Not exactly the same scenario (because they did know they existed), but interesting that a large population of gorillas was just found in Africa, report was released yesterday: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26016923/?GT1=43001 So yes.. even in this day and age a 'big hairy monkey' can exist for some time without human knowledge/detection.

Interesting comment. After this past week.. i'm starting to question whether or not HUNTERS and HIKERS really exist? CDock, myself, and our families were camping in Southeastern BC this past week/weekend and we did a whole bunch of fishing and exploring. We covered a ridiculous amount of back country and I did not see ONE SINGLE HUNTER OR HIKER! Seriously. I didn't see any, didn't hear any (or any gunshots for that matter).. I didn't see any hunter/hiker poop, or hunter/hiker hair.. didn't see any hunter/hiker bodies lying around.. no hunter/hiker skeletons or bones. I have to admit.. this confused me a bit. I HAVE seen pictures of hunters and hikers on the internet.. I HAVE heard that hunters/hikers do exist and have heard stories of them.. but after thinking about the amount of ground that Corey and I covered.. and that hunters and hikers cover every square inch of the area.. I have to admit, at this point, I'm not convinced that they exist! Now.. humor aside.. the point I'm getting at is that if you seriously think that humans have covered, and do cover, every square inch of the wilderness, a good number of people would find that more laughable. And this isn't a personal attack fisher26.. just playing devil's advocate here. The fact is that an extremely large part of canada (sorry I don't have the actual percentage right now) is still wilderness. And a good portion of that is untouched wilderness. Yes, I agree that there are alot of hunters/fisherman/hikers in the woods.. but I would be so bold to say that alot of them don't do much exploring.. that alot of them probably have their "favorite spots" that they go to all the time. AND, that - dare I say it - alot of them are LAZY.. and don't venture off the beaten path too far. Case in point to this is going to a popular fishing spot.. seeing 20 vehicles parked there.. but then realizing that all of those people are within 1km upstream or downstream of the parking spot. A big part of my thoughts/feelings/arguments on the subject is this.. humblefisherman had his experience when he was 14, and he KNOWS what he saw. I'm sure most of you guys respect him as a capable outdoorsman. Now, I agree that yes, there are some people that need to get off the crack, but to say (Tako) that "I think you guys who say you've seen sasquatch should lay off the green brownies before the fishing trips" is a blanket statement and is unfair. I agree that there are some whackos out there.. but when one of your own friends (not humblefisherman) that you have history with, and trust, saw something in the woods covered in hair and RUNNING on two feet, then you tend to believe instead of dismiss. Tako.. alot of these people who have seen what they think is sasquatch are outdoorsman like yourself. You know what a bear looks like, you readily identified sarcoptic mange right off the bat.. now say that tomorrow, or sometime in the future, YOU see a large animal.. with a FLAT face, BROAD shoulders, and that stays walking on two feet.. you will KNOW that it's not a bear, correct? Now.. people can call you crazy and tell you to get off the crack all they want.. but that doesn't change the fact that you KNOW what you saw was no known north american animal. And that is why I PERSONALLY cannot and will not dismiss ALL eyewitness encounters as "crazy people on drugs".. That being said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I'm a GUY and I still have to say it.... "awwwwww!"

Where's that little "popcorn smiley" when a fella needs it?!!

Don't forget Marty McSorley trying to play T-Ball with Donald Brashear's head..

If Bert stays healthy this year.. which I think he will.. I say he puts up ~75 points this season. We'll see how many people say he's big, slow, and dumb after that..

Do you want a laptop or a desktop?

My fav is Fish Tales. I've heard good things about West Winds as well.

Danger Bay was pretty sweet.

OH yeah! http://www.retrojunk.com/tv/videos/40-the-...obo/1077/#intro I'm sure you can all find something that will make you smile here -> www.retrojunk.com

I don't think anybody said that Moore deserved it.. just that the outcome was alot worse than what was intended. Time for a little 'name dropping'. I had a good chat with Dean McAmmond about 3 summers back about this incident. He was saying that what Bertuzzi did was not okay.. but that Bertuzzi is not the kind of guy to do something like that on purpose. I.E. - purposely break a guys' neck. I said "Bertuzzi's such a big strong player.. i'm sure he meant just to punch the guy in the head.. cause a big scrum, and that'd be the end of it." Dean says "oh yeah, for sure, that guy is huge." Anyways.. the 'fans' can say all they want, but the players opinions matter alot more to me.. and the fact of the matter is.. the reason why Bertuzzi is in Calgary is because THE MAN wanted him to be: http://flames.nhl.com/team/app/?service=pa...rticleid=367929

Right on Brian!! Absolutely amazing pics!!!

haha Did you see the front page of the Sun today? "Flames add Punch" with Bertuzzi's 'mugshot' right under. Classic!

I was pretty choked when I saw the Flames picked him up.. I was really hoping Edmonton would. I'm still a big Bertuzzi fan. I think he'll work out well in Calgary.. we'll see how quick all the haters start loving him again. If he can stay healthy.. and they put him on the line with Langkow and Iggy.. man oh man.. Bertuzzi going in the corners, coming out with the puck and setting up those two.. that'll be a line to be reckoned with!

Have had some good success with this software: http://www.pcinspector.de/Sites/file_recov....htm?language=1

Psssft! That's OBVIOUSLY just a hiker on top of a mountain!

That's awesome man!! Every one of these posts makes me more and more impatient for my little guy to be old enough to take out! haha

There's some new ones floating around on the internet lately.. or at least "new to me". The latest I've heard is a mixture of Listerine mouthwash and water.. I've also heard that Lemon Fresh Joy does the trick too. After using my trust "Research and Development Tool" - Google - I've found most of these are urban legends.. or at least they don't work as good as people claim. Trusty old DEET is the way to go. Whether it's slowly killing us or not is a different story..

Sweet Max! I gotta get that $150 and get out there with ya sooner rather than later!

Got the same advice on a Toyota Tech forum.. it's installed and working! Thanks Dave.

On the stereo side (Pioneer DEH4600MP) I have a blue/white cable left.. and on the toyota harness side I have a straight blue, an orange/black and an orange/white leftover: Does the blue/white go to the blue? Will that hurt anything?

Sheesh boys! Way to make sure the guy never asks a question on here EVER again..

I'd recommend BodyTalk. I was a skeptic at first but I've seen the results first hand and it's pretty amazing. http://www.bodytalksystem.com/bodytalk/ If you look in some of the testimonials, i'm sure you'll find some about chronic back pain.

heh heh... Funny.. I heard the same thing!

Nice Mitch!! That'll be a blast.
