So you agree with me then? None of them have the muscle bulk to perform the extreme feats of strength attributed to bigfoot.
Also, look at their training. Your woods hobo would need to do more than them in order to be able to do all the stuff all those |

Just to clarify, the bigfooters do not say that these samples are HSS, what they are claiming is that heretofore, the samples were close enough to human that they did not show anything unusual when first being screened by forensic testing, or later through BLAST.
What is more incredulous is that an asphalt engineer could use an excel spread sheet to run statistics on the mitochondrial sequences and from that determine that we have something unique when it took complex algorithms to figure out where the Neandertal DNA differed from HSS DNA. |

^ Oh that's what you mean. Well, adult male chimps are about 100lbs yet they are stronger than any of us. They generate more strength, even though they are smaller. Now, Sasquatch don't use tools so they would evolve to rely on their physical attributes instead. Multiply that 100lb chimp by 6 or more and you've now got the strongest animal in North America.

I'm saying that size and strength don't correlate well between us and wild animals that don't use tools.

I'm not making things up here. I'm actually trying to bring some sense into this little world of scepticism.

What ? That is all you bring to this. You make up everything.. well everything that you have seen that someone else made up ? I will give you half the credit. Could you make up some more things for us ? Do they bowl or play family games for example ? What is their favorite food on fridays ? Can they fan themselves to keep cool ? Do BF prefer a certain type of coyote to hang out with ?

^As far as I know, they have a dislike for canines.
ETA - And believe me I'm not making these up. Same goes for what I've said about Dr. Ketchum's study, Dr. Meldrum, Bill Munns ect ect Otherwise I should change my name to LeroySquatch |

Check and mate.
Any shred of respect you may have had here is now gone. The next time you start posting on a site make sure you understand what that site is about and who your audience is. |

LOL. I understand what I'm dealing with. The posts I see in PGF threads have shown me that nicely. Lets just say Leroy Blevins isn't the greatest man for debunking things. hahahaha

If bigfoot killed a dog, bigfoot DNA would be all over the dog's body.
You seem very interested in bigfoot DNA. There would also be bigfoot hairs all over the place. If the dog scratched bigfoot, as it surely would, there'd be bigfoot tissue under the dog's nails. The dog also likely got in a bite or two, drawing bigfoot blood. But don't take it seriously, or anything... Just claim bigfoot killed the dog and move on... |

@night walker I honestly don't know. If you join bigfootforums, there are people who will be able to answer these questions better than I can.

Imagine the skunk in the irrigation tube scenario, why would a predator of such legend have to resort to such potentially hazardous prey? Maybe Foots remembers some herbal remedy from it's civilized past that deodorizes skunk stank or something.

thats okay, they say the same thing about this place and both have some funny and ironic points.
There: operate on the presumption the creature exists and can border on cultish belief in certain circles. Here: The cultishness is dedicated to debunking not consideration of all evidence. Both have their flaws. |

All anyone needs to do is show us some decent evidence.

What evidence are we supposed to consider?
"Look I saw a bigfoot" We can't do much with that. "Look I got me a DNA sample. It's a match to humans. Told you bigfoot was real" "Look here at this awful footage I got. Just pretend it ain't all shakin' about. And it's clear. And in focus. And isn't just a shadow." "We've got us a self proclaimed expert. You can tell they're good cause the word pro is in the word proclaimed. He tells me bigfoot's real. You can trust him. He ain't ever lied. Except when he did. Lot's of times actually... But we're going to ignore those times out of convenience." "Here's some bigfoot footprints. You can tell bigfoot made them because they're bigfoot footprints. It's right there in the name" Do you have something that isn't this? I would like to see it. |

I think all of Bigfootry has signed the Ketchum NDA (non-disclosure agreement), they have all agreed not to disclose any example of actual Bigfoot evidence.
