Woodbooger Farm on youtube searches his property for evidence after he caught a bigfoot peeking in his window, and a couple others hanging out in the yard. Check out what he discovers:
I wasnt going to extend this courtesy after the last blunder that required my valuable time to resolve. The title here again is misleading. Bigfoot does not exist so to label something as a consequence of bigfoot is misleading and I would say highly unethical. I have emailed the account to let them know of this critical mistake. Lets keep bigfoot in the context of fiction. This hilarious topic really gets ruined when people start pretending its a real monster. Anyway you are welcome.
Population Clines of the North American Sasquatch As Evidenced By Track Lengths and Estimated Statures By George W. Gill
"This article notes that there is a striking degree of internal consistency amongst reports of purported Sasquatch sightings and footprints. The author applies zoological rules of distribution to the reported stature, track length, and fur colour of the creatures and finds that the conformity of sighted characteristics to these rules is high. He concludes that such evidence argues against considering all such sightings as hoaxes and that it supports the possibility that these beings are natural phenomena." http://woodape.org/index.php/about-bigfoot/articles/92-population-clines-of-the-north-american-sasquatch-as-evidenced-by-track-lengths-and-estimated-statures
From: Manlike Monsters On Trial: Early Records and Modern Evidence, Marjorie Halpin & Michael M. Hames (eds) (University of British Columbia Press, 1980.)
"George W. Gill has excavated and studied several hundred human skeletons from tropical west Mexico, Easter Island, and the Great plains of North America. His travels have carried him to 45 countries and all 50 states, where he has been able to develop notes and slides on many peoples and cultures. Dr. Gill has developed osteological collections which form parts of the national museum collections of Mexico and Chile, served as scientific leader of National Geographic Society's 1981 Easter Island Anthropological Expedition, and has been active in skeletal identification for law enforcement agencies as a Fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. He has served as Secretary and Chairman of the Physical Anthropological Section of the AAFS and as a member of the Board of Directors of the national certification board for forensic anthropologists."
Dr. Gill is considered by many to be the foremost world expert on native American and western forensic anthropology.
There is nothing in biological research, or scientific theory, that confirms that verified scientific data is by default irrelevant, if it is as of yet unused to track and classify what's leaving that verified scientific data.
Fiction doesn't manifest into 60 years of track impressions, studied by a long list of scientists, notably the likes of a world expert on Native American and western forensic anthropology.
My burden is to demonstrate, via idiots like you, how ignorant and perversely denialist stances are futile when showing that enthusiasts have plenty of reliable scientific evidence to warrant such enthusiasm.
If a critic asserts that there is evidence for disproof, he is making a claim and therefore also has to bear a burden of proof... And with the manner in which you're safety netting and repeating yourself, I'll take that a proper roasting.
A knew species may be reliably documented, as long as evidence is scientifically repeatable. Classification may elude researchers due to endangered numbers to harvest a specimen, a lack of expedition to source a cadaver, etc.
Research does not start with classification. If something isn't reported to exist, or shown to exist on some reliable level, then people are unaware of any such creature's potential existence to study, and efforts to classify cannot occur.
Your version of how biological research works flies in the face of innumerable studies, and is the cart before the horse... Not to mention plain stupid.
"I should reiterate my acknowledgement that the conventions of zoological taxonomy require a type specimen to establish the existence of a new species." ~Jeffrey Meldrum
Jeffrey Meldrum: "I should reiterate my acknowledgement that the conventions of zoological taxonomy require a type specimen to establish the existence of a new species."
Jeffrey Meldrum: "I should reiterate my acknowledgement that the conventions of zoological taxonomy require a type specimen to establish the existence of a new species."
The Bili Ape required no such classification prior to expeditions bein put in place to document one via footage. Plus, I believe Jeff is referring to a potential new classification of a new species, as opposed to whether the creature exists pre-classification.
Sorry Stuey, nobody's arguing against a body... You're trying so hard now that you're putting words in people's mouths. But we never need a particular race, or a tribe member killed and examined like an animal when we come across a lost tribe in the jungle, for example.
And look how much you digress... There's still scientific data studied by the likes of world experts on Native American and western forensic anthropology, annihilating any "fiction" nonsense.
Joerg makes these kinds of stupid mistakes all the time. It's pretty sad that he's been maniacally obsessed with this subject for the last five years (and probably much longer) and he doesn't even understand the most basic concepts regarding the subject matter! Ha Ha Ha!
Joerg, you should send an email to Medrum, detailing your reasons for disagreeing with his statement. I'll even volunteer to profread your email so Meldrum doesn't recognize you as the illiterate imbecile that you are! Ha ha ha!
Your shoddy interpretation of both how biological field research works, as well as what Meldrum means by classification, isn't really my problem to send any emails about Stuey. Maybe you could email Dr. Gill and run your thousands' year old, culture hopping hoaxing conspiracy past him?

True or false, ikdummy?
IktomiThursday, September 14, 2017 at 6:46:00 AM PDT Good god, what a meltdown... Ha ha ha!!
False... A knew species may be reliably documented, as long as evidence is scientifically repeatable. Classification may be elduded due to endangered numbers to harvest a specimen, a lack of expedition to source a cadaver, etc.
Research does not start with classification. If something isn't shown to exist, then people are unaware of any such creature to study, and efforts to classify cannot occur.
There's no interpretation ikdummy. You were simply asked if Meldrum's statement was true or false. You not only declared it false, but stated that it was "child's level stuff."
Now start writing that email to Dr. Meldrum explaining to him how he doesn't understand "child's level stuff." Ha Ha Ha!!!
Meldrum's statement is indeed false, should it be in respect to the legitimacy of a creature's existence pre-classification. It is however not at all in relation to that, and in fact only an interpretation on your part that is somehow props up your cart before he horse drivel.
... And of course, you'd never be accountable for such silly conspiracy theory nonsense... You can't even grow a pair to even attempt to try and substantiate such silliness when asked to around here.
Just like your "proud racism", you never seem to want to stick by your wild assertions. What a phoney.
Sorry bro... But if what other people thought worried me all that much, I'd be obsessing on Internet comment sections catered for the antithesis of this blog, and pushing what I think on other people.
If someone comes here telling me how to think, I'll put them in their place. Simple.
There are thousands of biologists in US forests studying the flora and fauna every single day yet not a single one has stumbled on a bigfoot. Really makes you think.
Good point there 8:06. The "evidence" so to speak is always just beyond credible. And before you ask, yes the evidence has been tested by legitimate scientists. Bryan Sykes and Todd Disotel have both DNA tested samples that were put forward by people who were adamant that the sample came from a bigfoot because they saw the bigfoot leave the sample (hair snagged on fence etc). Yet all of these samples have turned out to be from known animals. So from this we can gather there is something else going on. This is a psychological phenomenom where people are seeing known animals such as bears and embellishing the sightings into a fantastical forest monster
Sasq'ets hair is notorious for not having medulla to sequence DNA. Learn the f'n basics... For crying out loud. Geneticists are only ever as good as the samples they are given. Might I add, that not even the entire amount of samples tested to date are a fair reflection on the thousands of years these hominins have been reported, as well as the 60 years physical evidence has been documented... To state otherwise is a pathetic attempt at closer.
Sykes has also tested hair samples that have 12 other examples of morphological congruity, that when successfully tested, had a match to a feral human from Uzbekistan. Sasq'ets could be so close genetically to us, that their DNA might merely indicate archaic as a genetic difference.
