A footprint was discovered in the jungle of Sumatra, and yet another candid was taken in Kentucky.

The Mahoneys of Jefferson County, Kentucky believe they have caught a picture of Bigfoot on their motion-sensitive camera, which they set up to find out where all their vegetables were disappearing to. This is what they caught:


But don't take our word for it, here they are, explaining the whole discovery.


Meanwhile, in the Sumatra Jungle a couple believe they stumbled on the elusive Orang Pendek. Which is more of a smaller Bigfoot, or "Jungle Ape Man" as the stories describe. They didn't get a picture of the creature, but managed to take a shot of its footprint, and grabbed a sample of rattan palm it was chewing on for DNA evidence.


Witnesses have described the beast as being about 5ft tall and say that it walks on two legs.

It is thought to be extremely powerful - with reports of onlookers seeing it ripping apart logs.

Both stories were found at The Sun, so it's gotta be true. But you be the judge — until the DNA evidence comes back.

<![CDATA[OMFG Bigfoot]]> They found Bigfoot! That's right, you heard me: Bigfoot. For all you disbelievers, they have a picture to prove it as well. No, that's not the remnants of a bear with a gorilla mask thrown on top, that's Bigfoot. Tomorrow, there will be a huge press conference deciding finally whether or not it actually is a mutant sasquatch, when it clearly is. But no one is asking the important questions here. What about Bigfoot's rights? And where the hell are the Hendersons in all of this? Click through for a closer look and the big question that will hopefully be addressed tomorrow.

According to the press release the creature that was discovered is 7 feet and 7 inches tall, and weighs 500 pounds. His feet are flat and it was found in the Northern woods of Georgia. (Actual location isn't being revealed).

First and foremost what about Bigfoot's rights? Is he man or beast? If he's a man doesn't he get burial rights?

Where do you bury Bigfoot? I've heard he's Canadian. If he is, in fact, of Canadian origin, that's a ton of paperwork his loved ones will have to go to to transfer the body through the border while deciding if it's animal remains or human remains. I know I've been on the phone trying to get to the bottom of this question with the Canadian embassy for some time. Also, if he's Canadian, how did he get so far from home?

What if he has no one to claim his remains, will he become a burden of the state? Will the United States government try and find his lineage? It saddens me thinking of Bigfoot in one of those standard government style burials. This is fucking Bigfoot people, show a little respect.


Here are the gentleman that discovered the gentle beast. From the left, Mathew Whitton, Tom Biscardi, and Rick Dyer gather round a cooler full of Bigfoot.

I'll be covering the all-important Bigfoot press conference tomorrow at 12 PM Pacific Coast Time. At the conference they will be revealing pictures and DNA evidence. Hopefully they will reveal the DNA evidence like Maury's "who's your daddy" episodes.

So stay tuned and hopefully they will be able to answer all of my questions tomorrow, as opposed to the "you'll have to wait" comment I got earlier.

<![CDATA[Sasquatch Sighting: Reality TV Development Deal for Canadian City?]]> A pair of hikers exploring the Grassy Narrows in Ontario stumbled upon a berry-fancying big foot. They described it as being "about eight feet long and all black." One hiker told CBC news, "The way it walked was upright, human-like, but more — I don't know how to describe it — more of a husky walk, I guess. It didn’t look normal.” Has the sasquatch become a Canadian?

The shadowy creature was spotted in Northwestern Ontario around 10 a.m. by Helen Pahpasay and her mother. The women even claim that others later found a large, six-toed footprint in the area (six toes!). Apparently this is the second sighting of a big foot-esque creature the general region, and there were sightings in 2006 in the woods of Northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan. It's all adding up, people. We're mere moments away from a reality TV version of Harry and the Hendersons, set in Prince Albert, Sask.
