Few can my friend.... few can.

This is in one way a good thing! Now no genes in the gene pool will possess the stupidity to do this again! As my grandfather always said, "No great loss without some small gain!"

Cangooner to the white courtesy phone, please!

I can't go camping anymore without thinking of a new threat. Some of our "Down Under" friends told me about "drop bears". Now, besides real threats, mountain lion, rattle snakes, I gotta watch up!!?? I go camping to relax, not be looking back and forth AND up and down. Thank Buddah they got the Chupacabras under control around here!!

The classic Bigfoot Film was done up North of me. My dad said it was hogwash. The guy went town to town showing his film. He came to our town, and showed it at the Veterans' Hall. Dad bought tickets for him and my brother and I. We sat through the warm up talk by the guy, then he showed his film. Dad deemed it hogwash. But now, looking back on it, Dad bought three tickets from the dude, to show us it was, hogwash.

At least with those kinds of discussions, there is room for arguing either way.
I've seen flamewars over whether the Balrog of Moria had wings or not.
Not on any place I frequent. I've read about them on an LOTR wiki.

I doubt that sasquatches and nessie exist though.
That said, the seas are full of things we don't yet know.
Everything that stays below fishing depth goes unnoticed until it dies at the wrong depth and ends up on shore or in a fishing net.
Coelacanths and the monster squid are good examples.

Sadly the following line "if you get knocked down you gotta get back up" didn't apply here. It's amazing what some people think is a good idea when they've had too many drinks...