Lastly... A lack of DNA sequence has no bearing whatsoever on the physical evidence documented over the past two decades, and is plain stupidity to reduce the latter as "beyond credibility" when it has a while branch of science outside of genetics in verifying it.
What's a psychological phenomena, is the depths of pathological denial a group of obsessed pseudosceptics resort to.. instead of simply finding one little scientifically sound reason to not consider the mounds of readily viewable evidence.
Hey Iktomi be sure to tell these lumpbrains how the feet of that 8 foot skeleton matches those special foot bones you talk about in all those plaster casts you submit as evidence of species, this is the case closed Bigfoot body, go ahead and tell them, oh joyous day for humanity, and you and Meldrum sure showed everyone, yep, just go ahead and tell them
The report of that skeleton doesn't go into detail about any number of its anatomical features... But an 8 foot skeleton with an archaic, sloping skull is good enough for anyone who remembers that 8 foot hairy hominins with archaic sloping skulls have been reported in the US for thousands of years.
Oh, I'm sorry you said the report didn't go into the skeleton's anatomical features and then you went ahead and said it had an archaic sloping skull, where did it say that? I missed that, or is that just your opinion based on that old black and white photo you claim is a Bigfoot skeleton? And those feet seem to look like regular human feet but I'm nowhere near the skeleton expert you are
Yep! The skull being one anatomical trait that anyone without an anthropological background would notice right away, andnonenlf few things that is documented about the skeleton's appearance.
Oh yes, didn't you claim that the photo was digitally altered in 1933??
Oh so they said that it has an archaic sloping skull? Who said that it has an archaic sloping skull please? I missed that. I never said that photo was digitally altered but now you seem to be saying that, do you know if it isn't? Do you have the original photo?
An Ancient Ozark Giant Dug Up Near Steelville, Mo. Strange discovery made by a boy looking for arrowheads, gives this Missouri Town an absorbing mystery to ponder.
"Steelville, Mo. June 11, 1933 His brow, too, was anything but noble. Height of forehead, once popularly believed to be a sort of hallmark of high or low intelligence, has been largely discredited as such an indicator now, so this cave man's sloping brow may not necessarily be regarded as a stamp of low mentality. But it may be set down, anyway, as one of the cranial characteristics which fit very neatly into the general "pinhead" picture. Of course he had considerably more above the eyes and ears than such extremely primitive types as the Peking man, Piltdown man and the Neanderthaloids."
"As part of the Search for the Lost Giants show, Jim and fellow researcher James Clary investigated the following account that had this heading: "An Ancient Ozark Giant Dug Up Near Steelville: Strange discovery made by a boy looking for arrowheads, gives this Missouri Town an absorbing mystery to ponder." From The Steelville Ledger (June 11, 1933): "…he turned up the complete skeleton of an 8 foot giant.
The grisly find was brought to Dr. R. C. Parker here and stretched out to its enormous length in a hallway of his office where it has since remained the most startling exhibit Steelville has ever had on public view." While reading through the microfilm at the Steelville library three reports of the find where uncovered including the photo that shows Les Eaton, a 6-foot man, laid out next to the 8-foot skeleton in Dr. Parkers office." http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/gigantes/esp_gigantes_15.htm
... Meaning you see the original photo in actual library archives on national TV.
"With all his magnificent stature, this primitive chief, if chief he was, really was something of a pinhead. The skull measures only 20 inches in circumference—a pretty small skull, even for a man of normal height. The heads of most average sized men measure from 22 to 28 inches in circumference. A 20 inch dome perched on the shoulders of a giant eight feet tall must have looked tiny indeed."
Yeah ikdummy, a skull 1/4 the size smaller than a normal human head is really consistent with your reports of bigfoot! Next time try actually reading the hoax reports before you you copy and paste them here! Ha ha ha!
Actually... Sasq'ets heads are very commonly reported to be far smaller than their bodies, and way out of proportion. In some parts of the South for example, they're even referred to as "no necks".
But wait a sec, you've also stated that one of the "archaic" bigfoot traits of Khwit's skill is that it's so massively huge!
"*bigger all round *bigger teeth *bigger jaw bone"
Now you're saying that bigfoot heads are actually smaller than normal human skulls? Or do you just spout off whatever BS pops into your feeble mind at the moment? Ha ha ha!
So you're admitting that the tiny Steelville skull was not "bigfoot." Thanks for finally being somewhat reasonable. I'm glad that we've made some progress today! =~)
... An 8 foot tall skeleton with an archaic skull... Will serve just fine as an example of specimen in a country where 8 foot tall hominins with archaic faces have been reported for thousands of years...
Now please, tell me all about how this photoshop in 1933??
... And to answer your comment about Khwit's skull properly, this skull wasn't any bigger than that of any other modern human skull... But had more robust and exaggerated features like that briefly listed above. This cannot be said for the 1933 skull, because we don't have an equivalent study. It can however be assumed to be the case, given its archaic morphology that IS mentioned.
Sorry Stuey, I've never claimed that. Though I don't doubt that very large skulls have been discovered... The available records of the remains I'm aware of, don't attest to anything different.
For the sake of argument I would like to point out that Nathan Reo and some others like to state that the giant squid has been long reported but only recently discovered which is absolutely false. The giant squid has been well known since the late 19th century. In addition lktomi made some comparisons in a previous post:
"• We have the same scientific documentation of relict hominids and giant squid reports & remains being found in the 1800 century."
I would argue far from the same. Professor Addison Emery Verrill of Yale University who examined, dissected and described them from 1874 - 1882, wrote no fewer than twenty-nine scientific papers in which the giant squid was discussed. In addition we have some of those same squid remains today in collections. Currently there are close to a dozen complete bodies of giant squids in various museums today. I may ask - where can the remains of Bigfoot be found?
"• The next time we hear of a stranding of giant squid was in the 1960's when guess what? We have the Patterson Gimlin footage!"
Not true. We have had many carcasses found all during the 20th century and they are documented.
"• We then have to wait until 2004 until a living example of giant squid is documented, to which time we have 60 years of physical, video and audio evidence pointing to the existence of a bipedal primate that is twice the size of normal human primates; a far greater frequency of evidence than the giant squid enjoyed to that point."
The first time a live giant squid was recorded was in 2006 after scientists hooked one and brought it to the surface. In 2012 it was finally filmed in it's natural element swimming freely. So we now have film AND over 150 years of actual PHYSICAL material we can hold in our hands and examine. To state that Bigfoot "has a far greater frequency of evidence to that point" is ridiculous. In addition it is far harder to capture images of a deep sea, elusive animal in the vastness of the oceans than trying to capture images on land of an unknown primate said to be twice as big as a normal human.
You may stand with your Bili Ape argument if you wish but you have no case comparing the giant squid with Bigfoot.
You're correct Curious. And this has all been pointed out to ikdummy about a dozen different times and yet he keeps making the same debunked argument. There is just no getting through to someone who believes in something with such religious fervor.
"I would argue far from the same." ... I'm sure you would. However, you're not very good at remembering your shortfalls, Mr Curious. For example, there were innumerable 7-8 foot tall human remains located all over the U.S around about the time Professor Addison Emery Verrill was doing his thing. The difference is that the anthropological elite of the time are on record stating that no such remains would be studied.
"Not true. We have had many carcasses found all during the 20th century and they are documented." ... Really? How many is that then Mr Curious? I'm curious to know how many exactly? Comparatively, we have stuff like this too; http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/gigantes/esp_gigantes_15.htm ... photos and all. So far an exact mirroring of evidences!
