Believe in Bigfoot?

Here is an example of what I was talking about. I am a fan of Les Stroud. He is very knowledgeable in regards to outdoor survival and woodsmanship skills. Here he offers "proof that sasquatch exists". After watching this I can only say that what he is talking about is subject to interpretation, it is not really proof. Evidence is 97%, proof is 100%! See what you think.

Mr. Lockwood,

If you cover the sprouts with enough cheese then they become edible. Thus proving the existence of God

You must have more hatred for sprouts than a entire kindergarten class put together.

Mr. Lockwood the little sprouts are your friends. They are full of vitamins and minerals and not to mention fiber. They won't hurt you.

So I'm at a bar on Guadalcanal. The war is over, but not really because the economy hasn't totally tanked yet and the purported retard peace keeping force is (RAMSI) still there.

For years all we've had is BBC, but somehow Stroud's Aitutaki episode comes on. It's Pacific, so it gets some attention from locals and the remaining militants alike. We watch Stroud chase fish with a stick and laugh.

Then he's winging like a pom about being hungry. So I get up in front of the TV and portray his anxiety. Meanwhile, a couple mates get up, and pretend to uproot the immature coconuts behind me/him, smash them open, and eat the nutritious foam meat.

By now the crowd is roaring. They're all drunk, and they're throwing cans at Stroud (me) because he (I'm) such a moron that knows less than a child about survival- which they all well know, having been in a civil war.

Then at night with his NV camera he goes on about how hard it is to find food, with the lights of town behind him looking like Long Beach before Black Friday. Half the crowd is on the floor having wet their pants in laughter.

Yeah, that's about as realistic as bigfoot. Then there's the Solomon Island Giants morons who insist there are UFO bases upstream of Bonegi. Been there. No UFOs.

I'm all for the unknown. Tennent told me there were no P. jupiter on San Cristobal until I handed him one. And the locals in KiraKira accurately described (without knowing what they were seeing) a silent airship piloted by an elephant man (that would be a US military helo we would find out about after the Bin Laden raid). Bigfoot? They're on Gcanal and everywhere else. But zero evidence. I'd like to believe. It's not the lack of scientific evidence, it's the reliability of the reporters. When the KK locals tell me about elephant men in silent UFOs with red and green lights I can figure that out. When a Viking spearpoint is found on the shores of Lake Ontario, I think the "they traded it with indiginous" is myopic. But when I hear about psychic bigfoot and other giants, I'm not sold.

If anyone outside of the Insectnet community were to read our posts, I can't help but wonder what their opinion of us would be! How the hell did we get from Bigfoot to Brussel sprouts!?! Oh yeah.... someone was discussing the existence of God in regards to sprouts being somehow something of an ungodly creation. You guys ain't right, as we here in Tennessee say!

Amen to that brother! I am already looking for some new collecting locations. This year I will be hunting Catocala atocala, and Catocala agrippina. (already got my new Lacrosse knee-high boots!)
