(Not) Very Ape and (Not) Very Nice

Update: The so-called "Georgia Gorilla" has been outed as a hoax by the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization. The corpse was apparently a crude variant of this Halloween costume.

On the plus side, the BFRO is mounting a field expedition to search for the FL Skunk-Ape in rural North Florida on October 9-12. I don't know if I'll have time, but... intriguing.

Big, Dumb, Balding North American Ape

In the annals of human history, August 12, 2008 will be remembered for two things: the release of the Jonas Brothers' third album A Little Bit Longer, featuring the hit single "Burnin' Up," and the [potential] discovery of a Bigfoot corpse.

The press conference is Friday (in Palo Alto). Until then, get ready for two golden days of classic Internet hype!! I will be closely monitoring underground cryptozoological backchannels... stay tuned.
