Amazing Bigfoot discovery!
From what I can tell from news reports, yesterday's press conference by Bigfoot hunters claiming to have found a Sasquatch corpse in Georgia had some startling revelations. One is DNA results that answer the question: Just what is Bigfoot?
DNA samples from a presumed Bigfoot corpse returned positive results for human and opossum genes. That confirms theories about interbreeding spawned in the wake of the movie Deliverance which featured two men mating in order to make a pig in the Georgia woods.
The Bigfoot hunters are keeping their pile of fur and guts in the fridge (or is it Al Capone's vault?) for the time being, though they have released photos. If this isn't a human/opossum mix, it may be an even more important discovery: the original costume from the 1953 movie Robot Monster, which features a cave dwelling alien invader in a gorilla suit suspiciously like the one found in Georgia. Only the hard-hat diving helmet is missing.
If the Bigfoot hunters want to know what to do with their find, I suggest they bring it to the Northwest, which has a long tradition of displaying corpses for public entertainment and edification, such as Sylvester at Ye Olde Curiosity Shoppe. (He even has his own bobblehead!) It might make a good companion for an old favorite, Jake the Alligator Man in Long Beach.

Bigfoot belongs here!: I agree, those big bad Georgia boys need to bring him home to Seattle. Harry and the Hendersons, a 1987 film starring John Lithgow and Melinda Dillon, was all about Bigfoot and filmed in the Pacific Northwest: Seattle, Index, Lake Kachess, North Bend, North Cascades National Park, Snoqualamie Pass and Wenatchee National Forest. It even won an Oscar in 1988 for Best Makeup. Maybe a good home would be Seattle's Museum of History and Industry, where he could hold court with Bobo the Gorilla. Bobo was a Seattle celebrity from his days at the Woodland Park Zoo. Plus, he was born the same year as me -- 1951. Sadly, he died at the age of 17, with his companion Fifi by his side.
