The Georgia Ape
–Well, the Montauk Monster’s missing, but we’ve got the Chupacabra video, and supposedly a dead Bigfoot.–Not bad times for cryptozoology or hucksterism, depending on what you believe!
Reporters were not impressed by the Bigfoot presentation of the two men claiming that it was the genuine article, as they did not produce a body nor disclose its location. One of the two was also involved in a previous Bigfoot hoax in 2005, when he was going to do a “Pay-Per-View” thing. They did produce a picture, which looked like a Chewbacca costume with a few guts sprinkled on for good measure. Of three DNA samples produced, one was human, the second possum, and the third untestable. Without rigorous and independent scientific investigation, conclusions will be tainted at best.
This will take months to spin out, but I would look for the claims to start to unravel. I’d be thrilled, however, if this was the real deal…but DNA samples may prove that this was the offspring of John Edwards...

John Edwards? The guy who talks to ghosts cross-country?

Seriously, though: I read in my local morning paper that the “Georgia Ape” turned out to be just a gorilla costume, quite literally on ice. Much like the “Minnesota Iceman” of urban legend is supposed to be.
