Ketchum Now Extracting DNA From Giant Skeletons, Sets Sights On Shroud of Turin
Last December, we discussed the possibility that Dr. Melba Ketchum may be studying "giant skeletons". Giant skeletons have reportedly been found around the world. Critics have criticized Ketchum's Bigfoot DNA study suggesting contamination maybe the reason why her data shows a homo sapiens / unknown hominin hybrid species in North America. In a new Facebook posting, it seems Ketchum has taken the next critical step in proving that there is no contamination -- by extracting DNA from giant bone fragments supposedly from Bigfoot:
"We are working on teeth and bones....can't wait to see if we hit pay dirt so to speak!!! Have a variety of samples...we shall see what we get..... Dr. Pat, my second author is amazing. Even the Armed Forces lab was using his extraction techniques last time I heard (You know, they identify bones from MIAs and other lost servicemen and even identified the person in the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier from the Vietnam War). He taught me the technique, but he has the wonderful robots that make extractions more perfect than I could ever do manually. He has never failed to get DNA from bone. Even manually his techniques are SO fantastic that I was able to get usable DNA from cremated remains in two separate cases (one cat and one human) and I never thought we could do that, especially without robots. We recently extracted DNA from some 2000 year old tissue and hair and got good results (DNA profiles) using these extraction methods without having to amplify the DNA (WGA) or make a "library" like they did for the Neandertal and Denisovan hominins prior to sequencing. We have one sample that is highly degraded bone and it will be interesting if this will be the first time this extraction technique fails. I am betting on getting DNA though. The academics could sure learn a few things from forensic scientists about extracting good DNA from minimal samples and also how to determine if there is really contamination other than just assuming that there is... It is so awesome! I gotta love science!!!!"
Hot off the heels of all the excitement, Ketchum posted the following statement on her personal Facebook page expressing interest in extracting DNA from the Turin Shroud, the famed burial shroud that many Catholics say bears the face of Jesus has been dated back to Christ's time:
"While we are on the subject of Easter, wouldn't I LOVE to get blood sample and therefore a genome from the Shroud! I could die happy after doing this! The paternal side should be nothing less than a miracle if it is real. I know a technique that wouldn't harm the shroud when done property."

Rush owns the crappy bands you like.
DeleteLike the Stones, The Who, Zeppelin.
DeleteI guess they all can't have beak-nosed squeaky-voiced singers.
Working my way back to the top was tough. Success does not come easy. With this in mind, I dedicate this first to one of BE's legends Ken.
DeleteTake care bro.
MMG
You guys rock. Ken, I hope you are on the way up brother.
DeleteYo MMG, your mother needs to wash her dirty twat.
Deletewow, now she is trying to prove that the shroud of Turin has the dna of Jesus! The woman continues to impress AND amuse me! A definite DNA Goddess!!!
DeleteYou just cannot make this stuff up!
^ you can she was joking you Moron. You're the most Gullible Idiot ever!
DeleteNo, I am. I paid $30 for her study.
DeleteOnly the MoronIdiot guy would believe Ketchum was joking. His world has collapsed. Anally raped by a mystical monkey. I hope he dies soon.
Delete^ funny I thought u would die soon plus there are a lot of others who use "moron" Moron! What has collapsed ? In your fukin retarded brain yes, but otherwise no. Melba has done more to bring this to the world than others and the crap that you think is collapsing is the made up crap about her gullible dicks like you believe. See ya MORON!
DeleteYou're right. She has done more DAMAGE to the world of Bigfootery.Put that in your pipe and smoke that.
DeleteYYZ Bitchez!
DeleteI think it's beautiful they are teaching the retarded to use keyboards.
Delete^exactly like anon 6:16! Poor Tard Boy!
DeleteAnon 4:19. We've been over this. My mother passed away 12 years ago. She has no need to 'wash her twat'. Her 'twat' (or vagina for those unfamiliar with UK cussing) is now dust and therefore the hygiene issue is no longer a concern.
DeleteThank You.
MMG
Lots of retards here who won't admit she's cracked the bigfoot mystery, it's what we're all here for and what does she get, ridicule. Planned.
DeleteIt's pronounced YYZed.... Neil Peart stands alone

ReplyDeleteSweet taste of mediocrity.
DeleteJust because I'm a fraud doesn't mean you shouldn't donate money. Donate now.
ReplyDeleteLollers. Woman is seriously tooners.
Delete^ your the toon you Freak!
Deletedang lol
ReplyDeleteSweet baby jesus is a type of people.
ReplyDeleteI'm just relieved she's got "the wonderful robots" on the case; I think we can all breath a sigh of relief now.
ReplyDeleteJust wait til one of those wonderful robots leaves Melba with sore lady parts.
Delete^Wanker
DeleteI am glad she's got robots to extract becuase ya know after she was nap raped she has his Bfoot yogurt all over her hands and tits.
DeleteS N
Robots? ^ is this person Retarded? Star Trek Nerd!
DeleteIt's about time someone examined the large skeletons all over the world-especially the ones tucked away in museums and the indian reservations.
ReplyDeleteWanna see my giant boner?
