It's time to close the curtains
And just turn off the lights
Don't want to meet that Muppet on the Muppet Show tonight

xanadian: I_C_Weener: Ever see Watership Down?

Holy shiat, I was just thinking that, actually...

Also: notice how the pic is blurry? It almost makes it look like Bigfoot's illegitimate offspring.

"I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry, and that's extra scary to me. Cause there's a large, out of focus monster roaming the countryside. 'Run, he's fuzzy, get out of here!'"

It does look humanoid. If it were only one (assuming TFA is real) I'd think it was a deformed kid from a villager who sent it off into the woods to fend for itself. There being three others...

Seriously, WTF?

IT WAS NOTHING LIKE THAT, PENIS BREATH!

They finally got him... they FINALLY got him... *sniff*...

I can finally sleep well tonight. First time in 13 years. Knowing I'll be able to sleep in a world with some sense of justice in it.

Lord, I have never prayed to you before, I have not the tongue for it. Yesterday, as it was in countless days prior, I cursed you for your inaction in allowing this thing to perpetuate my living nightmare. Today I have but one thing to say, and it is "Thank You". If you are real, and command me to an afterlife at some later date, I would be happy to buy you a beer, and I shall still ask- "BTW, that Jar-Jar thing- what the fark WAS that?" but I'm at peace now, and may be capable of finally understanding your answer.

Dow Jones and the Temple of Doom: Did some research on the photo, apparently it's been making the rounds for a few years.

It's apparently real, though not of an unknown creature. It's a human infant with arcania. Sad.

"Well, I was born without the top of my skull and I guess a little bit of my brains was showin' and it was grossin' everybody out so my mom put this wig on me to cover it up and then the bones grew together and it got all infused and entwined. I mean I don't mean to get all scientific with you."

whistleridge: Sorry, I don't buy it.

These days, everyone has cell phones with functional cameras on them. I just got back from 2 years in the deep African bush, and even little kids out in the middle of nowhere had Chinese knockoffs of good phone brands. If this is the best photo they can produce, I'm going to call 'hoax'.
