On this, the weekend of Sasquatch!, is it any surprise that there's a video claiming to have captured the mythical beast itself? Media outlets today are atwitter about this video, which features a hulking, shadowing figure that the hikers who shot the footage are purporting to be--you guessed it--Bigfoot. more ›

I wanted to taste this year’s Bigfoot against a few from years past that I had aging in my cellar. Barley wine is one of the few types of beer that respond positively to aging, given the proper conditions. High alcohol content, yeast in the bottle, and ample residual sugars are all qualities in beer that may mark them as good candidates for aging.

Salmonzilla was found dead at Battle Creek in California recently. It weighs 85 lbs and the speculation is that when it was alive and beginning its trek in from the ocean it would have weighed 90 lbs--a few pounds heavier than the largest chinook ever sport fished from California, but several pounds shy of the Alaskan record of 97 lbs.

Remember the Sasquatch/Bigfoot corpse found in Georgia recently? Last week we heard it "failed a DNA test"--and this week, we find it failed the DNA test because the corpse was made out of rubber.

Two hunters claim they found a dead Bigfoot (better known around these parts as Sasquatch) in some woods in northern Georgia. The hunters, with the help of a Bay Area group dedicated to finding Bigfoot, will host a press conference on Friday in Palo Alto. The hunters claim the animal they found is male, was seven feet seven inches tall, weighed over 500 pounds, and is covered in reddish hair. We're skeptical of Bigfoots in Georgia (in the Cascades--sure!) but you better believe we'll be tuned in to Friday's press conference. more ›
