial amount of money" for the corpse, admits that he was duped. "It was just a total scam," he said.

Well, Mr. Biscardi, my offer still stands. If you really did pay "a substantial amount of money" for a frozen gorilla suit, there's a bridge in Brooklyn you might be interested in buying. I'm sure I could get you a good deal.

USA Today has more details.
