10-to-1 says this is a hoax...

Unless they show the body that they claim to have, I'll be inclined to agree. On the other hand, John Leguizamo put it best: "Nothing's impossible. Improbable, unlikely, but never impossible."

Just saw this:

It was (mostly) an opossum.

*shrug* Not surprising really. I think its possible that something like a sasquatch may exist somewhere, but it's too bad there's never been anything conclusive to give a definative yea or nay to it.

Hey George...you're often posting such links to joke or fake stories, and hoaxes, so could I ask you to start containing them all in this thread please?

That would be great, thanks!

Good thing his Jersey Number wasn't "Uno" (Number One) or "Dos" (Number Two).

Austin Powers' fans know of the unfortunate associations with those numbers!

("Duh!") Quote of the Day -- "If you put Harry Potter on the stage with people directly in front of him, you're likely to get a lot of screaming young girls, particularly when he takes his kit off. It was a very sensible decision for us to raise the audience up. There's more of a barrier."

No more commentary needed...

This joke just writes itself!

I edited all three post into one; no need to double post a few minutes after your original one.

The Harry Potter/Radcliffe one FTW!

There Be Spammers Comin' Onto the Website Lately!

*************

Just saw an advertisement for a Chinese Watch to tie in with the launch of some spacecraft.

Obviously, the webguys caught it in the New Section 'cuz when I tried to reply Python-style to it, WHOOSH! into the wastebasket it went!

There are a bunch of guys that like Spiced Ham!

This Spam was obviously designed to go with egg rolls and fried rice...

Yah, George... I couldn't even be bothered to post a reply. Into the trash it went!

Batmask for UK release of The Dark Knight on DVD...

As if Optimus Prime masks for the Transformers DVDs weren't bad enough!

And no, I still haven't seen the live-action Transformers movie and nor do intend to.

The last Transformers movie I was interested in was the '86 and that was enough for me at the time!