So! When we drop the pathological denial for five minutes, and remember that Sasq'ets had been filmed long ago in 1967, we have a comparative frequency of actual PHYSICAL material we can hold in our hands and examine... for example, if I hit you around the head with a track cast, I'm sure you'd feel the physical affects of that cast.
If something looks like a human, I thinks like a human, and it can evade like a human. I'm not an academic in biology, but I think I'm safe in suggesting something that evades in social groups like humans do, is gonna trump a squid. In fact, I'd be more than qualified to do so... As I'm the one referencing long standing physical evidence that wouldn't be there, if Sasq'ets wasn't. It is therefore plausible to state that it evades as well as it does, because it's existence isn't a question as a result of that level of evidence.
According to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN), a zoologist when describing a new species should clearly designate a single specimen as its Holotype (Article 73A).
Indeed. However... That does nothing to denounce the physical sign of that species, leading up to a conclusive stage of research that is classification. I'm not expecting you to get this any time soon, but it's fun making you look silly all the same. It's odd... dMaKeR had the same prolonged blonde moment as well?
For pity sake, you moron, would you please learn how to construct a sentence properly? Reading your attempts to fancy up your rhetoric is like sandpaper on the brain.
That's odd... Someone else has been chasing me around for weeks about my alleged poor grammar? You also have the exact same cart before the horse logic about classification? And you just so happen to chime in to respond in minutes as you're name's published?
Sorry Stuey/dMaKeR... But A lack of an effort to use the physical evidence for tracking purposes, does not disprove the existence of the mammal leaving that evidence. That's a negative proof fallacy.
What's more, is that not anyone with ten times the intelligence & credentials has ever managed to explain away that level of physical evidence. Meaning your unqualified, uneducated opinions mean squat against a list of PhD's and academics I can reference.
You are not taking into taxonomic consideration pre-classification which conclusively assigns species-specific nomenclature to said specimen prior to expeditionary discovery via sourcing with the aforementioned pre-evidence.
I haven't the time of day to argue every point with someone who's mind will never be changed but I will offer these points:
So there are many 7-8 foot tall skeletons found back then. Does a 7-8 tall skeleton absolutely prove Bigfoot exists? Don't we have people reaching the 7 foot status today? Are we basing this on old photographs with sketchy detail and the written reports of a few individuals or are we basing it on the ACTUAL REMAINS WHICH WE STILL HAVE TODAY such as the giant squid.
Check out the book THE SEARCH FOR THE GIANT SQUID by Richard Ellis. It has the listings of authenticated strandings and REMAINS of giant squid along with measurements. I didn't count them but there are 5 full PAGES of listings from 1902 up to 1996 when the book was published. So your comparing that with an Ancient Origins article? You mean that fringe website that Andy White makes fun of?
You keep referring track casts as physical material (which could be manufactured). I present physical evidence as the actual part of the animal discussed (in this case the giant squid). Apples and ranges in my book.
They're not talking about your grammar, ikdummy. It is clear when you are not copying and pasting that you are an uneducated fool structuring jumbled sentences to monkey what you read in science journals. You are perplexingly someone that skipped over basic education and jumped into a sham scientist/debator.
Stuey and dmaker are one and the same person. Both have an unhealthy obsession with Iktomi, both deny the existence of bigfoot, both delight in offending and both live in the basement Case closed on the identity of who stuey is
Mr Curious, as has been posted your way too many times to count... A giant 7-8 skeleton without a published anatomical study can't be proof of Bigfoot, however, the sheer frequency of 7-8 foot tall skeletons being sourced over a 200 year period... In a country where 7-8 foot tall hairy hominins have been reported for far, far longer... Does nothing but support my stance. I'm tired of saying it, but if his didn't exist, you'd rhetorically demand it. And I'm basing this on the word of almost three generations of America's anthropologists and archeologists, as well as photographs and actual Smithsonian Bureaus. The reasons that we can't put our hands on such remains, is highly likely due to the repatriation process. But the fact that we have a moral obligation to respect the cultures of indigenous people by no way lessens hat frequency of evidence, when comparing it to a squid.
And that squid's evasion capabilities... Many scientists who have studied squid mass strandings believe they are cyclical and predictable. The length of time between strandings is not known, but was proposed to be 90 years by Architeuthis specialist Frederick Aldrich. Aldrich used this value to correctly predict a relatively small stranding that occurred between 1964 and 1966 in line with the previous strandings the century prior. Therefore if we can assume that giant squid are susceptible to the same afflictions of its smaller cousin, then it doesn't make for a creature that can evade as well as a primate that does so in social groups, does it?
Photographs don't lie... Did you actually open that link and see them? Those are remains sourced at the same frequency as your beloved squid. And a PhD who makes fun out of a site that has documented photographs of the skeletons he sometimes (and confusingly) endorses.. Doesn't mean much to me. Ok... A "realist" thinks it's possible for a hoaxer from another continent to guess the exact same archaic foot morphology, and then find a method of having this morphology arranged in a trackway, whereby such a trackway encompasses different footballs only indicative of a genuine biological foot... And THEN ensures that such a trackway is found by, & then fools a government employee?
Is that your idea of reality, Mr Curious? Not in my experience of your comments, my friend.
I shouldn't be wasting any more time of my day on this but it IS fun so . . .
I'm afraid the reality is you can have all the reports and pictures of 7-8 skeletons you like but but without a detailed, modern day analyst of such you have only speculation. As far as the repatriation process, molds are made for future study of anything significant before being returned to the tribe requesting them. Jim Vieira and his brother Bill had a series on TV called Search For Lost Giants which came up empty-handed just like Finding Bigfoot despite doing their best to prove such
I don't quite get the significance of comparing the giant squid's evasion skills with Bigfoot by citing proposed cyclical strandings however the fact is we have evidence for their existence. We read reports of Bigfoot sightings right here daily from almost ever state and yet we have no part of their body outside of a few questionable hairs to substantiate they actually exist. Nothing, nada, zip.
Photographs DO lie. Forced perspective and outright hoaxes are common. Having an actual part of the animal in question does not. I personally have a couple of rings of the chitinous "teeth" and a beak from a giant squid sent to me by marine biologist Steve O'Shea - an authority on the giant squid. Do you have any body parts from a Bigfoot - LOL? I think I will take the word of a PhD such as Andy White over some dubious claims by a suspect website such as Ancient Origins.
Getting the SAME EXACT archaic foot morphology from ANOTHER continent actually raises suspicion for me because I would expect slight differences because of the distance separation. Just seems too much of a coincidence they match up so perfectly. It's not beyond the possibility that one was copied from the other. So being the accused unrepentant PseudoSkeptic that I supposedly am, I remain unconvinced.
Joe, why do you plagiarize Wiki so often? You did it again just two posts above with your squid comments.
Are you truly that unaware of just how horribly awkward your writing style is? You simply cannot get away with stitching anyone else' comments into your own without your jibber japper standing out like a sore thumb and exposing your blatant plagiarism. Again.
I think we're all fascinated and entertained by ikdummy's unique blend of ignorance and hubris.
It would be interesting to know what he does for a living and what formal education he actually has. It's like you took the most cocky uneducated street punk and, instead of learning the basics and building on a foundation, ikdummy skipped over to science journals written by Phds and hilariously tried to emulate what he was reading.
