Guest Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Actually, on the science side of the campus I attended Chem 101 was called nursing chemistry, but Geol 101 was called rocks for jocks. I like the ring of the latter, and can't think of anything to rhyme with chemistry. OMG, I had forgotten that course! I had *NOT* read anything about the testing we were doing during the *first* lab, and my girlfriend and I were in a corner by ourselves so that we could talk, which ended up almost killing us. The bottle of Iodine was passed through the class and when it reached us I just *poured* the rest of the iodine crystals into the test tube. We were having a grand time watching all of the purple smoke rising when the professor saw it, and *pushed The Panic Button* evacuating the entire class. It turned out it was our fault. I read the lab instructions *before* lab after that. What's worse, he knew my dad BTW, There were more than just nursing students in there. Lots of jocks and pre-med students freshman year IIRC. I dated a couple of them.
Guest Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 I know there has been some remarks about the fight with MM and crew, as it looks unprofessional airing dirty laundry on TV. And quite honestly, I wonder if the film crew was even present for that part, I believe they had one third person camera, but nonetheless with the back pack cameras rolling the producers would have aired that anyway. They love that kind of stuff, to boost ratings. Keeps the viewers tune in to see if there's going to be more of the same. As far as the deer kills, I too have had a couple of reports of a few deer kills, with spiral fractures, as the pictures I had seen were very clear of that, (not sure if the one they looked at, in FB, was a spiral fracture or not, video wasn't clear enough, in my opinion, to truly make a personal determination, again the producers fault), however, these deer kills, I speak of, were also no where near the road and their necks were twisted as well. Drew points out predators normally take there kill from behind, disable them and go for the throat neck, I too have seen this, and duly have attributed such to the normal predator(s) in a given area. However I cannot explain the other type of kill. Especially where these were found. While it constitutes no evidence, it works towards a hypothesis using circumstantial evidence... reported sightings, tracks found...and now these deer kills. It also stands to point out the predator in question,(a sasquatch,) may not adapt the same killing method as other predators as it is a differently structured creature. As early man, did not kill like the conventional predators of its time. So I will stand to reason that, in deer kills as described above, it is entirely plausible from an investigation viewpoint, perhaps pointing to a likely suspect. Again not science, but rather investigation methodology. Heres a twisted/spiral facture of an elk hind leg that we found at Broken Mirror Az. on 8/2009. Their where no other signs of teeth marks on it and it appears to have been twisted to get to the bone marrow. Hope the pics come through. We found most of its bones/skull/spine but it appear that it was the leg take down was the most visable sign. Now could of it been shot and made its way into the forest and died, and a creature came by and twisted its bone/leg to get to the marrow. Sure, however there was no signs of death by shooting and the bones where scatter about. Which does gives to a investigation methodology as the Squatchdetective stated.
Guest Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Yep, I learned about this unholy stew (we had caged wabbits), where I learned most of my important childhood lessons... from the Saturday morning cartoons. Granny confirmed it for me (she was German born).
Guest Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 So is it me or does anyone else think that, like the other BF shows, the researchers call it quits just when things are getting good? Like running inside a cabin when the rocks start coming in or heading for the road when the howl is coming from the hill just below them. Sounds to me it is time to sit down and wait it out. Seriously, The rocks that have been thrown were sometimes *large* enough to kill someone. Maybe if you had a helmet and face and chest protection like a bullet proof vest on, but a *hard* Hit to the chest can kill you, ditto on a hard head strike. I'm: Sweetsusiq, R.N. Worked with hubby when he did general practice. Been around trauma raising boys..and I know what I'm talking about.
Guest Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Sending a message to BF? Do I look like an ambassador to you? If MM wants to feed them a rabbit he can feed them a rabbit, it's ONE rabbit on a whole world of rabbits. Seriously, sending the wrong message to an unproven and un documented creature that some humans dress up as woodland gods? If BF has a bad impression of humanity, it isn't because some well meaning human offered them a tasty morsel. Meaningful interaction? WHAT meaningful interaction, they elude us and rightfully so. How about a truce, they stop throwing stones at us and we stop feeding them and hurting their feelings? Are you concerned about eating an M&M in front of a fat kid? What kind of message would you be sending? This line of absurdity can go over forever. WHEW . . even reality TV is better than this. It's loosely based on reality. . Well Said Captain Morgan! I, as a woman, don't like putting live bait out. I would put something out with enough of a smell to permeate the area and hopefully attract something besides foxes and wolves.

