If this is true, then it's got to be the find of the century: Searching for Bigfoot has released some teaser photographs of what they claim is the remains of Bigfoot in northern Georgia:
*The creature is seven feet seven inches tall.
*It weighs over five hundred pounds.
*The creature looks like it is part human and part ape-like.
*It is male.
*It has reddish hair and blackish-grey eyes.
*It has two arms and two legs, and five fingers on each hand and five toes on each foot.
*The feet are flat and similar to human feet.
*Its footprint is sixteen and three-quarters inches long and five and three-quarters inches wide at the heel.
*From the palm of the hand to the tip of the middle finger, its hands are eleven and three-quarters inches long and six and one-quarter inches wide.
*The creatures walk upright. (Several of them were sighted on the same
day that the body was found.)
*The teeth are more human-like than ape-like.
The creature was found by Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, who are keeping the exact location a secret to protect the creatures (yes, supposedly there were live ones other than just the one dead body). Tom Biscardi of Searching for Bigfoot is supposed to present DNA and photographic evidence of the find on Friday August 15, 2008.

(Note: scientists are skeptical, noting that Biscardi had similar claims before that turned out to be a hoax
Loren Coleman of Cryptomundo wrote "I feel, in all honesty, this, indeed, may be the real deal, and I say this from visual information that has been shared with me." Cryptomundo's supposed to have the first photos of the creature, but the blog has been down most of the day).
Wake me when the DNA evidence shows that this body is a new species of hominid. (which does not mean when DNA evidence says 'inconclusive' or 'matches no known animal'...and thing BF'ers try to pass off for 'BF match')

Also, who the hell would make the discovery of a lifetime and then only agree to submit limited evidence. Perpetual Machinists, Crypto-zoologists, and those individuals that claim to have found the secret to 50 MPG Mustangs. All smell the same.
That's my mother in law.
Seriously though, Having been brought up in the Northern Maine woods, a tongue does not stick out due to freezing. Found a few unfortunate animals to know that.
Coff coff bulllllshit!
Smells like a hoax:(
Since the other sites are down there are also pictures here: http://www.coasttocoastam.com/gen/page2689.html?theme=light
Looks like a costume to me.
Here's how our summer has gone thus far...
1) Alien in the window?
2) Montauk Monster found dead?
3) Video on cnn of "el chubacabre"
and finally
4) Dead bigfoot
I'm voting that the Loch Ness Monster will wash up on shore next, or maybe the Yeti? Oh wait...I did see the Yeti in that horrible Mummy 3.
Pretty disapointing to see this on Neatorama.

Any more dumb sightings?
Have you seen the 'organs' laying on it? Last I recalled, organs were bloody and not so perfect and pretty. Not to mention the hair looks absolutely puppet-like.
Boo! Two thumbs down.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHA
A photoshopped Chewbacca picture. Stupid.
'Carry on with your perfectly logical lives that leave no room for questions.'
Most 'logical' people here would be excited by giant squid autopsies and revelations of amazing new particles found in physics. They would be excited by the prospects of new discoveries on Mars, the possibilities of life on Titan, and the idea of extremophiles surviving where nothing should survive. Science is fascinating.
The fact that people are reduced to being fascinated over bigfoot claims and accusing 'logical' people of lacking the appreciation of questioning, I fear for humanity.

Biscardi's defense was that the results were contaminated by the people administering the test
o well wwe all know it is just another hoax it is amazing what people will do for 3days in the spotlight isnt it?
I think that it's neat, and interesting. last time I checked this was neatorama. If you think the story is dumb, don't read it.
duh.
