If you pick unknown animal, please support your choice with your opinions/ideas

I went with Bear - cause I didnt see winnie the pooh as an option.

Winnie the Pooh falls into the Bear category, so you done good.
Bears like honey
WTP likes honey
Therefore WTP is a bear.

See the logic?

Now I'm mixed up....

I was gonna go with:

Human Dressed up like one of the above

Because I'm leaning towards Christopher Robin getting down with the animals.......

But then you had to mention honey....and I remembered a group of researchers using honey as an attractant for the big guy....and if memory serves me right they named Christopher.....I mean Jacob......

Now What?

Obviously I'm voting bear. If it were offered as a choice, I'd vote that the other BFRO pics clearly show a bear, and that this is for publicity.

If we had Johnny Cochran working this case, he'd say:

"If the bones fit, you must acquit!"

It shows how much a bear can look like something else.

I voted "bear," not because of any overlapping of any skeletal images atop the figure, but because of a simple glance at its foot, which is short and stubby (relatively speaking) and without the tell-tale shape of the prints attributed to sasquatch.

I do have a question about the poll, though. "Bigfoot" is listed as one of the choices, so why is "unknown animal" also up there? What else "unknown" could it be?

Someone was claiming chimp, I put it on there so everyone would be happy, in order to keep the poll unbiased, I wasn't insuating that that is a possibility, obviously it is a possibility though since two people voted for it.

Oh, okay. I guess that when I read "unknown animal," I think in terms of "unknown-to-science" animal.

I can't believe someone actually voted for a person in a suit. (No offense to that person.) And I can't even imagine what the individual who voted "other" had in mind.

I voted bear. What makes me happy is no one here (yet) has voted sasquatch. I knew we were a smart bunch! lol

t.

Actually, I was surprised but happy to see that BF sits at ZERO..........

Man I wish I could vote again -

You're a rabble-rouser . . .



I voted bear, because that is what it is.

Me too, along with 90% of the forum so far...

"Unknown animal" would be fair enough I guess, due to the ambigous nature of the picture (at least at first glance).

I'm just happy to see that the BFF has the ability to admit when an allegation of 'Bigfoot' is clearly not warranted.

Pattycakes all around I say!!

An understated but oh so valid point.


Yes she is and...ditto to the bear. Just because the bear isn't posing properly doesn't mean it's 'something else'. Where do they propose the resemblance is to Bigfoot anyway? The black hair? It doesn't appear to be of any substantial size. Nor necessarily have arms and legs like a biped should. And doesn't the bear cubs pic 30 minutes earlier lend A LOT of credibility to a 'mama bear eventually checking out Junior's find' scenario? The better question in it all is does the BFRO have any clue as to how such 'shady offerings' of obviously dubious evidence HURT the 'cause' far more than give an understanding of it? These 'photos' have become national news and yet they're not capable of being nor are they EVER going to be accepted as (or determined to be) any kind of 'Bigfoot evidence'. Simply amazing.

And their site is down mysteriously......I'm starting to think they are holed up over there saying:

"Whada we do Whada we do"

No Im not.. Ok, maybe a little.. But - you gotta admit, you laughed..

It's obviously a juvenile Sasquatch acting like a bear to evade detection...

my thoughts exactly.

According to the JREF 'definition' they probably are on this site. But you didn't mean that.....

I voted bear, but just wanted to say the KDKA TV2 6pm Evening News in Pittsburgh is doing a news report in a few minutes...... I will report back with anything significant!....... Stay Tuned.....................................

I voted bear because of the small foot as well. But I have never seen a bear with such long skinny legs..lol

Sting

...bear

Da bears...uh...bear

Bear

Apparently Geraldo brought this up on his show.

My sister in law called my wife and said, "I just saw Geraldo and he said they found Bigfoot!"

Geeeez...

A chimp?.......unreal, where do people come up with this stuff



.

"unknown animal"

Okay........ explain it to me again what the difference is between unknown animal and other?

poor ass bear

Indeed, I wonder ...

For those night-owls, in case you missed Countdown with Keith Olbermann earlier, his number-1 story was about these photos, with Bob Kiviat, producer of that abominable special World's Greatest Hoaxes: Secrets Finally Revealed. It will re-run in about 20 minutes on MSNBC. Check your local listings for channel.

I set the dvr encase I don't make it

I've just realized these photos are in fact the 'Bigfoot pulled out of their ass' that I personally have been proposing (for awhile now) the BFRO is gonna have to do to continue their Bigfoot Roundup™ bidness. I'm not sure of this Jacobs person's affiliations, but he does have a BFRO e-mail address. The notion their many <gulp> 'roundups' have proved nothing nor provided any viable evidence...of anything anywhere...was about to bite 'em on the ass and they knew it. And then poof..."Hey Chester, this looks like a small Bigfoot doesn't it?" "Wow Millard, yep it sure does. You better call The Moneymaker™ and I mean stat."

And with hardly a penny out of pocket, their upcoming 2008 'season' is now secure.

Interesting comparison of poll results with a comparable one being done at the BFRO's discussion board.

"Man in Suite"????

That's just friggin' wonderful.

You know, I think the figure's identity would be blatantly obvious if the picture were of someone in a hotel room.

SPELLLLLLLLLLLL CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Baby let me be,
Your lovin teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck,
And lead me anywhere
Oh let me be
Your teddy bear.

Naturally they had some humor thrown in at the begining....but it seemed like a fair report over all......

Well nothing really significant, although during the report the news anchor stated they contacted "experts" and showed them the photos for their expert opinion. They then break to a field reporter at the Pittsburgh Zoo who is showing the photos to the expert................... a bear keeper who claims the legs are too long for a PA Black bear. The reporter then asked the bear keeper what he thought about it being bigfoot and the bear keeper says..."Bigfoot? The feet look really small, half-foot maybe, not bigfoot." That was the end of the interview with the bear keeper. The next 4 interviews were of common folk visiting the zoo, two of which were young girls (elementary school age). One of the girls said the subject in the photo looked like a monkey and the other said it looked like bigfoot because the animal was big!

That's it from the Pittsburgh local news station. I got the feeling the story was not really taken seriously by the news station.

Unkown Animal, would be an animal that is not identified. I probably should have said 'unidentified other animal', but Unknown Animal will do. 'Other' would be any other entity not falling into the Bigfoot/Sasquatch, Bear, or Unknown Animal Class. i.e. Paredolia, Ghost, Interdimensional being, plant etc...

You may laugh my friend, but in western PA when the furniture stores air commercials advertising deals on bedroom or dining room "suites", they invariably pronounce the word "suits". It's maddening, but perhaps the BFRO was trying to show some street cred with rural Pennsylvanians by intentionally misspelling the word.

All righty then. Processing...

Too many "l"s, too many "e"s, and too many "!"s.

I did it, I voted big Bigfoot..
I don't know what it is, I am not totally convinced its a bear, but I think it probably is... But I thought Bigfoot needed at least one vote..

The 'Other' and 'unkown animal' categories are pulling a Walter Mondale on the poll here, coming up with single digit electoral votes.

I would like to complain that the 'Other' votes are considered outliers, as they are throwing off the perfect symmetry of my graphical parabola.

Coffee right out my nose on that reply

I just want to say - I had nothing to do with this !!!!
