What's Your Favorite Monster?

Pickens writes "Mankind has always had a fascination with monsters, and mythologies from around the world include stories of strange and terrifying creatures. Examples include the half-bull, half-human Minotaur of Greek myths, the living clay Golem of Jewish traditions, British elves and Chinese dragons. Live Science has an interesting photo essay on their ten favorite monsters that may have a basis in real life. Their rogue's gallery includes the Ogopogo, a mysterious monster in Canada's Lake Okanagan; the Chupacabra, that Latin Americans believe is the unholy result of secret US government experiments in the jungles of Puerto Rico; and the perennial favorite Bigfoot."

Like it or not, I believe "humans" are the worst of all monsters. Unlimited potential for evil, and the will to do so at any time.

Talk about pessimism! Listen, any time you want to off yourself and remove a bit of evil from the world, feel free! With an attitude like that, I doubt anyone will miss you.

Way to go, jerkface. Way to totally hijack the subject at hand in order to spew your misanthropic sludge. Here's a hint: look up "projection" and see how it's relevant to this case.
