| BURLINGAME, CA -- (Market Wire - Jun 29, 2005) -- "The elusive creature known as Bigfoot may not be elusive for very much longer," according to C. Thomas Biscardi, a Bigfoot explorer and founder of the Great American Bigfoot Research Organization. In the next few days, Biscardi will begin an investigation into a cavernous area near Happy Camp, California, in which he expects to find evidence of Bigfoot inhabitation and hopefully be able to contain and capture a live creature. This particular location has been chosen based on two very recent sightings from very credible witnesses. When Biscardi was contacted to follow up on these sightings, his investigation led to finding footprints indicative of a large primate. An account of this investigation is available in an article by Linda Martin datelined June 27, 2005 in the Happy Camp News at www.happycampnews.com. Since the public is skeptical of any Bigfoot sightings, Biscardi has invited news organizations and a team of documentary filmmakers from Sweden to join him on this investigation. Joining him will be Megan Landers, a reporter from The Medford News, Medford, Oregon, and filmmakers from Sweden, led by producer, David Sayer. The filmmakers are currently doing a movie about Bigfoot. In the event that Biscardi and his team will be able to contain and capture a creature, further scientific study is slated to be coordinated under the supervision of Dr. George W. Gill, Ph.D., a professor of Anthropology at the University of Wyoming in Laramie, Wyoming. "This is a high stakes, high risk, scientific and commercial expedition," according to Biscardi. A recent two-and-a-half minute videotape of a Bigfoot sighting in Manitoba, Canada, was recently sold for an undisclosed sum to the television program "A Current Affair." The undisclosed sum, according to Biscardi's sources, "is purported to be in the high six figures." The findings and materials forthcoming from this investigation will also be offered for commercial sale and distribution. Organizations interested in acquiring the rights for projects such as publishing, television, film, merchandising, lectures and exhibits based on Biscardi's expeditions can submit their inquiries to Robert Barrows, President of R.M. Barrows, Inc. Advertising and Public Relations at 205 Park Rd., #208, Burlingame, California, 94010, Tel: 650-344-1951. Barrows will be reviewing initial requests and submissions and will be coordinating publicity for the expedition. Information about previous Bigfoot sightings by Biscardi is available on the web site of the Great American Bigfoot Research Organization at www.greatamericanbigfoot.com. |

| #11 Muck, if I see a picture of an alleged chupacabra that doesn't turn out to be a coyote with mange I will be suprised. Earlier in the century most of the predators in places like Texas were pretty much killed off, and a disproportionate share of the predator "niche" has subsequently been taken up by coyotes and/or coyote/domestic dog halfbreeds... such that their fraction of the "predator" niche is very large. And therefore their population density is large, and they're more vulnerable to diseases like mange, which are endemic in the population. This causes not just hair loss, but developmental problems and a loss of health, increaced opportunistic secondary infections, etc., thanks to the mange... and when one of these poor animals winds up crawling under someone's house and dying, the picture gets sold to Coast to Coast AM, and Whitley Streiber comes down to have genetic testing done, but you never hear the results back, probably because they've decided that a result of "run of the mill coydog who got sick" is too boring for their audience. I suspect a similar factor may be at work in Bigfoot sightings themselves, in that some of them may be caused by out-of-place sightings of known-to-science species instead. Say, gorillas, chimpanzees, or orangutans instead. |

| #5 It looks like he'll have so many reporters and whatnot along for the ride to create a large enough racket to scare any bigfeet away. |

| #4 Come on! Everyone knows by now that Saddam Hussein is a myth, conjured up to justify Bush's war of aggression against the peaceful terrorists in the middle east! That guy y'all see on TV waiting for the trial? He's an actor from New Jersey; real good at playing ethnic types... |
