Well, maybe.

University of Alberta is testing some hair samples collected in Teslin, Yukon to see if they are Bison, Bear, or something else.
Teslin may not like the expected results, but it could be interesting.

| Im sure the scientist will be paid off as usual to lie about it not being bigfoot hair. |

Well, since there hasn't yet been an official Canadian government acknowledgment of the existence of bigfoot, if the report says this is a bear or bison it will just serve as more proof of a cover-up. And since the US government has yet to acknowledge that such a creature lives here, too, it looks like we have the makings of an international conspiracy. Oh, the humanity!

| No, no Ricky. Bigfoot is the conspiracy behind all other conspiracies. He's the head of the illuminati. Every sighting is a message to others about other conspiracies. I just haven't finished connecting the dots yet. Well, if I disappear and come back different, call it re-education, K? |

Damn, Ricky, it's even worse than that! There is no DNA, because there is no DNA. The idea that DNA exists is what's wrong! |

Trish is right, I remember it from the time I was abducted by the Bigfoot aliens. I was sitting right next to Elvis.

There is no conspiracy. These are not the droids I am looking for...... |

I'm quite sure potatoes exist. I even have potato mash the other night (can't say that I saw any DNA, though). Saying that, if you only THOUGHT it was a potato, then maybe it didn't exist. |

Predictably:
quote:
July 28, 2005 - The hair sample found in Teslin, Yukon did not come from the elusive sasquatch, but rather from a bison.
"The DNA profile of the hair sample we received from the Yukon earlier this week clearly matches reference DNA profiles from North American bison, Bison bison," said Dr. David Coltman, a wildlife geneticist in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Alberta.
The tuft of coarse brown hair was sent to the U of A July 18 after Coltman offered to conduct DNA testing. The sample has undergone rigorous analysis, including using a chemical solution to separate the DNA material from the hair shaft. The gene sequences were then studied and compared to known sequences of other animals.
