- fluidfoundation, on 05/06/2008, -0/+16I thought Bigfoot was gay after he said my ass looked hot in those jeans.
- Dagreenman, on 05/06/2008, -1/+21You don't have to be Nostradamus to think, "Hmm, I am currently looking at a huge ball of *****-covered rats slathering a path straight towards my face. I predict that bad things will soon happen."

It's not like 2 pages is really that bad. - andrew1210, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3For the suspense!

- Nhmarine, on 05/06/2008, -4/+1German Tiger-bunnies FTW
Yet another display of the collective gullibility of the human race. Sure, we are not "gullible" enough to believe these myths now (but what we are gullible enough to believe in is, say, religion) but people were such ignorant idiots (religion... religion.... Do you see the same paralell that I do?) that they believed this... They forgot to mention the CucuĂ.- Enasni1212, on 05/06/2008, -1/+4I'm going to start a spreadsheet documenting how long it takes for someone to bring up either religion or politics in relation to an unrelated story. I will sort by topic of original story, number of comments before the first religion/politics post appears, and the amount of time before the first religion/politics post appears. If anyone has any more ideas for possible correlation, I will gladly expand the study.
- Nhmarine, on 05/06/2008, -2/+1It isn't unrelated. Assume that religions are wrong in its assertion that there is a "higher power" or diety or whatever. Now, with this assumption, the poeople who believe in them are obviously gullible enough to believe in it. It is the same with these legends, people were gullible enough to believe in them. Therefore, these mythical creatures are like gods, in that they have been able to convince generations of their existence without any proof other than fairy tales. See the correlation now? Of course you don't, you don't want to, so you will never be able to see anything....
- Enasni1212, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3The correlation was obvious. In fact, I happen to agree that religion is simply superstition on an extremely wide scale. But religion bashing in response to a comedy article is a little ridiculous. I don't mind people ridiculing Christianity in response to something like Expelled, or bashing Liberals/Conservatives/Whoever when the focus of the article is something stupid that a politician did. It just seems excessive when people bring it up in response to a Cracked article or a Penny-Arcade comic, or whatever.
Maybe I shouldn't have said unrelated... perhaps uncalled for would have been better.

Lao pride!!!- Enasni1212, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Are you proud of Laos, or proud of her fire-breathing Buddhist eels?
Oh, and have you seen any?- loun88, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Well when I said Lao pride, I meant I am proud of Laos.
No, it's a myth.
- loun88, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Well when I said Lao pride, I meant I am proud of Laos.

- destron, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Dugg for "gay bigfoot"
- DiggasWAttitude, on 05/06/2008, -0/+6I worked in some Andean villages where they have a legend about a white devil that comes and kidnaps little children. Unfortunately for me I fit the physical description and was often greeted with a hail of large rocks. Now they have legends of a dumb white gringo that runs away shrieking like a little girl if you throw rocks at him.
- NeoCon4Life, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1Bunnies that need to be flashed to be distracted.....
- beargrylls, on 05/06/2008, -0/+3Ladies: I am a Wolpertinger.

- MrTito, on 05/06/2008, -0/+4In Mexico?
- craighoxton, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1Soy El Chupacabras!
- Jennadickes, on 05/06/2008, -1/+2There's actually a Wolpertinger pet that you can have in World of warcraft. (I feel like such a ***** nerd right now) It's a quest reward for the "Beerfest" thing they have in game around Octoberfest time. You have to get really drunk in game until your character starts hallucinating and catch a bunch of Wolpertingers. Then you get the cute little bunny creature to follow you around everywhere. He also makes crazy noises when you click on him. Not that I know this from experience or anything.
- FadieZ, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2Gay bigfoot's REAL, assholes.
- Samohtneas, on 05/06/2008, -1/+3FLYING RAPE OGRES AND SPAM JAVELINS
- Lynxpro, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1I am disappointed that none of these beasts can be killed with a six demon bag. So much for shaking the pillars of heaven.

- MattSkiX13, on 05/06/2008, -0/+0how to kill a manananggal: sprinkle salt or garlic on the detached torso so its unable to re-attach and it will die when the sun comes up.
or shoot it a lot. how simple... i'm surprised there are still some around. I might have to plan a manananggal hunt soon. - saymawa, on 05/06/2008, -0/+2kill it with fire!
- Kali075, on 05/06/2008, -0/+1I bet half of the people who read this only noticed it because it starts with "Gay Bigfoot"
