Scott Norman’s brother Javin has called to say that anyone who wants to send email condolences may do so by directing them to him at javin.norman@gmail.com Folks sending emails should put “Scott Norman” in the subject box. If you wish to send a card, the snail mail address, again, is: Mr. and Mrs. Norman 7519 Langley Canyon Road, Prunedale, California 93907 USA. The Norman family confirmed today that what took Scott’s life was a blood clot that entered Scott’s heart and lungs. When I receive word on when the funeral is, I will pass this information along.

Courage Meets Bigfoot
Courage the Cowardly Dog is an award-winning American animated television series (1999-2002), created by John R. Dilworth, who directed each episode, about a dog named Courage and his owners Muriel Bagge, a kindly old Scottish woman, and Eustace Bagge, a grumpy old farmer, living together in a farmhouse in the middle of the fictional town of Nowhere, Kansas. The specific specimen of studied species of Sasquatch seen in this selection surely should be spoken of only in some sort of spurious speculation.
Mokele-Mbembe Deaths
As I mentioned in 2005, when several Mokele-mbembe researchers died in a temporal cluster, I’m not talking about a curse. I’m merely noticing that several African-linked researchers have passed away seemingly together. The sudden death of Scott Norman at 43 years of age merely goes to reinforce my memories of all of these losses. The Mokele-mbembe-involved individuals who have recently passed away, some who have died suddenly, are: Scott Norman, 43, who was a member of the CryptoSafari and the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club expedition to Africa in search of Mokele-Mbembe in 2001. Scott died suddenly in Fullerton, California, [...]

Bulletin: Scott Norman Has Died
I am totally in shock and send out my empathy, sympathy, and sorrow to his friendly family.
Sadie Hawkins Day Bigfoot
Today is one of the rare events in human time-space history, a catch-up day, February 29th. Happy Sadie Hawkins Day! According to English law, February 29th was ignored and had no legal status. Therefore, it was the one day when women could ask someone to marry them. This practice was first documented in 1288, when Scotland passed a law that allowed women to propose marriage to the man of their choice in that year. They also made it law that any man who declined a proposal in a leap year must pay a fine, such as a kiss to money [...]
One Week to 10,000 BC!

More about that in a minute. First, some new [...]
Hillary Yeti Expedition Member Dies
American ornithologist Melvin Alvah Traylor Jr., 92, has died. He was among the members of the 1960 World Book Encyclopedia Scientific Expedition to the Himalaya led by Sir Edmund Hillary. Melvin Traylor (December 16, 1915 – February 11, 2008) was the son of famed Chicago banker Melvin Alvah Traylor and Mrs. Dorothy Y. Traylor. Traylor was a Lieutenant with the US Marines and served on Guadalcanal during World War II in 1942 where he was awarded with the Silver Star medal. As a Marine Corp officer, Traylor was severely injured during the Battle of Tarawa in the Pacific theatre, where [...]
Felix the Cat & Yeti
Okay, this may be merely a Felix the Cat cartoon, but it also may be one of the worst illustrations of misrepresentations in comic history. This cartoon with Felix the Cat and the Abominable Snowman is from 1958. How many misstatements and mistakes do you see in it? (No, I’m not really upset. I’m just playing along with some kind of mock insult to our cryptozoological legacy.) Some of the errors I caught are: – Abominable Snowmen at the North Pole (the Arctic) – They actually are reported to live in the montane valleys of the Himalaya and cross the [...]
Disturbing Big Cat Videos
The large felid exhibition has reopened, but a cloud of “why” still floats over the death of a young man killed during a tiger attack at the San Francisco Zoo. Videos such as the following are disturbing, because they give the illusion that “wild animals” are friendly. How can we teach children to enjoy zoos but realize the animals there are dangerous and still untamed with videos like these circulating? Does the tiger attack in San Francisco make sense, at some level, in the context of a society that treats big cats as nothing more than giant pets? [Cryptomundo has [...]
