The next time you launch into a rant about 7,000 years...

;) ;)

Think of some of the players on your team.

(Reuters) - An Idaho scientist shrugging off skeptical fellow scholars in his quest for evidence of Bigfoot has turned his sights skyward, with plans to float a blimp over the U.S. mountain West in search of the mythic, ape-like creature.

Idaho State University has approved the unusual proposal of faculty member Jeffrey Meldrum, an anatomy and anthropology professor ridiculed by some peers for past research of a being whose existence is widely disputed by mainstream science.

Now Meldrum is seeking to raise $300,000-plus in private donations to build the remote-controlled dirigible, equip it with a thermal-imaging camera and send it aloft in hopes of catching an aerial glimpse of Bigfoot, also known as sasquatch.

So Mike Yates, stop worrying about IQ preventing college.

:) He is not a smart man.
 
*popcorn*

Even the UFO people are holding a meeting of the "minds" in Britain to discuss the possibility of having been on a long and winding wild goose chase...

You just use a bunch of freshly-trained 18 y-o privates, give them drone joysticks and promise corporal stripes to the first one to find one of the big Harry lugs not named Rosie O'Donnell...

;) ;)

Like a middle-aged physical therapist has the right to call anybody out on Science...

lol
 
I wonder how many people that are dumb enough to pony up...

Just be thankful that the Feds haven't been asked to pony up. I'm sure someone in the Department of Education is more than willing to approve a grant for it. If that doesn't work, nitwits in the Department of Justice are up for anything.

No doubt.
 
What would he really be looking for?

Assuming that Big Foot doesn't exist, there must be some purpose to the proposal.

What are American men doing in the woods that they shouldn't be doing? ;)
 
I've spent years all over those Northern woods hunting, camping, and hiking; there's a lot in there that will eat your ass up, but a "squatch" isn't one of them.:D

They can feel your vibes man...



Pass the wine and cheese then get out of my light. :)
 
What's funny is the dude who started it all back in the 60's, made the original film showing Bigfoot walking through the forest, confessed to perpetrating a fraud on his death bed. He was immediately denounced as a liar by all of the true believers who originally fell for the scam. All those folks who invested much of their intellectual capital in the bullshit just couldn't believe they had been duped, and still can't.

It is amazing how often that happens.
