"Fried Fridays: A Moment Frozen In Time"

Q. What did one half-ton block of ice say to another half-ton block of ice?

A. My, you have a Big Foot!

DATELINE: PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA

Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer made the discovery of a lifetime back in July of this year...at least that's when their initial YouTube video hit the webwaves. What are the odds....to find (and then encase in ice) proof that the legendary Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti was no longer legend, but fact. Real. Touchable.

Oh, but not on the remote slopes of the Pacific Northwest peaks, where the ol' hairy ape-man has been 'sighted' through the years in the U.S.; rather, the duo purportedly found it in the...north Georgia mountains.

Um, okay.

There were lots of interesting pictures to potentially add in here...even a fuzzy snapshot provided on the AP wire stories of a Bigfoot in the north GA mountains this past June. However, all pictures I tried to add here would not save and transfer. I'm sure that 'Enquiring' minds can easily find them on web searches, however.

And so this duo, for an undisclosed sum of money, delivered their 'find' to the "Searching for Bigfoot" business entity...and Bigfoot, Inc. CEO Tom Biscardi publicly released the information and photographs in advance of the big news conference announcing the testing results recently.

Steve Kulls is the executive director of Squatchdetective.com , and oversaw the thawing and subsequent testing of the body:

"As the team and I began examining this area near the feet, I observed the foot which looked unnatural, reached in and confirmed it was a rubber foot."

Further tests immediately revealed this Bigfoot was a Biggorillacosstume.

Somebody done pulled the Woolly Mammoth over somebody's eyes.

Krull's more expanded report can be read at the searchingforbigfoot website. Worth a read. I got so confused as to what was done when and who said what and what was arranged or not that it was requiring waaaay too much time for this blog...hence my Cliff Notes version.

Big story short, somebody cheated somebody in a Big way, trying to get their Foot in the financial door of a get-rich-quick scheme. And just like the mythical creature, Whitton and Dyer have been equally hard to find since the hoax was announced. Can't you just hear Ricky Ricardo telling Lucille Ball, "You got some explainin' to do, Lucy!!!"

Thought you'd go ape over this one. Like a banana, it was a-peeling (sorry, had to slip that one in there)...gotta split, now. Have a good weekend, everybody!
