AI Thread Summary
A Yakima man, known for his historical association with Bigfoot, recently donned a costume to debunk the famous Patterson film, which has been a focal point of Bigfoot lore for decades. This act aims to reinforce the idea that the film is a hoax, although it does not entirely dismiss the ongoing fascination with Bigfoot. The discussion highlights the challenges faced by debunkers, particularly in proving that the costume worn by the man is the same as that seen in the original film. There is skepticism regarding the authenticity of the footage, with some recalling details like the supposed female characteristics of the creature depicted. The conversation suggests that definitive proof, such as the discovery of a Bigfoot corpse, remains elusive, fueling ongoing debate about the creature's existence.

The Yakima man who made history and legend 37 years ago by walking in Bigfoot's flat feet donned the costume again this week to put the hoax firmly in the halls of hooey. [continued]

Although this doesn't end the story of Bigfoot it may well end the story of the Patterson film. My only hold out is the recent book deal made with survivors of this episode - a debunking of the story. So now the debunkers have the problem of proving this is the same suit seen in the film. I expect that it is but my expectations have been wrong before.

No comment until someone fetches a bigfoot corpse. I mean, really, you would think one would die of old age and someones dog would drag a bone out of the woods...
 
If I remember correctly, the initial film showed Bigfoot with rather well-endowed mammary glands. Did Bob explain this part, I didn't see any details in the photos.

My inclination has always to believe that footage was a hoax, but is this just another one?
 
Oops, sorry, read the rest of the story. It was supposed to be a female.

Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'

I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
