“I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?” ― John Lennon

As a rule, I try not to actively make fun of people dying, even if I don't feel they deserve mourning.

But this image. It's so concise it's poetic. It's so encompassing it's beautiful. It's everything. I've been staring at it for hours.

Whenever someone says, "I did my own research," while talking about GMOs, Nuclear power, vaccines, or another hot-button science topic I want you to remember this image. Because it is the pinnacle of hubris in the face of the unrestricted knowledge we've been blessed with.

Bigfoot Lookalikes: Tracking Hairy Man-Beasts | Skeptical Inquirer

Over my years as a skeptical cryptozoologist, I have looked for real, natural lookalikes to explain various reported “monsters.” Are there a

Although Sasquatch—after 1958 generally called Bigfoot—is most associated with the Pacific North­west (a region loosely ranging from northern California to Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, and southern Alaska), sightings are reported throughout the United States and Canada (Bord and Bord 2006). Many of these turn out to be hoaxes—notably Roger Patterson’s filming of “Bigsuit” in 1967. (He used a gorilla suit purchased from costume-seller Phil Morris, converted it to Bigfoot by modifying the face and adding pendulous breasts, and enlisted a man named Bob Heironimus to wear the suit [Long 2004; Nickell 2011, 68–73].) Many other Bigfoot sightings are no doubt misperceptions resulting from expectation and excitement (Nickell 2011, 94–96).
