Biscardi was in on it. He knew it was fake to begin with, and he set
up the corpse using a head from one of his costumes plus other items.
I doubt the thing was ever frozen to begin with. The three are lying.
They were lying from the beginning, and they're lying even know.

Let me put it this way, Tom Biscardi isn't one of the parents, but he
supplied the nursery.

The hunt was on Wednesday for two North American forest-roaming bipeds,
last seen in Northern California, present whereabouts unknown.

Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, the Georgia men who claimed to have found a
Bigfoot body, were being sought by Tom Biscardi, whose money they
absconded with once the frozen "corpse" was revealed to be a hoax.

"We have a contract with these people," Biscardi, a former Las Vegas
promoter now based in Menlo Park, Calif., told Fox News Wednesday morning.
"We paid them the money the night before [the press conference.] ... They
didn't figure I'd have a turbo heater on that thing to thaw it out before
they left California."

Biscardi wouldn't confirm where the body was, but it apparently had been
moved from Georgia to Indiana. An Indianapolis Fox affiliate was given a
look at the "corpse" Monday by Biscardi's investigator, Steve Kulls.

Asked to confirm rumors that he'd given Dyer and Whitton a $50,000 advance
on future earnings from the bogus Bigfoot, Biscardi would say only that
"it was a substantial amount of money" numbering in the thousands which
came from unnamed "investors."

He calls himself a specialist in diabetes and metabolic diseases, but
in 2003, his license to practice medicine was withdrawn, and in 2006
he was convicted by an Italian judge for wrongful death and swindling.

I happened on the following website and the links therein

claiming that a) Cancer is a fungus, and b) there is a really effective
treatment with sodium bicarbonate
injections which lower the acidity of the tissue.

Allow me to be very skeptic about this.
It is much cheaper to use good ol' cell phone technology.

Scientists to study synthetic telepathy

A team of UC Irvine scientists has been awarded a $4 million grant from
the
U.S. Army Research Office to study the neuroscientific and
signal-processing foundations of synthetic telepathy.

The research could lead to a communication system that would benefit
soldiers on the battlefield and paralysis and stroke patients, according
to
lead researcher Michael D'Zmura, chair of the UCI Department of Cognitive
Sciences.

"Thanks to this generous grant we can work with experts in automatic
speech
recognition and in brain imaging at other universities to research a
brain-computer interface with applications in military, medical and
commercial settings," D'Zmura says.

Darren Naish of Tetrapod Zoology (http://scienceblogs.com/
tetrapodzoology) would beg to differ with that. He has a post up at
TZ where he compares the photos he's seen and noted how the skull
differs from that of a dog, and more closely resembles that of a
raccoon.

Take note of the corpse's proportions. That animal is not built like
a dog, but like a raccoon. Darren takes pains to note how long the
creature's fingers are. You don't get fingers like that with a dog.
When you read Darren's post be sure to note the differences he lays
out between a canid and a procyid skull.

I don't think I've seen this posted here:

The Montauk Monster is a pit bull, a dogfighting
washout who washed up a Long Island beach. You
heard it here first.
Or maybe you heard it elsewhere first. Even with
Google Alert, it's not easy to keep track of the
rumors, speculation and rare pieces of actual
news concerning the odd-looking corpse found in
late July on a beach near Montauk, New York.

Dog rescues woman from kangaroo

An Australian woman has been saved by a pet dog which leapt to her aid
after she was attacked by a large kangaroo, her son has said.

The marsupial assaulted Rosemary Neal, 65, at her farm near Mudgee in New
South Wales, 265km (160 miles) north-west of Sydney, her son, Darren, said.

"The kangaroo just jumped up and launched straight at her," he said.

"My dog heard her screaming and bolted down and chased him off. If it
wasn't for the dog, she'd probably be dead."

Mrs Neal was taken to hospital with concussion and cuts to her face, hands
and back, her son said.

He added that the area had been overrun by kangaroos in recent years.

Kangaroos are widespread across Australia. Most species are not considered
aggressive toward humans.
