And He’s Black, Too?

Today we awoke to what many feel is a safer world — a world which will soon be led by the better of two men, Barack Obama.

A time for celebration, indeed, a time to look at what might have been and give thanks in whichever way you see fit. We none of us, I’m sure, believe that the road ahead — for Obama, or ourselves — will be entirely smooth. There will be difficulties, he will make mistakes (some of them possibly quite grave), but I feel quite certain that Obama’s actions will be measured more carefully than those we have seen from Bush over the past eight years.

I’ve no doubt that I will be on some occasions one of his harshest critics, but nonetheless I today applaud the choice made by the vast majority of my American friends. He’s the best man for the job.

Thank you!

I Love You More Than…

A promo clip from the upcoming Little Britain USA series…

Sarah Palin’s “Task from God”.

Have you ever seen a worm wriggling on a hook? In this particular case, it’s oddly satisfying.

And for crying out loud, Sarah, stop saying “Charlie” so much.  It smacks of desperation in so many ways!

BBC NEWS | World | Americas | Bigfoot is gorilla suit hoax

The recent ”discovery” of Bigfoot in the US state of Georgia has turned out to be a hoax.

Two researchers who bought the “carcass” for an undisclosed sum found it was a rubber gorilla suit encased in a block of ice.

No surprise there, then!

Bigfoot Experts React Suspiciously.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Bigfoot experts yesterday reacted with suspicion to the claims made by Matt Whitton and Rick Dyer that they have found the body of Bigfoot. Apparently, the alleged DNA results from the corpse’s body tissue revealed in one test human DNA, another was inconclusive and the third came back as the DNA of a possum!

It’s not a Bigfoot — it’s a chimera!

I especially found this amusing, however.

In the accompanying video of the press conference, Mr Whitton says:

“[…] you have to come to terms with it and realise you’ve got something special.”

So what do they do? Dump it in the freezer. Makes a kind of sense, I suppose but… no. Just no.

Bigfoot or Huge Hoax?

My money is on the latter.
