Man Admits to Bigfoot Hoax
JCMay writes "You know that film we've all seen on TV where a large, hairy creature is walking through the woods, looks back over his right shoulder at the camera, and continues walking on? WorldNetDaily is reporting that a man has admitted to a 1967 bigfoot hoax where he was filmed walking through the woods wearing a gorilla suit."
Absolutely. Another example, probably closer in circumstances to the Bigfoot hoax, is the Loch Ness Monster. Again, the person who took the photograph admitted it and showed how it was made, but belief in the monster is still high enough to attract thousands of people per year to the lake with cameras, video cameras, SCUBA gear, boats and God knows what else.
The Washington Post reported this, not Worldnet Daily, which just pilfered the news.
In December 2002, Ray L. Wallace made a death bed confession that BigFoot was a hoax. CNN had all of the details. I remember seeing accounts that showed photos of the wooden feet, etc.

The people who invented the crop circle came forward and explained how it was done.
Not only did they come forward, they presented a video of themselves making the crop circles.
One ufologist said before seeing the film that it was impossible for humans to create this particular crop circle because of the "woven" stalks, lack of footprints, etc. Then after being shown the film, she said "well that may explain this one, but it can't possibly explain all of the other unexplainable circles!"
Don't blame me, I didn't vote for either of them!
was exposed as a hoax long ago, but it didn't affect the true believers.
evidence that can't be proven is a religion. You've either got faith or you've got facts.
and there is a ton of faith in the world.

There is an easy solution - login, go to Preferences -> Homepage, and under "Exclude Stories from the Homepage", put a little tick next to Timothy. You'll never see anything from him again!
BTW judging from recent form I'd have to agree with you
Look like gorillas in a zoo to me.
I don't have time to comment my code, the program is late already.
