I think this should close the book on the hand and I hope on Mr. B. Unless he shows up somewhere someday with BF standing beside him we should ignore him and not give him any more publicity. I wish who ever is funding him would look more closely and give the $$$ to more deserving researchers in the crypto field.

Another case of wishful thinking. Biscardi apparently has no idea how bafoonish he is making himself appear.

Is there any ‘credibility’ to wonder about?

I know the good book says judge not, lest ye be judged, but I don’t mind being held up to the standards (judged by the standards) that pioneers in this field have set up for objective study, and if I were ever to be fooled I’d say “yep, you fooled me, let’s all learn from this and not let it happen again,” instead of knocking on trees and making statements of fact about impossible to substantiate estimates of population size and migration routes for the TV cameras.

I mean, I’d love to travel the backroads and see this great country too, but not at the expense of people desperate to make some sense of a troubling and unexplained encounter.

While an illustration comparing a human hand, not foot, with a bear paw would have been more helpful, I think there is no longer any question that the mystery “hand” is not primate.

Notice in the bear, the fifth digit is the most robust, the first the smallest, opposite the human situation. But they are close enough that it’s easy to see how people could be fooled.

Whether Mr. Biscardi was the fooled or the fooler is another question.

When I seen the first pictures of the “hand” I told myself it was a bear paw. This Biscardi dude needs a swift kick in the a**, I almost bet he got the hand from a taxidermist’s trash can. And after reading about how he is backing the New York pics, one should really start to wonder about his credibilty in the field of crypto research!

definitely bear paw. since this and the new york pics I have no respect for biscardi. He needs to actually meet big foot one day and have it show him what a real homid hand looks like close up, in a fist.
