File this under interesting sights: A guy walks into a bar and sits down next to a....Chinese giant. No joke. Yesterday was chilly and I was headed to the downtown Seattle Koolhaus to do some library work. I dropped in at Shucker's restaurant in the Fairmont Olympic hotel because I remembered they have a really good chowder (I remembered right). I sat at the bar and next to me was Yao Ming, the Houston Rockets' basketball player who is 7-foot 6-inches tall. He's tall enough to be slender at a listed 310 pounds. (Now I know how tall I need to be to be HWP!)
When Bigfoot was a no-show at Bigfoot Day in Willow Creek, Calif., last fall, I speculated that it was perhaps because the elusive Northwest forest giant was a known shapeshifter. But new evidence has emerged that Sasquatch might merely have changed venues. Recent photographic evidence from NASA suggests he's on Mars.
