    Sounds practical to me. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to re-visit my W-2 form, remember how much I paid the Feds this last year and cry myself to sleep.

    It may be fast but you will always have half a second of lag, just from the distance alone. Not very practical when gaming. I predict we will see special moon-servers. There will be Skyping with your family from the moon, but you can forget about this on Mars.

    You can even forget about browsing the internet on Mars; It takes about 14 minutes on average for a radio wave (with the speed of light) carrying your HTTP-request to travel from Earth to Mars. Then another 14 minutes for the radiowave carrying your requested data back to Mars.

    So, unless we find some other means of modifying a field for communication (gravity field? Very hard to do.. and not safe in terms of eavesdropping), computer networks will largely remain a local planetary affair. But I guess this is kind of romantic; Imagine getting the whole Earth internet-update in your Martian network and getting all the new pics from 9GAG all at once!

      Thanks professor. I was thinking of relocating to a low Earth orbit before I read your post.

      Yeah, no way I'm going to Mars now. Screw that.

Rumors abound on whether or not Finding Bigfoot will continue, but hopeful news is on the horizon. Snake Oil Productions, the production company responsible for Finding Bigfoot, is seeking a permit for filming in the Monterey, Virginia area. Monterey lies between the Monongahela and George Washington National Forests. Definitely a good place to look for bigfoot. We can only speculate if this means Finding Bigfoot has been signed on for additional seasons, or if perhaps a new bigfoot show is in the works. We'll keep you updated on any further announcements for sure.

Samurai Chatter: Have you used it in the field?

Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Suzie M., a sasquatch enthusiast. Crypto-linguists believe that the species known Bigfoot/Sasquatch/Yeti/Yowie ect speak and understand a complex language, which by all accounts seems to stem from Asia. When one listens to it there is definitely a sense of it being Chinese or Japanese. It is a very odd mix of sounds, clicks and what could be actual words. This is the reason some experts are looking into the Asian dialect theory, some have said it could be a lost dialect, which was carried from Asia by the Bigfoot species that colonised America.

Bigfoot injured by a forest fire was taken away and hidden by the authorities, not even Robert Lindsay can top this story

This story was circulating the internet way back in 2004, or maybe as far back as 1999. Back when everybody was on 56k dial-up modems and a "Facebook" was just a regular book with directory listing of names and headshots. This story was so disturbing and so shocking that nobody believed it at the time. It was the Robert Lindsay " Bear Hunter: Two Bigfoots Shot and DNA Samples Taken " story of the time. And like Robert's Bear Hunter story , this witness didn't have a name. The only thing known about the witness is that this person was a government employee, anonymous of course. The author of the story was a science teacher named Thom Powell who believe it really happened and that the whole story was an elaborate cover-up. Powell said the anonymous government employee alerted the BFRO about a 7.5 feet long/tall burn victim with "multiple burns on hands, feet, legs and body; some 2nd and 3rd degree burns". Sadly, there was no DNA samples taken from