DeleteTim Fasano.^^^
DeleteWell... I've just spent some time in the Danish Museum of Natural History. They actually have some bones there (still) labeled as bones from giants, but they all turn out to be from woolly mammoths, so now the journal says something like "bone from a giant (Mammoth)"
DeleteEverything big found in the past, is pretty much said to come from giants, just saying... but again some of the skeletons found could be BF, but i guess most of them is from aleready known megafauna animals.
Robots are the wave of the future--Go Skynet.
ReplyDeleteShe wants a sample from the Shroud of Turin so she can claim god was a lemur.
ReplyDeleteA frien of mine told me that Ketchum is extracting DNA from some poops in a jar.
ReplyDeleteI sent her a sample of explosive poo that originated from my anus after consuming an unnatural quantity of Mexican white cheese.
DeleteI was recently informed by a secret BF informant that Ms Ketchum has 'brown' under her fingernails.
DeleteMMG
You crazy fools! Bigfeet never poo, they don't want to leave signs behind them, they wanna cover their traces!
DeleteSo I would say they are a bit constipated...
DeleteWhat happens if at some point they don't succeed in holding on?
Trolls, very little people
DeleteYou have apparently never seen Trollhunter.
DeleteJust a question, why footers never laugh?
Deletebigfoot is no laughing matter. Neither is schizophrenia.
DeleteSo Jesus was a Sasquatch? Lol
ReplyDeleteOn the Third Day Christ rose from the Dead.....Is Melba trying to do the same
ReplyDeletething?
First of all it's not a shroud. It's a poncho that the Jesus left in the tractor shed.
ReplyDeleteSweet!!!
DeleteEWA
There is a better chance of me burning down the Vatican and exclaiming "Fooled ya! I'm a Protestant!!" than there is of her getting her conniving paws on the Shroud of Turin...
ReplyDeleteOh ya? Well, she published her very own paper so there!! She can do anything when she puts her mind to it!
DeleteJust Lemur Alone!
DeleteHate to be the one to rain on anyone's parade here but wasn't the Shroud exposed as a Medieval hoax when they carbon dated it like 20 years ago? It's funny that Melba made those comments about extracting DNA from those bones as that's actually what Dr Sykes is famous for, extracting DNA from very old human remains. Think he might know better than our favourite hoaxing cat vet.
DeleteHave you ever put your balls in a ball washer at the golf course and after about the third pump you realize it was for the golf balls?
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing. There should be a warning sign about that.
DeleteWell. I thought there might be some useful comments. Guess I was wrong.
ReplyDeleteOh how much you are serious culturally advanced
DeleteTry the BFF, there are a few suckers holding the bag(of shit); swimming against the tide and pretending she actually conducted a real study and published a real paper..lol..
DeleteThe rest of the world, including Melba, has moved on...
Thinking is definitely not your cup of tea.
DeleteThoughts are like assholes: everyone has one and hovers them over jars and than poops in those jars...
Delete4:17 please go away. You are not wanted here anyway. We trolls own this site now.
DeleteShawn - is this true?
DeleteYes. Yes it is.
Delete..lols..
DeleteCongrats trolls, you won. Now move on to the next thing to make fun of, like your inbred families and lost hopes and dreams you try to full fill by making fun on the internet because none of them came true
DeleteThat would be the normal procedure for clowns like these only the problem is they're under government contract to fool around here, so where normal trolls would get tired and move on these bubbas stay for the whole ride.
DeleteYou are an idiot ^^^
DeleteWelcome to the Decline of our Civilization
ReplyDeleteReally? You come to a Bigfoot site and preach that?
DeleteOK THEN.
True - I came to the site for intelligent discussion on an interesting topic - what a fool am I!
DeleteOk, you start. What intelligent comments do you have to contribute on this topic?
DeleteHow about why can the DNA from multiple sites, tested in different labs produce the same results?
DeleteIDK,you tell me oh Great One.
DeleteBecause Bigfoot has existed for just as long if not longer than modern man. Sorry its the truth, ask any Native American, I trust their stories over any the Gov tries to tell me is History.
Deletewell said, sir, well said.
DeleteI hate the gubment so much.
Delete9:13 you got that right. It's long past any fun for the troll guard hanging around it's a tiresome job for them, they're some tiny back office fraction at the Pentagon or someplace like that.
DeleteLunaticfoot
ReplyDeleteGashsquatch.
DeleteGashsquatch,those are the best kind.
DeleteActually she is doing DNA analysis on a piece of toilet paper that bigfoot wiped his ass with. The title of this article should have read Shroud of a Turd. Not shroud of Turin
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't surprise me.
ReplyDeleteThese footers deserve to be banded in with the looney toon paranormal types.
^ why? You make no sense!
Delete4:52, give up, nobody thinks that is a good joke nor do they care about aliens this is a bigfoot blog
DeleteFunny thing is, Bigfoot probably is an alien which explains the jokesters parade 'round these parts.
DeleteBLOBFISH, BLOBFISH, EVERYWHERE!!!
ReplyDeleteI think there's one on the hill!
ReplyDeleteI KNOW there's one on the hill.
DeleteWait!...No nothing on the hill.
DeleteExcept a fool - you.
DeleteI don't beleive a damn thing that comes out if her psycho mouth
ReplyDeleteNobody cares what comes out if your mouth.
DeleteGet it? I made fun of you being dumb! HA!
ARREST THAT WOMAN!
ReplyDeleteBRING HER TO JUSTICE NOW!
Jesus is the bigfoot that boinked Melber.
