Bigfoot

I'm kinda weird (obvi lol) in that I am fascinated by strange things, but ultimately i'm pretty skeptical. I think it was Hume who said assertions of wacky things require extraordinary evidence...or something like that. So, it seems unlikely that there's a large undiscovered primate living in North America. I mean, someone would've found incontrovertable proof by now. And yet...its so kewl to read about Bigfoot stories. There was this sick MonsterQuest a while ago where they set up cameras in an extremely remote cabin in Alaska. Apparently the previous year, the owner came to the cabin and found that it had been ransaked, but a jar of honey was untouched, so obvi it wasn't a bear...so all signs point to Bigfoot. And apparently this guy kept cool things in his cabin (i bet he had some tight lion carvings or something) and didn't want some big half human primate schwangling them. So, he watched Home Alone and decided to set up some traps and leave a tarantula in the cabin (since according to evolution bigfoot would be afraid of spiders). One of these traps was a piece of wood with nails in it, and when he came back later to the cabin, there was some blood on the wood trap. So Monsterquest came and tested the blood, and they couldn't rule out something freaky. So the MonsterQuest people stayed the night, and they reported a lot of strange noises at night. I suppose they've got an incentive to make is seem scarier than it really was, but it still gave me goosebumps. But then I activated my prefrontal cortex, and figured that it was probably just a bear, honey jar not withstanding. But still, its a cool story. Anyway, sometimes when i'm bored i read bigfoot stories at the bigfoot field researchers organization (www.bfro.net). They've got a big archive.
