While those are all stories worth watching, I think it is obviously clear that the biggest story is this - BIGFOOT BODY FOUND!. Yes, you read that correctly. According to the site - "A body that may very well be the body of the creature commonly known as 'Bigfoot' has been found in the woods in northern Georgia." More details are scheduled to be released on Friday.
From a Sasquatch-joins-the-looming-animal-uprising perspective, this is truly terrifying. And, as some may remember, my home state of Ohio is apparently known for two things - Bigfoot sightings and drinking cheap vodka. I can only imagine the vodka-fueled fervor that this is going to create!
Anyone want to take any bets on whether the body of old sasy here has a bag of
Jack Link's Beef Jerky in its hand?
