Here is one of those “I’ll believe it when I see it” things. Basically two guys claim to have found a carcas of a “bigfoot” in Georgia and plan to have a press conference to release DNA evidence this Friday. Seriously guys, why not do it today?

I heard about this on the news today on Fox News I believe but in searching their website and CNN’s and there is nothing. I found this on the Inquirer’s website. So what does that tell you? It tells me that the press is paying attention and possibly just mis-reporting other rumors or it could be that the Associated Press guys are just being cautious because they don’t have any confirmed informaiton. News Release from their site:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 12, 2008 BIGFOOT BODY FOUND DNA evidence and photo evidence to be presented at a PRESS CONFERENCE to be held on Date: Friday, August 15, 2008 Time: From 12Noon-1:00pm Place: Cabana Hotel-Palo Alto (A Crown Plaza Resort) 4290 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, California 94306 Searching for Bigfoot, Inc. Menlo Park, California Tom Biscardi, CEO BIGFOOT BODY FOUND - EVIDENCE AND DNA DETAILS TO BE PRESENTED AT A PRESS CONFERENCE ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 15th FROM 12 N00N TO 1:00PM AT THE CABANA HOTEL-PALO ALTO IN PALO ALTO, CALIFORNIA A body that may very well be the body of the creature commonly known as “Bigfoot” has been found in the woods in northern Georgia. DNA evidence and photo evidence of the creature will be presented in a press conference on Friday, August 15th from 12 Noon to 1:00pm at the Cabana Hotel-Palo Alto at 4290 El Camino Real in Palo Alto, California, 94306. The press conference will not be open to the public. It will only be open to credentialed members of the press. Here are some of the vital statistics on the “Bigfoot” body: *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. *DNA tests are currently being done and the current DNA and photo evidence will be presented at the press conference on Friday, August 15th.

Anyway if this is true it’s kinda cool, but seriously what are we going to do, track them down, hunt them? Put them in a zoo?

Update, here is the website of the guys who claim to have found bigfoot. Their website looks like a 5 year old put it together though.. what do you expect from the state that brought us Deliverance. Here is a more local news station reporting it CBS affiliate.

Update 9:28CDT: BAMN. Fox News has now posted the article. So either it is getting more legit or its just an internet rumor feeding frenzy.

Update: I’ve posted a running post for today with more information Go here.

In case you missed it, Chillville was on 101x this morning in Austin.  I always try to catch just a little bit of it when I’m in town.  Today I found out about Gnarles Barkley’s new Album “The Odd Couple“.  This was Full Monty’s Catch of the day.   I have to agree after listening to the album that many more of the songs on this track are - bareable.   It seemed like the last album that came out only had one or two good songs - especially Crazy - very radio friendly and even today if you played it, it would still get stuck in your head. 

Today also was the very wet Cap 10K.  And our very own figment did it in 1hr and 2minutes and liz did it in 56minutes.  Congrats! 

I just bought my tickets to see Salvage Vangaurd’s Intergalatic Nemesis for the 3rd time.  This time it will be at the Paramount for one night only on May 9th.  You can still pick up tickets but all the good stuff has been sold out -rather all the close up stuff has been sold out - I got in the A seating. 

“So, yeah, we had a good thing going for a long time there. But Movable Type, baby, we felt that love start to die inside and we couldn’t go on just for the posts.

 Oh, don’t cry baby. It’s us, it’s not you. You’re beautiful, yes you are!

So yeah, we’re moving into this cramped little studio apartment until we get our new place. It’s not like it was with you, but it’s okay. We’ll be okay.”

So yeah, you’re looking at our temp placeholding until we get the new site full launched.It’s not as nice as the old site, but it’ll do until we get everything up and running.

Oh, and I may have some news about The Job soon, so stay tuned.

Out.

I’ve grabbed the K2 theme and threw up an older custom drawn header I had made some 2 years ago but never posted.  If you’ve followed any of the wetwired news posts about the site itself you’ll remember that several times I have begun to re-design the site and have not moved forward with it.  This time I have a new theme that I’ve got an artist working on and once its done I’ll be working hard on creating the wetwired theme for the site and then uploading it.

So needless to say here is the site in all its temporary template glory, but fully converted to wordpress including all the old posts and comments no less.  The forums will not be going back up, feel free to comment and notice that the comments actually work again!

A MAN who was accused of having sex with a sheep has walked free because the animal was unable to testify.

The man, from Haaksbergen, near Utrecht in the Netherlands, was reported to police after a farmer caught him having sex with a sheep.

But the case was thrown out of court as the sheep couldn’t take to the stand to testify that it didn’t want to have sex and had suffered emotional stress.

Under Dutch law, bestiality is not a crime unless it can be proved the animal didn’t want to have sex.

“Short of putting the sheep in the dock, at the moment these perverts cannot be prosecuted,” animal rights campaigner Jos van Huisen said.

Original Alamo is moving to 6th street. They are asking if you have any memories that you shoot them over - specifically if you have a blog entry. I went ahead and shot over Fnliii’s Harold and Kumar incident. The reply from Jon Hurwitz made it all better I’d say.

Saturday Salvage Vangaurd will be doing 2 shows for the Intergalatic Nemesis its free. Thats right, new material, and free. I’m guessing it will be just a bit crowded, but we’re going to try to go.

Apple has a new iphone tour that is 20 minutes. Part marketing, part tutorial on how to use. In reality, just another brilliant marketing ploy that you have to admire about Apple.

Also I have done some “summer cleaning” on the links/blogroll. A lot of the blogs on there have not been updated in 6 months or are dead links. Its amazing how many blogs come and go, yet wetwired is 7 years strong.

That’s all I got for now, just figured it was time to post something again as we’ve been short on posts for a long time. In actuality I’m thinking about updating to the new version of Movable Type that is in beta.
