Loki Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 That's very cool if they can actually get some footage of it. A new, as yet unidentified mammal of that size would be a major discovery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted October 19, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted October 19, 2013 (edited) My Ghostwatch piece got headhunted. http://www.sabotagetimes.com/tv/rememberin...-tv-at-its-best  The erroneous apostrophe in the title isn't my doing though.  Yeti's another thing that I'd totally buy, even if its very name is synonymous with 'crazy shit wackos believe'. Sorry for the Daily Mail link, but the best Yeti story is how Jimmy Stewart once smuggled a Yeti finger through customs.  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/art...es-Stewart.html Edited October 19, 2013 by Astro Hollywood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted October 20, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Anyone else watch C4's Yeti program just then? It was all going alright, up until the point they did the "time to pick our scientific explanation" bit, which they then fit into all of their pre-picked bits of evidence, but they really had to use a massive shoehorn. When the BBC did their big Loch Ness thing ten years ago, they spent 50 minutes talking about how Nessie was definitely a dinosaur, and the last ten that dinosaurs couldn't still exist, so there was no Nessie. For this C4 thing, they randomly pulled the idea that the Yeti's a brown bear, and quickly run through why everything points to that, at one point, by replicating the famous Yeti footprint picture. Except, no matter how much they said their footprint was identical, it was nothing like it. Â Â The famous Yeti picture is like #2 or 3 there, like a monkey's foot, but by having a bear step onto his own footprint twice, it was clearly just a bear's footprint, with no visual similarities. When they overlaid it, talking about how it was identical, it honestly seemed like a joke. Then the DNA samples they'd taken turned out to be from a species of polar bear that's been extinct for 40,000 years, which is super cool and puzzling, but that didn't fit with what they wanted either, so they pull out a random theory of crossbreeding to take us back to the brown bear idea they were set on. Was a prehistoric polar bear too weird to hang their hats on? It was all a nutty version of this. Â Â Yeti DNA sampling is never going to work when you're taking it from museum exhibits, or bits of carcass rumoured to be stolen from Tibetan monasteries, because they're all hoaxes stitched together from other animals with awful taxidermy. "DNA of a goat! Yeti doesn't exist!" One of the things they took a sample from had a clay jaw and appeared to be made from the fur from a paedophile's parka. Â They literally ignored the DNA evidence because they couldn't explain it. Brilliant. Fort's Damned Data in action.

Loki Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 What I got from it was that the Yeti is probably a bear that's descended from a polar bear. Seemed fairly cut and dried to me. But I see what you're saying, they seem to have shot a lot of stuff to back up a finding that it was a brown bear, only to have to re-edit later when it turned out not be. Â The geneticist bit was interesting, and almost completely separate from the usual presenter-on-a-journey flying round the world bullshit. I suspect the next two will follow the same format, padding out the genetics with guff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted October 22, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted October 22, 2013 Before I go into detail on what happened to me, what are the general opinions on time slipping? What happened to you David? Â Â Â Last night I remembered a strange occurrence that happened to a friend of mine. Around 2001/02 some mates lived together. One night we were in Steve's room watching a dvd. Steve was lying on his bed & another mate Winston & I were sitting on a sofa he had in there. Win looked at Steve & asked him what was on his head? Seemingly out of nowhere 3 bold vertical lines, about 1cm wide had appeared on his forehead. They were purple-ish in colour, like bruises & about 2cm apart from each other, they lasted for about 2 days then went. He said they didn't hurt & have never come back (to the best of my knowledge). I've not seen him in a while but messaged him on facebook this morning to see if he's still got the pics. Â We searched online & could find a similar case in Holland/Denmark (can't remember the exact details) but the findings were far from conclusive. I'm sure there's a medical explanation but at the time it was very odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
