Either they think they found big foot and they're investigating or they're pulling some marketing stunt...doesn't seem like a reason for dismissal to me.

possible public mischief charges..?? not sure..but i do know that either of them would have a heck of a time ever giving evidence in a court of law...especially the police officer..imagine him on a stand giving evidence to help prosecute someone?..he would be every defense lawyers's dream..

trust and integrity should be a big part of law enforcement..so, i dunno..i guess it'll all come out in the wash..

I have a feeling the police officer knows the consequences of public mischief, and wouldn't jeopardize his job (if he does, he's an idiot). He wouldn't be charged with the offense if he legitimately believes this might be big foot, or if it's a publicity stunt b/c I'm sure before the police got involved they would have been informed.

And I don't know why you suggest them getting sued?

And scienticien? Do you mean "scientist"? Hahaha

i never said it would get into our DNA as you can't change your DNA, i said carried in our system without being broken down and therefore traceable. typically the enzymes of the stomach will break everything down but since DNA is fundamentally sugars and phosphates there has been proven study that this can be absorbed into tissue, white blood cells and sometimes not be completely digested from matter before passing through the system. it doesn't change the animals DNA but can be present in the animals body in the sample from which it's taken, such as tissue or blood. it's definitely not all the time with all food and most passes through without incident, but no way of ruling out that it's not going to happen to bigfoot eating an opossum.

here is an old report, there has been plenty of further supporting evidence in the last 10 years despite the initial textbook assumptions that assumed it wasn't possible - scientists will agree that a lot of known "facts" are only correct until they have the means to prove otherwise, the same principle behind the world being considered flat before.

anyway, i am actually a scientist and although my degrees are in relatively unrelated fields to DNA i do tend to read and speak with my roommate who is doing a PhD in biochemistry, so hopefully this elays concerns that what i say is "a load of crap". i can see that by starting with "scientician" i opened up a can of worms and it led you to believe i may be a total moron but please see the following 'educational' video to explain the reference



edit: (at 1:24)

i'd also like to point out that the video was being watched by lisa (in the simpsons) when she became a vegetarian, i guess it was really obscure but the reference of scientician was in conjunction with lisa seeking to be educated about the food process in respect to eating meat. i thought it was clever

so they finally found Vivid Boy's mother?