"I'm afraid the reality is you can have all the reports and pictures of 7-8 skeletons you like but but without a detailed, modern day analyst of such you have only speculation." ... Um, were you trying to be oxymoronic? So I can have reports, actual photographs of these skeletons from archeologists, but because a modern day analyst hasn't written up a study (due to repatriation), all of that is meaningless? I'm sorry Mr Curious, you are not remotely qualified to make that call, neither should you make it via so much god awful contradictions, and expect it to stick. Photographs of 7-8 foot skeletons in places that are exactly how 150 years worth of journals, archeological studies, newspaper reports and even Smithsonian Bureaus reported them to be... Is pretty much proof positive. That's unless you want to argue that three generations of scientists were all hoaxers, and that they happened to hoax by pure chance what actual grave sites yielded 100 years later? Is that reality, Mr Curious?
"As far as the repatriation process, molds are made for future study of anything significant before being returned to the tribe requesting them." ... Mr Curious, are you aware of how many moulds that would mean? Are you aware of how many skeletons were handed over during this process? If so... Where are these moulds exactly? Could you account for an exact number to each specimen? Of course you can't... Please don't use wild speculation to prop up an argument that's already riddled with contradiction.
"Jim Vieira and his brother Bill had a series on TV called Search For Lost Giants which came up empty-handed just like Finding Bigfoot despite doing their best to prove such." ... Um, no... That's in fact grossly inaccurate. Did you actually watch that TV series, Mr Curious? "As part of the Search for the Lost Giants show, Jim and fellow researcher James Clary investigated the following account that had this heading: "An Ancient Ozark Giant Dug Up Near Steelville: Strange discovery made by a boy looking for arrowheads, gives this Missouri Town an absorbing mystery to ponder." From The Steelville Ledger (June 11, 1933): "…he turned up the complete skeleton of an 8 foot giant. The grisly find was brought to Dr. R. C.

The significance of comparing the giant squid's evasion skills with Bigfoot by citing proposed cyclical strandings, is because squid are susceptible to far more mistakes in evasions than any primate is, therefore even if "Bigfoot" were to not have the same frequency of reports and physical evidence, it might be understandable... However that isn't even the case. We have evidence for the existence of a biped that fits the exact same anatomical make up reported by people for thousands of years. And here in lies the same obvious negative proof fallacy so many of toot like-minded types love to pass of as logic; if there are no qualified people looking, with no adequate resources to do so, then no "Bigfoot body parts" are going to materialise. It's pretty simple.
"Photographs lie"... However, that does not mean the likes of Dr. Donald Dragoo, the curator for the Section of Man at the Carnegie Museum who unearthed a 7 feet 2 inch skeleton during the complete excavation of the Cresap Mound in Northern West Virginia, did. That goes for Dr. Walter B. Jones, Moundsville Alabama (7ft 6 and many 7-footers), Dr. Forrest Clements Head of Anthropology at the University of Oklahoma (six 7ft skeletons), Dr. Donald A. Cadzow Cambridge University (7ft 5in skeleton found in Pittsburgh with many other large skeletons with anatomic anomalies reported), Dr. Byron Cummings, head of the archaeology department at the University of Arizona, considered the "Dean of Southwestern Archaeology" (several over 8-footers), Thomas Wilson, Curator of Prehistoric Anthropology at the Smithsonian (verified an 8-foot skeleton with massive jawbone)... And W.J. Holland, curator of the Carnegie Museum (unearthed an over 8 ft skeleton in Pennsylvania as reported in many scientific journals including Scientific American)... To name a few. Let me guess, they're all liars? None of these people can be trusted? Take the word of Andy White by all means, I do too! Especially since he inadvertently supports any notion of Jim Vieira's work when he states more than once, that such skeletons in the 7-8 feet tall range have indeed been documented. What we have in the meantime of not sourcing a cadaver, Mr Curious, are multiple examples of hair fibres that show total morphological congruity (which totally ruled out any hoaxing or misinterpretation), and the many, many, many track casts that show the biological impression of a hominin's foot on the environment of TWO continents. And I take it that all this is mere coincidence and the shoddy practice of the academics studying it all? How many more of these scientists is it gonna take? And before you try to count the numbers to the contrary, there isn't any Mr Curious. There isn't any scientists to the contrary, because every one that has looked at it, either can't explain it, or ends up endorsing what it is. And no Mr Curious... Any notion that any cast can be copied is futile when you have a series of foot falls in the trackway that are only indicative of an actual biological foot... Not a stomper, or a cast copy.
ikdummy somehow thinks he is impressing us with his confused writing style. He was called out recently for stringing some words together but demonstrating in the process that he didn't know what the words meant. When everyone called him out he said, "how did you like that word salad?", not realizing his mistake. In his mind, every comment he is writing is brilliant, like a manic mental patient typing out what he thinks, KNOWS!!!!, will be a Pulitzer Prize award winner. He's trapped in that confident/ignorant mode and can't even be shamed into improving.
"Oxymoronic" is in the English dictionary, Donny... And let's not pretend you haven't had those twelve congruent hair samples rammed down that throat of yours at least ten times. Go back to spending your time proof reading my comments like a weirdo, Donny, that's your level.
adjective 1. literature of or relating to an oxymoron pleasant mall food (if such be not oxymoronic) adjective 2. having the characteristics of an oxymoron
Those damn anthropological elites, if it wasn't for them dismissing what are clearly Bigfoot skeletons we'd have this all wrapped up, now of course those plaster casts you submit as evidence of species must match the feet of those skeletons, I just don't see it myself, do you? Maybe you could go back and show us in the pictures of all these skeletons you just went ahead and referenced? This is your big chance to show us how wrong we've been, it's just zooming in on pictures of skeleton feet and showing everyone how they differ from human feet, because even though they look human they don't walk like humans, right? Meldrum backs you up, this should be easy for someone who doesn't have an elites view of skeletons
lol yes, it's all impossible. So why bring up meaningless old photos of human bones and claim they're bigfoot? Is this to add to your collection of 1000s of pieces of "evidence" that still add up to nothing?
Hmmm... We'll see who rehashes the same lame arguments tomorrow during the early hours of US time. You'll at least have this comment section for reference.
I'm UK, mate. It's SH1TE being Welsh! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the farking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete arseh0les. It's a SH1TE state of affairs to be in, ikdummy, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any farking difference!
Now I'm going to go out on a limb here and project that your going to say something snotty and not take your big chance in Bigfoot history to prove everyone wrong, you really should take up this challenge, as a matter of fact I say as a scientific fact those skeletons have regular human feet and therefore I have proven you wrong in front of everyone here with your own evidence
Some people have reason to be up at that time Stuey. On the flip side, you've been at it since 4:30am US time (allegedly)... Get some sleep pal, & when you wake up, gloss over this comment section. It'll keep you from repeating yourself and looking butt hurt about it all.
You have never proven that thousands of years of native culture (anthropological data), the three databases of modern sightings reports (by every credible pillar of modern society), and the 60 years of accompanying physical evidence... Is bunk.
And again... Not being able to provide available data, doesn't mean it doesn't exist... That's a negative proof fallacy. Especially since the skeleton in question has an archaic skull, which when paired with its height is your biggest obstacle. We seem to keep having to highlight this logical fallacy you can't get your head around?
But it's ok... I've got all the time in the world for you Stuey.
Actually the available data proves ALL your giant skeletons to be human since the feet don't match your footprints but you stick with those wonderful stories and those great Dyer bodies, yep, you have a nice day now
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.
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.
