Yeti Bears Up Under Scrutiny
Rambo Tribble writes "Bryan Sykes of Oxford University has discovered that hairs, ostensibly from the Yeti creature of the Himalayas, were '... genetically identical to polar bear.' What the professor is suggesting is that a rare hybrid of brown and polar bear may be the actual, elusive creature of legend."
If it's "genetically identical" to a polar bear, well... doesn't that mean it's a polar bear?
You could argue that a religion is just a legend that won't die. Or that gets resurrected a few days after it dies.
