    Everyone knows that Sasquatches mummify their dead and install them in hidden temples under the Pacific Northwest.

    Mrs. Bigfoot knows where to find her Bigfoot bone. Right Mister Bigfoot?

    Right, I'd say it again.

    So we can't find Bigfoot because they're all in hiding from vampiric, calcium deficient, porcupines...

    Sounds like SyFy has 2 new movies in the works. You're welcome.

    @CoffinDodger (If the typos crap. Blame my keyboard): No, because the Porcupines aren't killing Bigfoot (as far as we know), they're just stealing and hiding the corpses.

    Well, if people are willing to believe in Bigfoot, then I'm sure they'd be willing to believe in my Theory of Revolution, whereby all living creatures are descendants of Dog (yes, Dog, not God).

    If interested, read the details here:

    [blogs.suntimes.com]

    I have another, more polished, version but it's in my personal website and I'd rather not publicize my real identity online unless I have a really good reason.

    A warning: it might unintentionally offend some people's sensibilities.

    Oh, I forgot to mention that the issue of bones is an important part of my "theory" and that's why this article reminded me of it. You'll understand it if/when you read it.

    @Roklimber: Having not read your article, I can only assume you mean Dog the Bounty Hunter... and I'm definitely on board with that theory.

    And I can only assume that this "issue of bones" refers to the bone I get every time I see his glorious mullet.

    Do not laugh when the herse goes by
    for you may be the next to die
    They wrap you up in a big black sheet
    And drop you down about six feet
    All goes well for about a week,
    Then your coffin starts to leak.
    And the worms crawl in and the worms crawl out,
    The worms play pinicole on your snout.
    They eat your eyes and they eat you nose,
    They eat the jelly between you toes,
