Y halo thar everehwun.

(If this belongs in Unmoderated, my apologies. I can't post there for some reason, anyway.)

Anyway, here's the story. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,24179242-2,00.html

I don't know if this is a hoax or not. It just looks like a really bad gorilla costume. Also, I SEE NO BIG FEET.

What do you guys think?

[_JeT_]

Hoax, I say.

I heard/read, somewhere, that the scientist who did all the tests is related to the guy who found it.

Also, the fact that the person is concealing all other evidence, such as location and conclusive photos/videos. Hate to say it, but most people would exploit something like this, for their own personal profit.

Of course, I don't really care, either way, the evolutionists will be excited about something.

I heard something similar to that. Someone related to the guy who found it was posing as a scientist and "interviewed" him. The "scientist" later admitted that he wasn't really a scientist.

It's a hoax. Been proven a few days ago.

[Uberpwn_w00t]

Yep. Heard about it.

[_JeT_]

You're a hoax, Archem!!!

Anyway, I was hoping it would be real, as it would give me an excuse to actually go hunting.

[Fisherson]

It was stupid of them to even do this. You know they were thinking about going after Leperchons next?
Poor Leperchons.

You're a hoax, Archem!!!

What about all the sightings? I have a picture of him!

[_JeT_]

Impossible, Archem is just a government conspiracy. All photos are either fake, or the subject in the photo is merely posing as this "Archem". He was created back in 1963, and has been under wraps, until a few years ago.

On July 9, 2008, two hikers, Rick Dyer and Matthew Whitton, posted a video to YouTube claiming that they had discovered the body of a deceased Sasquatch in a forest in northern Georgia. Steve Kulls of Sasquatchdetective.com and Sasquatchdetective Radio posted a video response asking them to appear on his radio program on July 28, 2008. After an hour long phone interview with Dyer on July 28, Kulls contacted Tom Biscardi, a long-time Bigfoot enthusiast and CEO of Searching for Bigfoot, Inc. At that time they decided that Biscardi would take over the investigation. He traveled to Georgia on August 1, 2008 to look at the body (named "Rickmat" by Dyer and Whitton[40]). Biscardi was given samples of genetic material by Dyer and Whitton. Biscardi then hand delivered the samples to Dr. Curt Nelson in Michigan.[41] One sample was shown to contain human DNA and another sample opossum DNA, while a third was inconclusive. Biscardi suggested that the opossum DNA could be attributed to the stomach contents of the carcass.[42][43][44] On August 4, Dyer and Whitton entered into a contract with Searching for Bigfoot, Inc. On August 12, Dyer and Whitton requested an undisclosed sum of money from Searching for Bigfoot, Inc., as a good faith gesture. They received their requested funds on August 14. Biscardi had originally planned a press conference after the body had been examined by scientists, but Dyer and Whitton refused to turn the body over to his company unless the press conference were held first. The press conference took place on August 15, 2008. On August 16, the alleged Bigfoot body arrived with the Searching for Bigfoot team. The body was in a block of ice in a freezer. It was estimated to weigh about 1500 pounds, and at first began thawing at room temperature to avoid additional decomposition. When some hair was exposed, it was tested and found to be uncharacteristic of hair. At that point, heat was applied to speed thawing. Once the head was exposed, it felt hollow when researchers touched it. Once the feet were exposed, it was confirmed that they were made of rubber. Biscardi was immediately contacted, who confronted Dyer and Whitton. They admitted the "body" was a costume. Biscardi set up a meeting with Dyer and Whitton so that they would sign a promissory note and admission of what they had done. When Biscardi arrived at the hotel room where the meeting was to take place, he found that Dyer and Whitten had left. It is still unclear as to Dyer and Whitton's (a seven-year veteran with the Clayton County Police Department) motivation behind the hoax.[41]

Fish: "No, that's imposible!"

Jet: "Search your feelings, you know it to be true!"

Fish: "NOOOO!!"

[Archem]

I'm the best hoax there is.

I don't know... France is a pretty great hoax, too.

Is "for the lulz" a valid motive?

[Uberpwn_w00t]

I see no reason for it not to be.
