No Comments on Big Foot Hunter eBay Auction

Thank Boing Boing for finding us this brilliant eBay listing for a sasquatch hunter -yours at only $150,000.

“Most of the Tv shows,books,and articles covering the search for Bigfoot are a joke.Nothing but pure amatuers….My methods would be covering lots and lots of territory in very remote country.I have been a big game hunter nearly all of my life and am an experienced big game hunting guide and am currently employed by a big game hunting outfitter in Wyoming.Contact me if you would be interested in funding an expedition that will get results.”

Wowzers. Anyone have $150,000 I can borrow?

Pink Tentacle has some great images from artist Ryohei Hase. The digital artist’s work mainly focuses around bizzare human/animal interactions. As I like to classify my favorite art as “demented bunny rabbits,” I, of course, love them. Check out his gallery (NSFW).

Americans definitely love pizza (eating 350 slices of it per second) and although it originated in Italy, we have certainly taken it and ran with it. If we could bastardize the Italian tradition by adding things like pineapple and barbecue sauce, then what have other cultures done to further alter the face of pizza as we know it?

MailOnline claims that the true identity of the world’s most famous graffiti artist, Banksy, has finally been revealed and he is none other than 34 year-old Robin Gunningham, pictured here.

Personally, I’m just not feeling it, this guy looks way too lame. But, it’s possible. I mean, Banksy is all just a crazy image, so it is pretty hard to say for sure. I just don’t think they have enough evidence to say for certain yet.

Animals

Adorably Strange Animals

These critters are some of the weirdest ones on the planet. Included is one of my all time favorites, the platypus.

The picture at right is a star nosed mole. That funky looking thing on its face helps it eat like crazy. I’ve seen women at Sizzler that seem to be its distant cousin.
