International Bigfoot Symposium
DaytonCIM writes "Yup, that's right the creature that took on Steve Austin (no, not the drunk and bloated pro wrastler, but the REAL Six Million Dollar Man) has legions who gather to debate and discuss his furriness. The International Bigfoot Symposium is going on right now.
SFGate also has a nice article on the grand meeting."
On The Sixe Million Dollar Man, wasn't Bigfoot played by a drunk and bloated wrastler?
Now you've made it way too confusing...

If only the /. editors had posted this before the weekend, I could've presented my research on big feet at the conference. :(

Having recently purchased the Season 1 dvd set of "The Simpsons," I can't help but mention that some good material for the symposium to focus on would be Simpsons, season one, episode 7 (7G09)...
It's the episode where the simpsons get stuck in the woods and towards the end, Homer is mistaken for Bigfoot. Here's the SNPP link.

...if there really is such a thing as Bigfoot? I'd rather have the only real-world furries be a mink, or a skunk, or a vixen. :)
Honey, I shrunk the Cygwin
I would check records for:

You know what they say about primates with big feet...
Bigfoot refers to the legendary beast, not the destructive big foot in Monty Python. Do not let the choice of category icon confuse you.

The foot icon for this article needs to be bigger, and hairy-er..

Killer Robots Storm Home of Bill Gates' Childhood Bully
SEATTLE, WA -- Walter Conrad, a 46-year old sporting-goods retail manager, was assaulted in his home by an army of killer Microsoft robots yesterday.
Conrad, who had tormented and teased Microsoft CEO Bill Gates when the two were in junior high school together, suffered minor injuries in the attack. He sustained an estimated $120,000 in property damage.
According to a Seattle Police Department report, at approximately 8:20 p.m., six robots wielding large iron fists and saw-blade hands entered Conrad's home and relentlessly pursued him. He only managed to escape death, police said, because of the robots "lumbering pace". The robots where later traced to a secret, subterranean compound in nearby Redmond.
"He will not escape my armies next time," Gates said in a multimedia announcement, in which his image was broadcast on thousand of 40-foot-high closed-circuit screens across the U.S. "He will not escape."

A friend of mine wears size 14. Is that big enough? I think we can all say for certain that people with big feet do exist, so what's all the debate about?
The global economy is a great thing until you feel it locally.
That first one, the HIV->AIDS deniers, is scary in a funny way. I've always figured the best way to get rid of the people who offer awards for "proof" that HIV exists is to offer them $50 to sleep with someone who tests HIV positive.
It would be interesting to concoct a related reward for "proof" that Bigfoot exists; although I'm not so sure about the counter-offer, money for sleeping with a sasquatch.
