So tell me. How can this dead critter prevent people from taking photo's of it?So, tell us all about this critter. No. It's because you tell untruths so often that I no longer believe a thing you say.

Taken the title away from you have I?

You know =nothing= about cryptozoology, yet you blather on.

Tell yez, Gunny Ken, as far as weapons-grade blowhards go, you're the template.

However, on a related note, the masses seem to believe that it is indeed a raccoon. Jeff Corwin went on record indicating the beak we all see are actually canine teeth, and the front paws (hands) are definitely raccoon.

I am a huge fan of cryptozoolgy, the idea that there are things out there we have yet to set our eyes on intrigues me. (watch destination Truth on Sci-Fi, these guys do for creatures what the boys at Ghost Hunters do for spirits.)

This one incident definitely has a logical explanation IMHO. It's a big world out there, and we have only seen a small portion of it.

Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:C'mon, Tony. If Ken V. had clue one about cryptids, he wouldn't have shown the ignorant hostility he did. But the mighty gunny isn't interested in the facts. He delights in insulting me.

Ken Valentine Wrote:You have yet to explain how a dead animal -- regardless of what kind of animal it is -- can interfere with someone taking photo's of it. Which is, after all, what your original statement was about.

You made an idiotic statement, and I called you on it.

Stop your jabbering and answer the question.

Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:You'd know more about "idiotic statements" than anyone since Snake, Ken, but you do evince curiosity. Good first step!

I think large cryptids are not biological.

They come from the Undiscovered Country--the realm of UFOs, fairies, angels, and ghosts.

Know about the Black Dogs of the British Isles? There is no =doubt= they exist. And how about the "Water Horses" of Ireland? Same deal. Human testimony goes back through the ages. Frightened people went to the local priest when they saw one. And in Ireland back then, you did =not= lie to a priest. Not when you saw something you were afraid might have been from Satan's realm.

Fairies? Seen to this day. When I was 8, a lady from Ireland told me how she'd seen them in her parents' garden. She wasn't putting a child on. She was serious. I asked my foster-father about it. He told me, "We don't know everything yet, Mickey."

So these entities don't boast flesh. But somehow they can sometimes leave tracks and be photographed. Now how's that? If I knew, I'd be at home polishing my Nobel Prize speech.

I thought as much.
