That looks a little like photoshop dolfan lol...think that 1500 lb pig killed in bama.

as an aside, that quote you have in your sig is hilarious. it makes no sense at all to me. kobe, badminton? how is that relative to phelps swimming several strokes well? to me it would be more akin to Kobe being a good defender, shooter, dribbler, etc instead of having just one facet to his game.

Who knows, but did you click on the link and read the comments? Apparently some dude touched it and it swears it's real and that it's being DNA tested in California right now and apparently the local news in north Georgia is running stories on it.

I don't know that I agree with the comparison to badminton either, but it still cracked me up.

In other mythical creature news, Have you guys heard of the Chupacabra sighting ? I saw the video (on the news) and boy, it looked like a dog from behind. However! It damn sure didn't move like a dog. It looks more like a horse running than a donkey.

Follow up story in the AJC: http://www.ajc.com/obits/content/metro/cla...ence.html?imw=Y

PALO ALTO, Calif. — Bigfoot lived in North Georgia, and his cousins are still there. That’s what a pair of Clayton County outdoorsmen claim.

But if they have definitive evidence to prove it, it wasn’t presented at a press conference here Friday where they had said they would make believers out of everyone. Dozens of mostly skeptical reporters showed up, lured by a flurry of interest in the story since pictures of the supposed discovery hit the Internet late last month.

Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer said a second round of DNA testing on what they claim is a dead 7-foot bigfoot they say they stumbled upon while hiking in June in North Georgia is still being completed.

Of three samples in a preliminary DNA test, one came back inconclusive, one contained traces of human DNA and one had traces of opossum DNA — probably from something the creature ate, they said.

They didn’t produce a body — that’s in a hidden location, they said, after being moved from a freezer that broke down a couple of times. They also wouldn’t say exactly where they found the creature, and where they claimed they saw a band of others watching them. And they won’t let anyone but their own hand-picked scientists examine the body.

Still “we’re now the best Bigfoot hunters in the world,” said Whitton, 31, of Ellenwood, who with Dyer, 28, wore ballcaps advertising their bigfootracker.com Web site.

The pair — Whitton is a Clayton County police officer who’s on disability after being wounded in a robbery investigation, and Dyer is a car salesman and tow truck operator — did produce two more still pictures Friday. A blurry one, they claimed, clearly shows one of the other bigfoot family members they saw. Another overlit, blurry photo shows what they claimed were the mouth and teeth of the dead Sasquach.

An autopsy on the animal is in the works, they said. Scientists are about to get involved, but one is on vacation until Monday and two others from Russia have yet to arrive, they said.

Tom Biscardi, a longtime Bigfoot enthusiast from Menlo Park, Calif., with whom the pair have teamed to promote their discovery, swears it isn’t a hoax.

“This is as real as you’re standing right where you are, sir,” Biscardi said.

Others said the story doesn’t have legs.

“This is becoming like an alien autopsy,” said Jeffrey Meldrum, a noted bigfoot researcher and a professor of anthropology at Idaho State University.

Whitton and Dyer haven’t done much to satisfy skeptics. They previously posted a video of the purported bigfoot on YouTube in which Whitton’s brother pretended to be a scientist, then announced it was all done in fun. And a recorded greeting on Whitton’s phone formerly claimed he and Dyer were leading expeditions to find not just bigfoot but also the Loch Ness monster and leprechauns.

Friday, Whitton said those were spoofs intended to throw off some of the “psychos” who had been bugging them since they appeared on a radio show touting their find. Dyer said they teamed up with Biscardi because “when you punch in Bigfoot (on the Internet), the first name that comes up is Tom Biscardi.”

Biscardi runs an Internet radio show and Web site devoted to bigfoot under the umbrella of a company called Searching for Bigfoot Inc. In 2005, Biscardi claimed he had come across a woman in Nevada who had captured two living bigfoot creatures. He charged about $15 for visitors to his Web site to see blurry streaming video claiming to show the captured creatures.

Friday, Biscardi said he subsequently determined the woman was “mentally ill.”

Why Georgia???? Couldn't the dude at least strayed a few miles over into NC and save us the embarassment?

I agree man. I have been working for months trying to dispel stereotypes/myths about all of the "hicks" and "rednecks" down in Ga (living in DC). This just completely discredits me and reinforces all that stuff with the rest of the country.
