Everyone knows that Bigfoot is really a Kushtaka, people can’t find him because of the shapeshifting. ---

> [@aruvqan](#): > > that is so freaking cute, narwhal horns and horse heads as a taxidermy chimera. If I had the money I would _so_ do this for over our mantle … except I live in the US and the shitstorm from idiots whinging about the cute little dead horsie …:rolleyes: > > Also back in the 70s or 80s there was a book about cryptozology that claimed that all the cryptids on earth were actually aliens from an alternate dimension or another planet and arrived here by being brought on a ship or by dimension traveling. For the life of me I can not remember who wrote it, I got it out of the hospital library in 84 when I got stuck in there for an acute kidney infection. Although if someone mentioned it I would probably recognize it. I am thinking Ivan Sanderson for some reason but none of the titles on his wiki ring a bell. Perhaps Dr. Ruehl? He used to have a program on the SciFi channel, before it became like every other cable channel.

> [@njtt](#): > > Sure there is, science for one. For example, faced with evidence that mass-energy is not conserved in some subatomic reactions, Pauli came up with the idea of the neutrino, a particle for which there was no other evidence, and which, at the time, was such as to be totally undetectable. Science actually does stuff like this all the time. … Thank you for the stand against the “That’s Just Crazy” argument, and another example that science is not an immutable truth. Now, can you explain why they call it the “God Particle”? That really drives me nuts. ---

I just don’t buy the “there’s not enough food” objection. IIRC the argument is more that there isn’t enough food to sustain a viable population of bigfeet (bigfoots?) and still have them remain incognito. ---