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
I wasnt going to extend this courtesy after the last blunder that required my valuable time to resolve. The title here again is misleading. Bigfoot does not exist so to label something as a consequence of bigfoot is misleading and I would say highly unethical. I have emailed the account to let them know of this critical mistake. Lets keep bigfoot in the context of fiction. This hilarious topic really gets ruined when people start pretending its a real monster. Anyway you are welcome.
ReplyDeletePopulation Clines of the North American Sasquatch As Evidenced By Track Lengths and Estimated Statures
DeleteBy George W. Gill
"This article notes that there is a striking degree of internal consistency amongst reports of purported Sasquatch sightings and footprints. The author applies zoological rules of distribution to the reported stature, track length, and fur colour of the creatures and finds that the conformity of sighted characteristics to these rules is high. He concludes that such evidence argues against considering all such sightings as hoaxes and that it supports the possibility that these beings are natural phenomena."

From: Manlike Monsters On Trial: Early Records and Modern Evidence, Marjorie Halpin & Michael M. Hames (eds) (University of British Columbia Press, 1980.)
"George W. Gill has excavated and studied several hundred human skeletons from tropical west Mexico, Easter Island, and the Great plains of North America. His travels have carried him to 45 countries and all 50 states, where he has been able to develop notes and slides on many peoples and cultures. Dr. Gill has developed osteological collections which form parts of the national museum collections of Mexico and Chile, served as scientific leader of National Geographic Society's 1981 Easter Island Anthropological Expedition, and has been active in skeletal identification for law enforcement agencies as a Fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences. He has served as Secretary and Chairman of the Physical Anthropological Section of the AAFS and as a member of the Board of Directors of the national certification board for forensic anthropologists."
Dr. Gill is considered by many to be the foremost world expert on native American and western forensic anthropology.

There is nothing in biological research, or scientific theory, that confirms that verified scientific data is by default irrelevant, if it is as of yet unused to track and classify what's leaving that verified scientific data.

Research does not start with classification. If something isn't reported to exist, or shown to exist on some reliable level, then people are unaware of any such creature's potential existence to study, and efforts to classify cannot occur.
Your version of how biological research works flies in the face of innumerable studies, and is the cart before the horse... Not to mention plain stupid.

DeleteThere are thousands of biologists in US forests studying the flora and fauna every single day yet not a single one has stumbled on a bigfoot. Really makes you think.
ReplyDeleteGo read some sightings reports Stuey, start with the basics look.
DeleteGo get some sleep Joerg, you've been posting comments here nonstop for over 24 hours!
DeleteGood point there 8:06. The "evidence" so to speak is always just beyond credible. And before you ask, yes the evidence has been tested by legitimate scientists. Bryan Sykes and Todd Disotel have both DNA tested samples that were put forward by people who were adamant that the sample came from a bigfoot because they saw the bigfoot leave the sample (hair snagged on fence etc). Yet all of these samples have turned out to be from known animals. So from this we can gather there is something else going on. This is a psychological phenomenom where people are seeing known animals such as bears and embellishing the sightings into a fantastical forest monster
DeleteSasq'ets hair is notorious for not having medulla to sequence DNA. Learn the f'n basics... For crying out loud. Geneticists are only ever as good as the samples they are given. Might I add, that not even the entire amount of samples tested to date are a fair reflection on the thousands of years these hominins have been reported, as well as the 60 years physical evidence has been documented... To state otherwise is a pathetic attempt at closer.
DeleteSykes has also tested hair samples that have 12 other examples of morphological congruity, that when successfully tested, had a match to a feral human from Uzbekistan. Sasq'ets could be so close genetically to us, that their DNA might merely indicate archaic as a genetic difference.
Lastly... A lack of DNA sequence has no bearing whatsoever on the physical evidence documented over the past two decades, and is plain stupidity to reduce the latter as "beyond credibility" when it has a while branch of science outside of genetics in verifying it.
What's a psychological phenomena, is the depths of pathological denial a group of obsessed pseudosceptics resort to.. instead of simply finding one little scientifically sound reason to not consider the mounds of readily viewable evidence.
DeleteHey Iktomi be sure to tell these lumpbrains how the feet of that 8 foot skeleton matches those special foot bones you talk about in all those plaster casts you submit as evidence of species, this is the case closed Bigfoot body, go ahead and tell them, oh joyous day for humanity, and you and Meldrum sure showed everyone, yep, just go ahead and tell them
DeleteThe report of that skeleton doesn't go into detail about any number of its anatomical features... But an 8 foot skeleton with an archaic, sloping skull is good enough for anyone who remembers that 8 foot hairy hominins with archaic sloping skulls have been reported in the US for thousands of years.
DeleteOh, I'm sorry you said the report didn't go into the skeleton's anatomical features and then you went ahead and said it had an archaic sloping skull, where did it say that? I missed that, or is that just your opinion based on that old black and white photo you claim is a Bigfoot skeleton? And those feet seem to look like regular human feet but I'm nowhere near the skeleton expert you are
DeleteYep! The skull being one anatomical trait that anyone without an anthropological background would notice right away, andnonenlf few things that is documented about the skeleton's appearance.
DeleteOh yes, didn't you claim that the photo was digitally altered in 1933??

DeleteYes, and he's bitten off all his finger nails too.
DeleteAnd also his toenails. He'll be after the dogs nails next.

ReplyDeleteAn Ancient Ozark Giant Dug Up Near Steelville, Mo.
DeleteStrange discovery made by a boy looking for arrowheads, gives this Missouri Town an absorbing mystery to ponder.
"Steelville, Mo. June 11, 1933
His brow, too, was anything but noble. Height of forehead, once popularly believed to be a sort of hallmark of high or low intelligence, has been largely discredited as such an indicator now, so this cave man's sloping brow may not necessarily be regarded as a stamp of low mentality. But it may be set down, anyway, as one of the cranial characteristics which fit very neatly into the general "pinhead" picture. Of course he had considerably more above the eyes and ears than such extremely primitive types as the Peking man, Piltdown man and the Neanderthaloids."
"As part of the Search for the Lost Giants show, Jim and fellow researcher James Clary investigated the following account that had this heading:
"An Ancient Ozark Giant Dug Up Near Steelville: Strange discovery made by a boy looking for arrowheads, gives this Missouri Town an absorbing mystery to ponder."
From The Steelville Ledger (June 11, 1933):
"…he turned up the complete skeleton of an 8 foot giant.
The grisly find was brought to Dr. R. C. Parker here and stretched out to its enormous length in a hallway of his office where it has since remained the most startling exhibit Steelville has ever had on public view."
While reading through the microfilm at the Steelville library three reports of the find where uncovered including the photo that shows Les Eaton, a 6-foot man, laid out next to the 8-foot skeleton in Dr. Parkers office."
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/gigantes/esp_gigantes_15.htm
... Meaning you see the original photo in actual library archives on national TV.
"With all his magnificent stature, this primitive chief, if chief he was, really was something of a pinhead. The skull measures only 20 inches in circumference—a pretty small skull, even for a man of normal height. The heads of most average sized men measure from 22 to 28 inches in circumference. A 20 inch dome perched on the shoulders of a giant eight feet tall must have looked tiny indeed."
DeleteYeah ikdummy, a skull 1/4 the size smaller than a normal human head is really consistent with your reports of bigfoot! Next time try actually reading the hoax reports before you you copy and paste them here! Ha ha ha!
Actually... Sasq'ets heads are very commonly reported to be far smaller than their bodies, and way out of proportion. In some parts of the South for example, they're even referred to as "no necks".
DeleteIt's ok... You're learning!
