All week long, I’ll be dropping hints to my family telling you what I want for Christmas. Here goes….
Yes, it’s a book about Bigfoot. No, I haven’t lost my mind. I don’t believe in the big guy, but as a biological anthropology major, I’m really curious to see what evidence author (and bio-anthro prof) Jeff Meldrum has to offer. He seems to have finagled a positive book-jacket blurb from Jane Goodall, who says the book “brings a much-needed level of scientific analysis” to the topic. Given the ridiculous amount of hate mail that mental_floss got when we included Bigfoot on a list of hoaxes a few years ago, maybe it’s time to revisit the subject.

It’s a fake. “BIG” foot my A$$! I saw him at Payless Shoes last week and he was shopping the size 7s.

If anyone is ever in my town, M-town (Memphis), you should totally eat at the Bigfoot Lodge. There’s a ginormous cheeseburger called the Sasquatch and it’s the equivalent of 27 Whoppers. If you eat it in under an hour, it’s free, but thus far no one has done it. There’s also a dessert called The Yeti: a 16 scoop sundae smothered in every syrup imaginable and topped with all kindsa junk, like Froot Loops. It’ll blow your effing mind!
