Climategate

The Anthropogenic Global Warming theory is coming unraveled it appears. Apparently some sort of hacker broke in to some computer somewhere and stole thousands of e-mails showing the conspiracy to perpetrate this hoax on the rest of us. Here are some stories about it:

The Final Nail
Congressional investigation
Junk Science
The Fix is In

I don't know how this will percolate out but it's definitely a big earthquake in the AGW proponent's world.

Oh look! The Loch Ness Monster!

I don't use Google Earth but this is the second time I think someone has found an interesting thing that I've blogged about here. Someone thinks they may have spotted the Loch Ness Monster there. I don't know if it's true or not but it's an interesting picture nonetheless.

Or maybe not

As these "discoveries" tend to go, it looks like "Atlantis" may not exist where someone thought it did after all.

First Bigfoot, now the Loch Ness Monster

A few weeks ago, I posted about someone who claimed to have found a Bigfoot carcass that turned out to be a big rubber gorilla suit. Well, now I've come across a claim that someone has actual surveillance footage of the Loch Ness Monster. You can read what I found here and it includes a link to a Swedish website that has the actual video. Fortunately, you don't have to be able to read/speak Swedish to watch the video.

It never pays to lie

Ouch. According to this article, "Bigfoot" was just a big, hairy, rubber gorilla suit. Also, if you remember correctly, one of the perpetrators of this hoax was a police officer who was on administrative leave. Well, at the end of the article, the sheriff says he has already filled out paperwork to fire this policeman for this stunt. You'd think he would know better than to try to pull off a stunt like that.

Bigfoot is a big opossum?

Well, it turns out that Bigfoot is a cross between a man and an opossum. So says this article, among many others. I wonder what these guys expect to get out of this story if they don't have the real thing? There must be some money in this or something. Maybe they just like to see their name in the paper.