But wait a sec, you've also stated that one of the "archaic" bigfoot traits of Khwit's skill is that it's so massively huge!
Delete"*bigger all round
*bigger teeth
*bigger jaw bone"
Now you're saying that bigfoot heads are actually smaller than normal human skulls? Or do you just spout off whatever BS pops into your feeble mind at the moment? Ha ha ha!
*skull
DeleteYes, but those morphological traits are not distinguished from afar, or by an untrained eye.
DeleteThese answers are simple logic.
So you're admitting that the tiny Steelville skull was not "bigfoot." Thanks for finally being somewhat reasonable. I'm glad that we've made some progress today! =~)
Delete... An 8 foot tall skeleton with an archaic skull... Will serve just fine as an example of specimen in a country where 8 foot tall hominins with archaic faces have been reported for thousands of years...
DeleteNow please, tell me all about how this photoshop in 1933??
... And to answer your comment about Khwit's skull properly, this skull wasn't any bigger than that of any other modern human skull... But had more robust and exaggerated features like that briefly listed above. This cannot be said for the 1933 skull, because we don't have an equivalent study. It can however be assumed to be the case, given its archaic morphology that IS mentioned.
DeleteTell me about how this tiny "bigfoot" skull is consistent with your contention that "bigfoot" skulls are massively large.
DeleteSorry Stuey, I've never claimed that. Though I don't doubt that very large skulls have been discovered... The available records of the remains I'm aware of, don't attest to anything different.
DeleteTry and be a little more creative.
^ you have little imagination at all as all you seem to post are re-hashed tales..and tales that have oft been debunked
DeleteCool... Debunk them then.
Delete(Yawn)
I'll tell you what's heck of a tale... The tale of a thousand's year old, culture hopping, hoaxing conspiracy. That's a cracker.
A creature with a tiny head smaller than a normal human! LOLLLLLLLLLL
DeleteNote how 11:57 desperately tries to throw the focus away from his own "tiny head smaller than a normal human" (and it isn't the on on his shoulders).
DeleteFor the sake of argument I would like to point out that Nathan Reo and some others like to state that the giant squid has been long reported but only recently discovered which is absolutely false. The giant squid has been well known since the late 19th century. In addition lktomi made some comparisons in a previous post:
ReplyDelete"• We have the same scientific documentation of relict hominids and giant squid reports & remains being found in the 1800 century."
I would argue far from the same. Professor Addison Emery Verrill of Yale University who examined, dissected and described them from 1874 - 1882, wrote no fewer than twenty-nine scientific papers in which the giant squid was discussed. In addition we have some of those same squid remains today in collections. Currently there are close to a dozen complete bodies of giant squids in various museums today. I may ask - where can the remains of Bigfoot be found?
"• The next time we hear of a stranding of giant squid was in the 1960's when guess what? We have the Patterson Gimlin footage!"
Not true. We have had many carcasses found all during the 20th century and they are documented.
"• We then have to wait until 2004 until a living example of giant squid is documented, to which time we have 60 years of physical, video and audio evidence pointing to the existence of a bipedal primate that is twice the size of normal human primates; a far greater frequency of evidence than the giant squid enjoyed to that point."
The first time a live giant squid was recorded was in 2006 after scientists hooked one and brought it to the surface. In 2012 it was finally filmed in it's natural element swimming freely. So we now have film AND over 150 years of actual PHYSICAL material we can hold in our hands and examine. To state that Bigfoot "has a far greater frequency of evidence to that point" is ridiculous. In addition it is far harder to capture images of a deep sea, elusive animal in the vastness of the oceans than trying to capture images on land of an unknown primate said to be twice as big as a normal human.
You may stand with your Bili Ape argument if you wish but you have no case comparing the giant squid with Bigfoot.
You're correct Curious. And this has all been pointed out to ikdummy about a dozen different times and yet he keeps making the same debunked argument. There is just no getting through to someone who believes in something with such religious fervor.
DeleteWow well said
Delete"I would argue far from the same."
ReplyDelete... I'm sure you would. However, you're not very good at remembering your shortfalls, Mr Curious. For example, there were innumerable 7-8 foot tall human remains located all over the U.S around about the time Professor Addison Emery Verrill was doing his thing. The difference is that the anthropological elite of the time are on record stating that no such remains would be studied.
"Not true. We have had many carcasses found all during the 20th century and they are documented."
... Really? How many is that then Mr Curious? I'm curious to know how many exactly? Comparatively, we have stuff like this too;
http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/gigantes/esp_gigantes_15.htm
... photos and all. So far an exact mirroring of evidences!
So! When we drop the pathological denial for five minutes, and remember that Sasq'ets had been filmed long ago in 1967, we have a comparative frequency of actual PHYSICAL material we can hold in our hands and examine... for example, if I hit you around the head with a track cast, I'm sure you'd feel the physical affects of that cast.
If something looks like a human, I thinks like a human, and it can evade like a human. I'm not an academic in biology, but I think I'm safe in suggesting something that evades in social groups like humans do, is gonna trump a squid. In fact, I'd be more than qualified to do so... As I'm the one referencing long standing physical evidence that wouldn't be there, if Sasq'ets wasn't. It is therefore plausible to state that it evades as well as it does, because it's existence isn't a question as a result of that level of evidence.
Unless you're a pseudosceptic of course.
Wrong, ikdummy.
DeleteAccording to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN), a zoologist when describing a new species should clearly designate a single specimen as its Holotype (Article 73A).
Indeed. However... That does nothing to denounce the physical sign of that species, leading up to a conclusive stage of research that is classification. I'm not expecting you to get this any time soon, but it's fun making you look silly all the same. It's odd... dMaKeR had the same prolonged blonde moment as well?
DeleteFor pity sake, you moron, would you please learn how to construct a sentence properly? Reading your attempts to fancy up your rhetoric is like sandpaper on the brain.
DeleteYou can wave plaster around and tell stories all day long but you still need a type specimen to establish the existence of a new species.
DeleteThat's odd... Someone else has been chasing me around for weeks about my alleged poor grammar? You also have the exact same cart before the horse logic about classification? And you just so happen to chime in to respond in minutes as you're name's published?
DeleteSorry Stuey/dMaKeR... But A lack of an effort to use the physical evidence for tracking purposes, does not disprove the existence of the mammal leaving that evidence. That's a negative proof fallacy.
What's more, is that not anyone with ten times the intelligence & credentials has ever managed to explain away that level of physical evidence. Meaning your unqualified, uneducated opinions mean squat against a list of PhD's and academics I can reference.
Reality's a b*tch.
You are not taking into taxonomic consideration pre-classification which conclusively assigns species-specific nomenclature to said specimen prior to expeditionary discovery via sourcing with the aforementioned pre-evidence.
DeleteSchooled.
I haven't the time of day to argue every point with someone who's mind will never be changed but I will offer these points:
DeleteSo there are many 7-8 foot tall skeletons found back then. Does a 7-8 tall skeleton absolutely prove Bigfoot exists? Don't we have people reaching the 7 foot status today? Are we basing this on old photographs with sketchy detail and the written reports of a few individuals or are we basing it on the ACTUAL REMAINS WHICH WE STILL HAVE TODAY such as the giant squid.
Check out the book THE SEARCH FOR THE GIANT SQUID by Richard Ellis. It has the listings of authenticated strandings and REMAINS of giant squid along with measurements. I didn't count them but there are 5 full PAGES of listings from 1902 up to 1996 when the book was published. So your comparing that with an Ancient Origins article? You mean that fringe website that Andy White makes fun of?
