The newspaper folks there do not wish to have this be confused with recent events.

Therefore, the editors tell me they have reworked and clearly identified this page as an April Fool’s joke…from 2005…based on my contact with them.

I appreciate their decision to put some distance between this old story and the recent ones that they clearly feel are more serious.

The article was published on April 1 in 2005 as part of the april fools issue. I have updated the page to make that clear. ‘tofino sasquatch’ seems a popular search term today…

This is a 2 year old press release. April 1, 2005 has already come and gone.

Fairly funny, but it began wearing thin after a bit. My favorite term though is ‘Parallel Paleontology’. Very cute.

I’m a little worried that anyone had any doubts about this one before they even opened it.

Let’s not get TOO eager here, folks.

I think it is rehashed from the past to lump serious researchers such as Meldrum, Green, and others to look silly and foolish. It may be an early April Fools joke, but I find nothing funny about it.

Beat the rush, post your April Fool’s Joke early!

BTW some thinks I’ve learned about April Fool joke stories:

(1) Never post before April 1st.

(2) Never joke about Alabama football or Kentucky basketball,

(3) Bigfoot posts should include a Biscardi photograph and should be located in some small Southern town like Madisonville, Tennessee,

(4) Any cryptid posts from Wisconsin should be about werewolves,

(5) Always quote a Russian scientist,

and

(6) Now in the internet days, you must have a companion video on Youtube.

I have just confirmed with the British Columbia newspaper where this was published that is came out in their April 1st issue in 2005.

The way the opening paragraph of the blog is written is extremely misleading, as it sounds “new” and that it has appeared after the recent BC news and media items.

It did not.
