More Alabama news...

You hate to keep piling on, but this is actually zoology-related.  Kind of.  The supposed sighting of a gorilla in Hale County last weekend led to a quick check with nearby zoos, who reported that all of their big apes were exactly where they should be.  So, of course, that leads to only one logical conclusion.

That's right, Bigfoot.

The most valuable item in this article is the news that the existence of Bigfoot was confirmed in 1902.  Actually, if you follow their link to this truly fascinating Bigfoot article by the Alabama Free Press (apparently some sort of paranormal-obsessed blog) , you can ascertain where this little piece of info originated.  You'll also find out that there have been 60 Bigfoot sightings in Alabama since 1980.  Given that there have been considerably fewer gorilla sightings in that period, I'd say the case is solved.