Guest CaptainMorgan Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Hey, sorry for being a jerk. Not that it's an excuse but I just spent a couple of days with the telepathy\teleportation\ufo bigfoot crowd, and I'm still reeling from it. I guess everyone believes in something, and while I don't believe we are tainting our reputations over a bunny, I wish to better respect the opinions of others. Those of you who hear them in your head, can you please tell them to stop stealing our livestock and leave better gifts in return? . Edited June 21, 2011 by CaptainMorgan
Guest Binky Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) They want to be careful with them thar wabbits. Look at my avatar, not to be messed with. Here is a linky to the tale. Edited June 21, 2011 by Binky
Guest Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Well if they "catch" a BF on live TV, chances are the cameramen will have to put their cameras down while the backpack cameras/lighting/lightning rods will allow squatchy's friends easy access to the handle of sorts to pick off the researchers one at a time (like a five man lift with only four men, make that three men and a woman). To some extent they are scouting which is what they do. Future expeditions are always on the horizon remember. But yes plain old TV entertainment with a twist. What do you do if you catch up to an eavesdropper, trespasser or water buffalo.....takes some forethought for sure? Biped said: To some extent they are scouting which is what they do. Future expeditions are always on the horizon remember. But yes plain old TV entertainment with a twist. Susi thinks: The twist could be their necks being broken and their heads removed if the researchers startle a BF. Do the crew members carry weapons of any sort? What if BF attacked them? Have any of you searchers ever had a BF angry at you for startling it? Do any of you think that what these guys are doing is dangerous? A cornered animal or a BF Mother with child could take out most of the crew if he/ she feels threatened. Do any of you take weapons with you while BF searching just in case?
Guest LittleFeat Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Sending a message to BF? Do I look like an ambassador to you? It's up to you how you want to act in the woods. You can portray yourself as a threat or a respectful guest. If MM wants to feed them a rabbit he can feed them a rabbit, it's ONE rabbit on a whole world of rabbits. I agree with you that it's only one rabbit, but it's the principle that I don't agree with. Seriously, sending the wrong message to an unproven and un documented creature that some humans dress up as woodland gods? It happens everytime! Someone makes a statement about their beliefs and then others chime in to say "it's an unproven and undocumented creature". What does that have to do with how one acts around nature? If BF has a bad impression of humanity, it isn't because some well meaning human offered them a tasty morsel. They are quite capable of feeding themselves by raiding gardens, rabbit hutches, chicken coops and being a hunter-gatherer. MM was clearly using the animal as bait and didn't care whether or not the rabbit was eaten or not. The big difference is intent. Meaningful interaction? WHAT meaningful interaction, they elude us and rightfully so. Maybe I should of said the possibility of a meaningful interaction similar to Goodall, Fossey and others who have reported long-standing BF presence on their property. I do agree that they will elude us, but mostly because many "researchers" sneak around, try to trick them and generally act in a threatening way. How about a truce, they stop throwing stones at us and we stop feeding them and hurting their feelings? According to Native Americans, they are the "boss of the woods", so they will do what they want when they want. Native Americans have an enormous amount of respect for BF and all of nature. Are you concerned about eating an M&M in front of a fat kid? What kind of message would you be sending? Now that's absurd. I don't really even have an answer to such a poor analogy. Surely you can do better than that. This line of absurdity can go over forever. I agree, you've certainly demonstrated that. WHEW . . even reality TV is better than this. It's loosely based on reality. Maybe your reality... .
Guest LittleFeat Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 You a vegan? If so, why don't you respect plants? Ever take antibiotics? If so, why don't you respect bacteria? Do you inhale oxygen and convert it to carbon dioxide? Why don't you respect oxygen? Exactly what is the message you are sending? Please re-read my post, I did say that I respect all animals and plants. When Native Americans gather plants or kill animals for their own use, they thank the plant or the animal for giving of itself for their nourishment, clothing, etc. For what it's worth, I do "respect" bacteria because it's an essential part of our Earth. The same goes for oxygen and every other element on the periodic chart. I have respect for the Earth in it's entirety, so the message I am sending is one of respect and humility. I hope that helps clarify my point.
Guest CaptainMorgan Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Yikes, Should you be married ... Oh so now you think I'm miserable and defeated Gee thanks. There's just no pleasing some people. Anyone have a spare rabbit I can borrow for a weekend? I'll give it back *probably* .