You keep referring track casts as physical material (which could be manufactured). I present physical evidence as the actual part of the animal discussed (in this case the giant squid). Apples and ranges in my book.
PseudoSkeptic? No - just a realist.
They're not talking about your grammar, ikdummy. It is clear when you are not copying and pasting that you are an uneducated fool structuring jumbled sentences to monkey what you read in science journals. You are perplexingly someone that skipped over basic education and jumped into a sham scientist/debator.

Joe
Gasp!!
DeleteMr Curious, as has been posted your way too many times to count... A giant 7-8 skeleton without a published anatomical study can't be proof of Bigfoot, however, the sheer frequency of 7-8 foot tall skeletons being sourced over a 200 year period... In a country where 7-8 foot tall hairy hominins have been reported for far, far longer... Does nothing but support my stance. I'm tired of saying it, but if his didn't exist, you'd rhetorically demand it. And I'm basing this on the word of almost three generations of America's anthropologists and archeologists, as well as photographs and actual Smithsonian Bureaus. The reasons that we can't put our hands on such remains, is highly likely due to the repatriation process. But the fact that we have a moral obligation to respect the cultures of indigenous people by no way lessens hat frequency of evidence, when comparing it to a squid.
DeleteAnd that squid's evasion capabilities... Many scientists who have studied squid mass strandings believe they are cyclical and predictable. The length of time between strandings is not known, but was proposed to be 90 years by Architeuthis specialist Frederick Aldrich. Aldrich used this value to correctly predict a relatively small stranding that occurred between 1964 and 1966 in line with the previous strandings the century prior. Therefore if we can assume that giant squid are susceptible to the same afflictions of its smaller cousin, then it doesn't make for a creature that can evade as well as a primate that does so in social groups, does it?
Photographs don't lie... Did you actually open that link and see them? Those are remains sourced at the same frequency as your beloved squid. And a PhD who makes fun out of a site that has documented photographs of the skeletons he sometimes (and confusingly) endorses.. Doesn't mean much to me. Ok... A "realist" thinks it's possible for a hoaxer from another continent to guess the exact same archaic foot morphology, and then find a method of having this morphology arranged in a trackway, whereby such a trackway encompasses different footballs only indicative of a genuine biological foot... And THEN ensures that such a trackway is found by, & then fools a government employee?
Is that your idea of reality, Mr Curious? Not in my experience of your comments, my friend.

I don't quite get the significance of comparing the giant squid's evasion skills with Bigfoot by citing proposed cyclical strandings however the fact is we have evidence for their existence. We read reports of Bigfoot sightings right here daily from almost ever state and yet we have no part of their body outside of a few questionable hairs to substantiate they actually exist. Nothing, nada, zip.
Photographs DO lie. Forced perspective and outright hoaxes are common. Having an actual part of the animal in question does not. I personally have a couple of rings of the chitinous "teeth" and a beak from a giant squid sent to me by marine biologist Steve O'Shea - an authority on the giant squid. Do you have any body parts from a Bigfoot - LOL? I think I will take the word of a PhD such as Andy White over some dubious claims by a suspect website such as Ancient Origins.
Getting the SAME EXACT archaic foot morphology from ANOTHER continent actually raises suspicion for me because I would expect slight differences because of the distance separation. Just seems too much of a coincidence they match up so perfectly. It's not beyond the possibility that one was copied from the other. So being the accused unrepentant PseudoSkeptic that I supposedly am, I remain unconvinced.
Joe, why do you plagiarize Wiki so often? You did it again just two posts above with your squid comments.
DeleteAre you truly that unaware of just how horribly awkward your writing style is? You simply cannot get away with stitching anyone else' comments into your own without your jibber japper standing out like a sore thumb and exposing your blatant plagiarism. Again.
I think we're all fascinated and entertained by ikdummy's unique blend of ignorance and hubris.
DeleteIt would be interesting to know what he does for a living and what formal education he actually has. It's like you took the most cocky uneducated street punk and, instead of learning the basics and building on a foundation, ikdummy skipped over to science journals written by Phds and hilariously tried to emulate what he was reading.
What is your story, ikdummy?
"I'm afraid the reality is you can have all the reports and pictures of 7-8 skeletons you like but but without a detailed, modern day analyst of such you have only speculation."
Delete... Um, were you trying to be oxymoronic? So I can have reports, actual photographs of these skeletons from archeologists, but because a modern day analyst hasn't written up a study (due to repatriation), all of that is meaningless? I'm sorry Mr Curious, you are not remotely qualified to make that call, neither should you make it via so much god awful contradictions, and expect it to stick. Photographs of 7-8 foot skeletons in places that are exactly how 150 years worth of journals, archeological studies, newspaper reports and even Smithsonian Bureaus reported them to be... Is pretty much proof positive. That's unless you want to argue that three generations of scientists were all hoaxers, and that they happened to hoax by pure chance what actual grave sites yielded 100 years later? Is that reality, Mr Curious?
"As far as the repatriation process, molds are made for future study of anything significant before being returned to the tribe requesting them."
... Mr Curious, are you aware of how many moulds that would mean? Are you aware of how many skeletons were handed over during this process? If so... Where are these moulds exactly? Could you account for an exact number to each specimen? Of course you can't... Please don't use wild speculation to prop up an argument that's already riddled with contradiction.
"Jim Vieira and his brother Bill had a series on TV called Search For Lost Giants which came up empty-handed just like Finding Bigfoot despite doing their best to prove such."
... Um, no... That's in fact grossly inaccurate. Did you actually watch that TV series, Mr Curious?
"As part of the Search for the Lost Giants show, Jim and fellow researcher James Clary investigated the following account that had this heading:
"An Ancient Ozark Giant Dug Up Near Steelville: Strange discovery made by a boy looking for arrowheads, gives this Missouri Town an absorbing mystery to ponder."
From The Steelville Ledger (June 11, 1933):
"…he turned up the complete skeleton of an 8 foot giant.
The grisly find was brought to Dr. R. C. Parker here and stretched out to its enormous length in a hallway of his office where it has since remained the most startling exhibit Steelville has ever had on public view."
While reading through the microfilm at the Steelville library three reports of the find where uncovered including the photo that shows Les Eaton, a 6-foot man, laid out next to the 8-foot skeleton in Dr. Parkers office."

The significance of comparing the giant squid's evasion skills with Bigfoot by citing proposed cyclical strandings, is because squid are susceptible to far more mistakes in evasions than any primate is, therefore even if "Bigfoot" were to not have the same frequency of reports and physical evidence, it might be understandable... However that isn't even the case. We have evidence for the existence of a biped that fits the exact same anatomical make up reported by people for thousands of years. And here in lies the same obvious negative proof fallacy so many of toot like-minded types love to pass of as logic; if there are no qualified people looking, with no adequate resources to do so, then no "Bigfoot body parts" are going to materialise. It's pretty simple.
