Bigfoot Exposed!
"First of all, I consulted what's called an anthropometric source book, which contains a ridiculous number of measurements on populations of human beings. Even if this thing on the film was as large as Krantz and others were claiming, it was not outside the range of human variation. But as it turns out, you can't measure reliably off of that [Patterson] film--there are too many unknown variables."
Not a bad article about Bigfoot. I, for one, am not ready to write Sasquatch off; I think there are the makings of a genuine zoological debate lurking amidst the claims, counter-claims and drearily predictable urge to "debunk" at all costs.
