Turns out Bigfoot was just a rubber suit. Two researchers on a

quest to prove the existence of Bigfoot say that the carcass
encased in a block of ice -- handed over to them for an
undisclosed sum by two men who claimed to have found it --
was slowly thawed out, and discovered to be a rubber gorilla
outfit.
The revelation comes just days after a much ballyhooed

SPORTS Buzkashi
The national sport of Afghanistan and Kyrgyzstan, buzkashi might take

the goat for most bizarre sport of all. It is similar to polo in that players
on two teams sit atop horses, they are trying to move an object toward
and into their goal, and the game can get pretty rough.
However, those who play buzkashi do not
use mallets, nor do they use a ball; instead, they use a dead calf or goat
whose head has been cut off. The players grab the dead headless calf or
goat, pass it off to other players, and try to score by getting it in their
goal. Serious buzkashi players train intensively for years, and many of the
masters over forty years old.
