During the last few weeks and finally coming to a terrible implosion on Wednesday, October 19, 2006, I have lost all my emails, all my email addresses, and all archived material that I was stupidly keeping stored in e-messages. In total, yesterday, I lost over 60,000 saved emails (the “good ones” collected during the entire time I’ve owned this computer – since 1999). Lesson learned, of course. I have no one to blame but myself, but I could not make my computer email work or open or be “seen” on yesterday’s wacky Wednesday. I had to clean, clear, dump, delete, [...]
Keel Remains Hospitalized & Cards
John A. Keel’s treatment has taken a new turn, maybe getting one of those unplanned twists in life that he wrote about in his book, The Fickle Finger of Fate. Instead of being discharged today, Wednesday, October 18, Keel is going to remain in the hospital. He now will be in rehab for a few days before he returns home. Post-op, John Keel seems to be doing fairly well, but his recovery from his heart attack is not moving along as quickly as at first thought. If anyone wishes to send him a get-well card, he requests that people please [...]
That Mystery Fish Postcard
The Mystery Fish postcard, first noted here on November 29, 2005, has never been identified, as to exact location or species. New people sometimes have new ideas. (Click on image to see full size version, enhanced by shockbeton) Due to research (see below) on the type of postcard it is, there was a determination, thanks to Cryptomundo readers, that this specific item would have been produced between 1904-18. The location seems to be in the Pacific; perhaps it was taken in the Philippines. Or maybe even Florida? Someone said this might be during WWI, in the south of France, because [...]
Boston Rob Balks On Bigfoot
I’m on the road again, but don’t forget, as Craig mentions, to watch “Sci Fi Investigates: Bigfoot” tonight, October 18. The New York Daily News has an overview here. There’s one fragment they have as a sentence in their review that says it all: Smirking, most of the time, when he’s not laughing out loud at the absurd earnestness of his less skeptical expedition mates. I may agree with “Boston Rob” on his choice of a baseball team, but I don’t have to like the under-theme of ridicule in his show, as expressed most often non-verbally by Mr. Marino.
John A. Keel Prognosis Is Good
John A. Keel in 2002, shown here during the release of The Mothman Prophecies motion picture. The news on 76-year-old John A. Keel’s recovery from his heart attack is good. Just in from Doug Skinner… I just spoke with Keel. He had the operation yesterday, but is doing fine, and is due to be released tomorrow. I’ll be meeting him at the hospital, and helping him get back home and stock up on groceries. The prognosis is good! Many thanks to confirmations and news via John Frick, Mark Pilkington, and George Hansen. To answer those that have asked: John A. [...]
Fossil Dwarf Buffalo Discovered
Public release date: 17-Oct-2006 New dwarf buffalo discovered by chance in the Philippines First new fossil mammal from the Philippines in 50 years CHICAGO–Almost 50 years ago, Michael Armas, a mining engineer from the central Philippines, discovered some fossils in a tunnel he was excavating while exploring for phosphate. Forty years later, Dr. Hamilcar Intengan, a friend of his who now lives in Chicago, recognized the importance of the bones and donated them to The Field Museum. If not for the attention and foresight of these two individuals, science might never have documented what has turned out to be an [...]
Keel Suffers Heart Attack
I’ve learned that John A. Keel suffered a heart attack late last week, and is undergoing surgery in New York City, Monday, October 16, 2006. John A. Keel in 2002, shown here during the release of The Mothman Prophecies motion picture. Word is that he is not in great shape, but hopefully he has come through post-op recovery fine. I will update this information, as soon as I can. Needless to say, Keel is well-known for his many books and articles on a variety of topics, most especially in recent years, of course, Mothman. More later… Please click here to [...]
Bigfoot Bounty: A Year Later
Bigfoot Bounty A year after the one million dollar short-lived bounty for a Sasquatch photo, here’s a look back. Hasbro produced this set in 1973, demonstrating a lengthy awareness by the company into Yeti hunts. During mid-October 2005, a proposed $1 million reward for a photograph of evidence leading to the live capture of Bigfoot, the Abominable Snowman (Yeti) or the Loch Ness Monster was discussed by the media, and caused quite a stir. Initially, the Bigfoot Bounty was to be used to announce Creature Appreciation Week later in the month, by the producers of the Duel Masters Trading Card [...]
California Cryptozoic
What: “CALIFORNIA CRYPTOZOIC” When: October 28 – November 25, 2006 Opening Saturday October 28, 9pm – Partytime Who: Artist Megan Whitmarsh (visit her site for her little Yeti film) Where: October, 28 2006 at the New Image Art Gallery, 7908 Santa Monica Blvd., West Hollywood, CA 90046 How Much: Free “Yeti does Disco” with bling bling or goes Star Wars, well, is sort of weird, I’d say. Or very normal, nowadays. After all, if Wikipedia has an entry on “bling bling” originating from Jamacian patois and noting the contradictory reality that the “bling bling diamonds” are probably conflict diamonds, obtained [...]
Mystery Beast Banner News
Wonderful news about the Maine Mystery Beast Banner from Boing Boing. David Pescovitz writes: Maine Mystery Beast banner to be donated to Loren Coleman’s museum On Friday, I posted about artist Paul Szauter’s beautiful Maine Mystery Beast sideshow banner that was to be auctioned off this afternoon. I suggested that the winner might donate it to cryptozoologist Loren Coleman’s International Cryptozoology Museum. Whaddayaknow! Journalist and blogger Rogier van Bakel won the banner and says he’ll do just that. What a generous, wonderful act-of-cryptozoological-kindness. See the rest of his entry here. Mucho thanks to David and Rogier!
