Do You Know This Person?

JUST IN FROM PFIZER

Pfizer Corp. announced today that Viagra will soon be available in
liquid form, and will be marketed by Pepsi Cola as a power beverage
suitable for use as a mixer. It will now be possible for a man to literally pour himself a stiff one.

Obviously we can no longer call this a soft drink, and it gives new
meaning to the names of ; 'cocktails', 'highballs' and just a good
old-fashioned 'stiff drink'. Pepsi will market the new concoction by
the name of: MOUNT & DO.

My friend who runs the National Trust for Scotland just returned from a trip and sent me some beautiful pictures of Castle Howard in England. You might remember from an earlier blog that Curt is the brother of Kate DiCamillo.

New Sighting Report from Near Ocala National Forest, Marion County Florida

The witness said the sightings took place the last week of July, 2008.

Witness was driving to work in very early morning hours (about
4:30am) from Ocala to Orlando as she has done for many years. She
said movement on the right side of the road caught her eye and she
slowed at first thinking it might be a deer about to dart across the
road. She said she saw something duck under a rail fence that had
the two bottom rails out of a particular section. The creature then
stood up on two legs and covered the ten or twelve feet from the
fence to the road quickly then crossed the road in front of her in
four or five strides. She estimated the distance from her to the
creature at about 125 feet.

The creature then walked into the driveway of a home and started
rumaging through the bed of a pick up truck as though it was looking
for something. It was at this time that her car approached and the
creature became aware of its presence. She said the creature stopped
moving and its head followed the vehicle as it passed by.

Witness described the creature as being at least seven feet tall,
dark fur (either brown or black), long arms, and although she could
not make out facial features, she said the coloring of the face
reminded her of that of a German Shephard. The creature had a
hunched posture and looked as though its build was quite lean.
Witness said the creature had an "ape-like" walk but she remarked on
how fluid and athletically it moved. The creature did not make any
movements or motions toward her car though she felt that they met
eyes because she felt a chill run up her spine when she realized
that the creature was looking directly at her. She sped back up and
continued on her way.

Witness then reported driving on the same road at about the same
time the next morning and, as she passed by the same residential
area, she says she saw what she believes was the same creature
walking through the neighborhood. She slowed only slightly and does
not believe the creature saw her the second time.

Physical details:
At least 7' tall
Long dark fur (3-4")
Hunched posture
Lean build
Long arms
Ape-like gate
Surprisingly agile

Witness said creature appeared to be foraging the first day and she
assumed it was doing the same the next day. She first saw the
creature clearly in her headlights as it crossed the road and there
was some ambient light in the neighborhood in question that allowed
her to see the creature as she passed by both days.

A follow-up conversation with the witness revealed that she was
quite shaken by the experience to the point where she has not
returned to the area since the confirming second day sighting. (She
wasn't quite sure if she really saw what she did the first day.) She
used the words "reality changing" about her experience.

Those of us that have had our own experiences can empathize with her
instinctual reaction but her aloof behavior when it comes to
providing location information has given, at least to me, a dubious
air to her claim. She has been very forthcoming in relating the
events but has dried up completely when it comes to allowing me even
to know where this happened. The only location information I have
gotten from her at all is that she thought the Ocala National Forest
was about ten miles away.

Dr. Jeff Meldrum Names It "Anthropoides Ameriborealis"

Last October, Meldrum presented some of his evidence to a symposium of 40 paleontologists at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History, and emerged with a peer-reviewed published paper acknowledging that what he'd collected were not the prints of a known species, nor were they hoaxes, but genuine casts of an unknown North American primate.

Meldrum was given the authority to classify the beast with a taxonomic name, the Anthropoides Ameriborealis, which translates into North American ape. It might not seem like much compared with a body in a freezer, but in the uphill battle of Bigfoot science, it's a huge step, and as close to acknowledged scientific proof as anything seen to date. " It has certainly helped me shift the perception from that of tabloid fodder into the area of biology." says Meldrum. "But a new species will only be recognized when DNA is collected."

Here is a PDF of the actual paper.

George Carlin on Growing Old and Dying

“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What’s that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you’re too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you’re young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating in a spa with central heating and you finish off as an orgasm.”

Scientists Interested In Large Footprint Discovery

Fossil Imprint Is 11 Inches Wide, 15 inches Long

Reported By Dennis Ferrier

POSTED: 6:23 pm CDT September 5, 2008

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- A retired Cookeville builder has discovered a mysterious set of large footprints on his property. Harold Jackson is an amateur archaeologist who enjoys collecting arrowheads and other Native American artifacts. But the most extraordinary find of his life came on his property near the Caney Fork River.For months he stepped on a rock near his house that caught his eye. Finally, he brought the unusual rock home and cleaned it up. After all of the mud was removed, a remarkable discovery was revealed.

Most Human-chimp Differences Due To Gene Regulation - Not Genes

The vast differences between humans and chimpanzees are due more to changes in gene regulation than differences in individual genes themselves, researchers from Yale, the University of Chicago, and the Hall Institute in Parkville, Victoria, Australia, argue in the 9 March 2006 issue of the journal Nature.

The scientists provide powerful new evidence for a 30-year-old theory, proposed in a classic paper from Mary-Claire King and Allan Wilson of Berkeley. That 1975 paper documented the 99-percent similarity of genes from humans and chimps and suggested that altered gene regulation, rather than changes in coding, might explain how so few genetic changes could produce the wide anatomic and behavioral differences between the two.
