Myths

While researching his 2011 book Tracking the Man-beasts, he found a previously published catalogue of North American Sasquatch sightings. By organizing the sightings and their major characteristics into a continuum arranged by date and location, he was able to see patterns, and a fascinating theory emerged.

At first, the creatures showed enormous variation in color, height, behavior, foot size and even number of toes. To suggest a single undiscovered hominid living in the North American wilderness was one thing.

To suppose that dozens of different species existed, many of them in relatively populated places like Illinois and New jersey, "strains credulity," as Nickell put it.

The bigfoot story was never credible. It defies logic.

I think most bigfoot sightings are just hippy women living in the woods​

The Bigfoot shit is especially annoying since it's creator admitted the hoax on his death bed, but the many wackos who bought into it with much of their intellectual capital, couldn't face up to the truth and called him a liar.​

Residents in southeastern Wisconsin have recently been reporting sightings of a nocturnal creature invading their back yards. This photo was snapped by a woman as the creature sat in her back yard on its hind legs eating crab apples.

The photo was sent to the The Wildlife in Need Center where a spokeswomen said that while it “may point to the existence of the elusive and legendary El Chupacabra residing in southeastern Wisconsin” it most likely is “a gray or red fox with Sarcoptic Mange, caused by an infestation of mites.”

Many people were quick to label this creature a Chupacabra, but it has also been noted that this is not the first time kangaroo-like creatures have been reported in Waukesha County.

John Dillinger's cock is in the Smithsonian Institution.

Dillinger's appendage, reputed to have had a length in the twenty inch range, was believed to have been coveted by J. Edgar Hoover, who wished to have it in close proximity to The Bureau's head office, in Washington, D.C., for 'post mortum evidence gathering'.

The myth started because there was a second museum, located close to The Smithsonian, of 'medical oddities', including unusually large or small human organs, and Pickled punks. Many tourists entered the medical museum, thinking that it was part of The Smithsonian, and told their friends when they returned home that they had seen Dillinger's cock there.

Tomatoes are vegetables.

Tomatoes are fruits, because they reproduce by means of individual, self contained seeds.

In early colonial America, tomatoes were considered to be poisonous, and were called "wolf peaches".

"Spare the rod, and spoil the child" is a quote from The Bible.

It is a quote from Hudibras, a 17th century work by Samuel Butler. It paraphrases Proverbs 13:24: "He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes".

Sea Turtles are not fish.

We say duh, but many people in Mexico don't. They eat a lot of endangered turtles because they're not supposed to eat meat on Friday, per the Catholic Church, but fish is allowed, and recommended.

There's no Biblical precedent for the 'meatless Friday' rule. About 500 years ago, the fishermen in Italy wanted to increase their market share of the food industry, so they gave a lot of money to whoever was Pope at the time, to receive an edict that 'believers' were not to eat meat on Friday.

They still do it, because no subsequent Pope has changed the rule, and no Pope probably will, because that would be admitting that a previous Pope had not been infallible, and that the instruction had come from the paper God, not the one who used to smite folks for doing things that pissed him off.

Sid Vicious played bass for The Sex Pistols.

Sid had the look that Malcolm McLaren wanted for the Pistols, but he had no music talent. He was on stage, with a bass guitar around his neck, but one of the crew behind the stage was playing the bass parts. Sid's guitar wasn't even plugged in. He didn't know. He though he sounded pretty good, and he did, but it wasn't him.
