Good news, there’s not one, but two Bigfoot references on Google Hot Trends. It’s been a busy month for monster rumor on Google. More of that in a minute. Naturally, I picked the “Bigfoot Georgia” term for this article because it’s just got to be funnier to include stuff about Georgia. So, bottom line is that Bigfoot has been found. No word on Jimmy Hoffa or Emilia Earhart though. Sadly, Bigfoot wasn’t found alive. He’d likely make a great dinner guest, but it’s not to be this time. If you’re a skeptic like me, then you probably want to see a convincing photograph. Well, here it is.

Oh yes, the image is copyrighted in case you didn’t notice. Thanks for the subtlety. In any event, there he is. No wonder these things are scarce. How long could they possibly live with their insides on the outside? Now, I know what you’re thinking…this might, just might, be a gorilla suit.

To that, I say you’re crazy. The Bigfoot in the freezer doesn’t at all have the exact face that you’ve seen in every single movie that uses a Gorilla suit as a plot device (all classics I might add). Clearly, it can’t be a Gorilla suit because the fur is reddish-brown. Apparently, this particular found Bigfoot was the red-bodied stepchild. They are frighteningly similar to us…even their social norms match ours. They must be gentle creatures. There have to be some jokes about why Bigfoot would be found in Georgia. There are far too many to list here and the vast selection is making it hard for me to commit to one. So, if you’ve got a joke feel free to post it. It’s been a busy month for Google Trends and monsters. Last week it was the Montauk Monster, which may or may not be a raccoon, animal research project gone awry, a turtle without a shell, or a viral marketing campaign for a movie I won’t mention here so as to stop the virus one blog at a time.

Yesterday, it was the chupucabra, which was featured on CNN (so it must be true). To me, it’s a really ugly dog, but what do I know? You can decide for yourself.

And since when wouldn’t a Texas deputy shoot any mysterious animal like this? What’s this world coming to? Of note, Wikipedia, showing off the “wisdom of crowds” once again, has this as the image for a chupacabra.

Hmmm, seems like there’s a little discrepancy as to what these things are. Of course, since they aren’t real, don’t lose any sleep over it. So, what monster is next on Google Trends? I think they come in threes like celebrity deaths, so this Bigfoot sighting would round out the three leaving us with nothing for a while. Too bad. I was just getting used to the idea that I shared the earth with several Hell creatures.
