Proto-Nazi Hoax: The “Ape” in Green Hell
If this was such an extraordinary image, why did the alleged photographer not show the back end of the primate and why did he keep it stored away for almost ten years? The photograph (above) of an alleged “Ameranthropoid ape” supposedly was taken in South America by François de Loys. It has a checkered history, and was used for proto-Nazi racist promotion in the late 1920s and early 1930s, despite the fact it is most certainly a spider monkey (below). Basically, two schools exist about this photo. 1) There are those that believe the François de Loys story and thus [...]
The Tracks of the Sasquatch
The Real Bigfoot and Genuine Bigfoot Tracks Part 8: The Tracks of the Sasquatch by Mark A. Hall The Tracks of the Sasquatch (also known as Bigfoot) The long history of the Sasquatch and Bigfoot indicates that mysterious giant footprints have always been rare in the mountains of the West. The long trails of footprints post-1958 have been planted by people. A few giant impressions have turned up that can be linked to the sightings of hairy giants. The creatures are smart enough that they seldom leave good impressions of their feet for people to find. They did not suddenly [...]
Sunday Comics: Crypto-Man Meets Mystery Man
It is a strange world when I see things like “My Comic Life” end up on Wikipedia and Boing Boing, frozen in cyberspace. Therefore, here is my update with hints of the upcoming adventures of Crypto-Man and a character based on me. Since it is Sunday in Singapore, the time is right for another irregular edition of my Crypto Sunday Comics, the early overnight edition. Back in November, writer/director Scott Marlowe announced that “Coleman Joins Cast” of the Peter Loh-drawn series “Crypto-Man” is loosely based on Marlowe. I am coming on board as “Mystery Man.” We thought that this casting [...]

Colossal Squid May Be Microwaved
Remember the news of the very large, appropriately named Colossal Squid just captured? Here’s an update, via news services, which are reporting, in part: Scientists at New Zealand’s national museum, Te Papa Tongarewa, have taken possession of the beast that took fishermen two hours to land after it was netted by chance in Antarctic waters last month and was frozen soon afterward to preserve it. Expert Steve O’Shea said the squid had weighed in at 1,089 pounds and measured 33 feet long — heavier but shorter than initial estimates of 990 lbs and 39 feet. It appears to be by [...]
Laughing At Ghosts In Maine Woods
John Richardson followed up his earlier article on the eastern panther survey with a short column on March 24, 2007, entitled “Seeing ‘ghosts’ in the Maine woods.” Today’s commentary has the classic framework of beginning and ending paragraphs, which in typical journalistic style, are used to bring balance into the tone of the article: For an animal that’s supposed to be extinct in the eastern United States, mountain lions have sure been getting around the Maine woods….So if you think you’ve seen a mountain lion, you aren’t crazy. You may not even be wrong. And you certainly are not alone.John [...]