"Photographs lie"... However, that does not mean the likes of Dr. Donald Dragoo, the curator for the Section of Man at the Carnegie Museum who unearthed a 7 feet 2 inch skeleton during the complete excavation of the Cresap Mound in Northern West Virginia, did. That goes for Dr. Walter B. Jones, Moundsville Alabama (7ft 6 and many 7-footers), Dr. Forrest Clements Head of Anthropology at the University of Oklahoma (six 7ft skeletons), Dr. Donald A. Cadzow Cambridge University (7ft 5in skeleton found in Pittsburgh with many other large skeletons with anatomic anomalies reported), Dr. Byron Cummings, head of the archaeology department at the University of Arizona, considered the "Dean of Southwestern Archaeology" (several over 8-footers), Thomas Wilson, Curator of Prehistoric Anthropology at the Smithsonian (verified an 8-foot skeleton with massive jawbone)... And W.J. Holland, curator of the Carnegie Museum (unearthed an over 8 ft skeleton in Pennsylvania as reported in many scientific journals including Scientific American)... To name a few. Let me guess, they're all liars? None of these people can be trusted? Take the word of Andy White by all means, I do too! Especially since he inadvertently supports any notion of Jim Vieira's work when he states more than once, that such skeletons in the 7-8 feet tall range have indeed been documented. What we have in the meantime of not sourcing a cadaver, Mr Curious, are multiple examples of hair fibres that show total morphological congruity (which totally ruled out any hoaxing or misinterpretation), and the many, many, many track casts that show the biological impression of a hominin's foot on the environment of TWO continents. And I take it that all this is mere coincidence and the shoddy practice of the academics studying it all? How many more of these scientists is it gonna take? And before you try to count the numbers to the contrary, there isn't any Mr Curious. There isn't any scientists to the contrary, because every one that has looked at it, either can't explain it, or ends up endorsing what it is. And no Mr Curious... Any notion that any cast can be copied is futile when you have a series of foot falls in the trackway that are only indicative of an actual biological foot... Not a stomper, or a cast copy.
Delete"Um, were you trying to be oxymoronic [sic]?"
DeleteOxymoronic is not a word. How is what Curious wrote an example of an oxymoron?
"multiple examples of hair fibres that show total morphological congruity (which totally ruled out any hoaxing or misinterpretation)"
DeleteNope. That is false.
ikdummy somehow thinks he is impressing us with his confused writing style. He was called out recently for stringing some words together but demonstrating in the process that he didn't know what the words meant. When everyone called him out he said, "how did you like that word salad?", not realizing his mistake. In his mind, every comment he is writing is brilliant, like a manic mental patient typing out what he thinks, KNOWS!!!!, will be a Pulitzer Prize award winner. He's trapped in that confident/ignorant mode and can't even be shamed into improving.
Delete"Oxymoronic" is in the English dictionary, Donny... And let's not pretend you haven't had those twelve congruent hair samples rammed down that throat of yours at least ten times. Go back to spending your time proof reading my comments like a weirdo, Donny, that's your level.
DeleteStuey claiming to understand concepts that he had only learned once they made him look stupid days prior, has made me smile a good few times since.
Delete: )
What does ikdummy do for a living?
DeleteOxymoron is in the dictionary, oxymoronic is not.
Deleteoxymoronic
Delete(ˌɒksɪˈmɔːrɒn)
adjective

of or relating to an oxymoron
pleasant mall food (if such be not oxymoronic)

2. having the characteristics of an oxymoron
Freudian slip by ikdummy:
ReplyDelete"I thinks like a human."
Ha ha ha!
Maybe ikdummy is a chimpanzee hooked up to a computer that's typing its thoughts.
Delete^^ Serious LOL.
DeleteHere are some red markers, go play DS.
DeleteLOL xx
DeleteYour argument and life are so trite.
DeleteHere are some blue bags go play on the freeway.
DeleteThose damn anthropological elites, if it wasn't for them dismissing what are clearly Bigfoot skeletons we'd have this all wrapped up, now of course those plaster casts you submit as evidence of species must match the feet of those skeletons, I just don't see it myself, do you? Maybe you could go back and show us in the pictures of all these skeletons you just went ahead and referenced? This is your big chance to show us how wrong we've been, it's just zooming in on pictures of skeleton feet and showing everyone how they differ from human feet, because even though they look human they don't walk like humans, right? Meldrum backs you up, this should be easy for someone who doesn't have an elites view of skeletons
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately Stuey, without a published anatomical analysis of those skeletons, then that information is unattainable!
Deletelol yes, it's all impossible. So why bring up meaningless old photos of human bones and claim they're bigfoot? Is this to add to your collection of 1000s of pieces of "evidence" that still add up to nothing?
DeleteIktomiThursday, September 14, 2017 at 11:08:00 AM PDT
DeleteThe only "nothing" occurs when you're asked to provide some substance against said evidence.
Six years and zilch?
^ 60 years and still zilch
DeleteNot according to Dr Gill up top.
DeleteShort memory.
^ has no memory whatever
DeleteHmmm... We'll see who rehashes the same lame arguments tomorrow during the early hours of US time. You'll at least have this comment section for reference.
DeleteI'm UK, mate. It's SH1TE being Welsh! We're the lowest of the low. The scum of the farking Earth! The most wretched, miserable, servile, pathetic trash that was ever shat into civilization. Some hate the English. I don't. They're just wankers. We, on the other hand, are COLONIZED by wankers. Can't even find a decent culture to be colonized BY. We're ruled by effete arseh0les. It's a SH1TE state of affairs to be in, ikdummy, and ALL the fresh air in the world won't make any farking difference!
DeleteMeds needed here^
DeleteI believe it's from Trainspotting
Delete12:31 is dmaker aka stuey
DeleteHe's really got it out for you Iktomi but that's a good thing because you got them running to the hills
Joe
^ Nancy Drew on the case.
Delete^ Bloody miss Marples got this all figured out
DeleteHaving fun stuey boy ?
Joe
Aye, if Joe ain't Gracie Fields in the flesh, she is.
DeleteNow I'm going to go out on a limb here and project that your going to say something snotty and not take your big chance in Bigfoot history to prove everyone wrong, you really should take up this challenge, as a matter of fact I say as a scientific fact those skeletons have regular human feet and therefore I have proven you wrong in front of everyone here with your own evidence
ReplyDelete10:10 Needs a body yet still here after all these years, YES YOU'RE RIGHT IT IS TRUELY SHOCKING. Go away now dear.
DeleteCan't prove Bigfoot, big surprise^
DeleteCan't prove his hoaxing conspiracy... No big surprise!
DeleteAnd you woke up at 3:00 AM to tell us that? I must have really caused you to have some horrible nightmares! Ha ha ha!
DeleteSome people have reason to be up at that time Stuey. On the flip side, you've been at it since 4:30am US time (allegedly)... Get some sleep pal, & when you wake up, gloss over this comment section. It'll keep you from repeating yourself and looking butt hurt about it all.
DeleteI actually proved Bigfoot doesn't exist, now show me those skeleton feet matching your plaster casts, you can't, weep, weep, weep
ReplyDeleteYou have never proven that thousands of years of native culture (anthropological data), the three databases of modern sightings reports (by every credible pillar of modern society), and the 60 years of accompanying physical evidence... Is bunk.
DeleteAnd again... Not being able to provide available data, doesn't mean it doesn't exist... That's a negative proof fallacy. Especially since the skeleton in question has an archaic skull, which when paired with its height is your biggest obstacle. We seem to keep having to highlight this logical fallacy you can't get your head around?
But it's ok... I've got all the time in the world for you Stuey.
: )
Actually the available data proves ALL your giant skeletons to be human since the feet don't match your footprints but you stick with those wonderful stories and those great Dyer bodies, yep, you have a nice day now
ReplyDeleteNegative proof fallacy, Stuey!
DeleteAnd Sasq'ets are human.
You'd better stick to arguing here so no one sees and thinks you're on drugs or just thickheaded
