A lot of these ugly creatures get a bad rap. As you can see below, this guy looks like a monster:
But in reality he is a rare, deep sea Chimaera.

Triassic Park
For anyone who is a fan of raptors and the T-Rex, we may be closer to ever (at least according to the book). Move over Besse Cooper, there is a new oldest organism in town. In Italy, scientists discovered the oldest creatures ever recorded, 230 MILLION years old. The best part: They are encased in amber! If that doesn’t make the 4 year old in you stand up and scream at the top of your lungs, then you are dead inside. Not only that, but these mites (I know, mosquitoes are so much sexier) are almost identical to their modern day descendants. This may not seem like a big deal, but that means that evolutionarily speaking, these critters are at the top of their game, along side the shark and the cockroach. Full story here.
Bigfoot Squashing
A Montana man was struck and killed on a highway pretending to be Bigfoot. If that doesn’t deserve a Darwin award, I don’t know what does. This fool had on a sniper-like outfit, and was trying to provoke people into calling in a Bigfoot sighting. While doing this, he was struck by a 15 year old, and a 17 year old driving to school. Let’s ignore the fact that a 15 year old was driving. Now, because of this idiot, two High School girls have to live with the fact that they accidentally killed a man. I could spend hours trying to convince them they did the world a favor, but that is not going to change their lives from this point on.
I am not one to wish harm on others, not am I happy this happened. I think Karma had a part to play. While I do not take Bigfoot seriously, others do. It is moronic hoaxers like this that ruin, and muddy the waters for people who take these subjects seriously and want to get to the bottom of the mysteries of the world.
Monster Search: Loch Ness Edition day 528,516
Okay I am the first to admit that I am extremely skeptical when it comes to cryptozoology. I personally do not believe in the Loch Ness Monster, nor am I convinced the picture in this article is that of a mythical creature from 565AD.
However, I do love this sort of stuff, and I like mainstream attention to these topics taken in a serious way. Therefore, I am linking it for your review, despite my personal feelings of improbability.
