No, they seem to be dragging their (big) feet.

This week's episode was about the Sasquatch in North America.
It was embarrassingly bad, for a program that was claiming to be scientific.
They had ''witnesses'' who were swearing on camera that they had seen the sasquatch with their own eyes. And not one of them came across as genuine. They all stunk.

The worst was a man who claimed to have shot a bigfoot. His story was that he buried it, because he didn't want to be caught carrying it out of the national park. :funny:
Then, it snowed, when he went back in the spring, it was gone, and all he got was a bit of skin with fur on it.

Other ''Sasquatch hunters'' produced stories and bits of fur.
All of the samples were analysed for dna.
Two were from cattle. The shot bigfoot turned out to be a bear. One was dog hair. I think that all the other samples turned out to be black bear as well.

There was nothing so Earth-shattering as last week's result, of 40.000 year old polar bear fur. That's still bugging me.
Not that I think it's possible, but who, how and why was the result faked?

A friend was telling me about this just now at morning break. Gun-toting rednecks claiming to have seen Bigfoot? :stanley:

Yeh, it wasn't so bad last week, because the people claiming to have seen it were speaking Asian.
When they are talking English, it comes across as more insulting to the intellect.
And it was the old ''why would they lie?'' bollocks.

When will they work out that people don't need a reason. Some people lie all the time. They can't help it.
Others do it for a laugh.

Like the people who started off the crop circles. When it started, the gullibles were saying ''why would anybody spend all that time and energy, flattening wheat in the middle of the night?''

Then years later, they admit it, and just say ''we did it for a laugh''.

Could it ever be any different? It's always hunting season for Bigfoot.
