To all the people out there saying "If you have a body of bigfoot, why don't you just call some scientists out, and have them examine the body?", I
answer thusly: Do you REALLLY think they would actually come out if you said you had a body of bigfoot frozen in your freezer?
Here's how the call would go:
"Hello, Mr. Anthropologist. My name is Sir_chancealot, and I have a bigfoot body in my freezer. I'd like for you to come out and examine it."
*click* "Hmm... we must have got disconnected! I'll call someone else."
"Hello, Mr. Coroner. My name is Sir_chancealot, and I have a bigfoot body in my freezer. I'd like for you to come out and do an autopsy on it."
*click* "Hmm... we must have got disconnected! I'll call someone else."
"Hello, Mr. Veterinarian. My name is Sir_chancealot, and I have a bigfoot body in my freezer. I'd like for you to come out and examine it."
*click* "Hmm... we must have got disconnected! I'll call someone else."
Remember people, it took YEARS for the Wright Brothers to be believed. Everyone thought it was a hoax.
A long time ago, there was a science fiction short story about a guy who could levitate. I forget the title, and who wrote it (I think it was Isaac
Asimov, but can't remember for sure). Anyway, this physicist wakes up one day, and finds out that he can levitate at will. So, he tries to get his
physicist buddies to check it out. They all think he is crazy. So, he writes to the Army, and tries to get them to check it out. They think he is
crazy too. He tries getting all these people to check it out, because he thinks that if they can understand it, they can duplicate it, and everyone
can do it. Everyone thinks he's crazy. So, he goes and sees a psychiatrist. The scientist shows him how he can, through psychology, get people to
believe him. So, he goes to a physics conference. Everytime someone speaks, he starts levitating in the back row. As soon as the speaker says
something to him, he quits levitating, and then denies that he was ever levitating. This goes on more and more, and every time someone sees him
levitating, he denies it. Finally, the government send agents out to check on the stories. He levitates in front of them, and then denies every
doing it, saying they must be crazy. They finally end up saying something like "We know you are doing it, and you are trying to hide the fact that
you can do it.", and talk him into going in to be "studied" to find out how he does it. Think about that, anytime you get the urge to go "Why
don't you just call scientists to study it" on ANYTHING that is out of the ordinary.
I said to myself, if they don't produce a body, or produce reputable scientists who have examined the body, it's a hoax.
BUT HOW IN GOD'S NAME CAN ANYONE SAY THIS IS A HOAX, WHEN THEY CLAIM TO HAVE A BODY, AND SAY THEY ARE GOING TO SHOW IT ON FRIDAY?! I'd think if you
were an actual skeptic, and not a debunker or shill, you'd at least wait until Friday at the news conference.
Think about this: If the reports of these guys' professions are to be believed, one of them is a police officer. If he is lying, can you just
IMAGINE the field day the attorneys of the people he has/will arrest are going to have with this? If it is a hoax, he just hoaxed himself out of his
career.
What I find additionally funny is the "debunkers" that are going "It's pretty coincidental that the pictures look just like a costume found on the
internet", but yet they ignore the, literally, HUNDREDS of "coincidences" on 9/11!
to iterate: If they don't produce a body, or produce reputable people (anthropologist/forensic pathologist/veterinarian/coroner) who have examined
the body, then AND ONLY THEN, can you have grounds to call it a hoax.
