Unfortunately, it may have a “cry wolf” effect for the public. When something genuinely cryptid shows up, it may be ignored.

As we’ve learned from the MIM, better to check stuff out when you can so you don’t have to kick yourself later when the specimen is gone.

‘Wierdometer’, what a great word.

Sometimes one thing leads to another and before you know it is blown way out there.

Yeah, that thing does look pretty putrid. Still looks a little squishy.

I had no idea there was so little left of the “Maine Mutant” by the time you got to it Loren. I knew it had decayed, but man…

I do find it very interesting the way the case of the “Maine Mutant” drummed up such an almost hysteric fervor. I’ve been following it on this blog for some town and find it amazing how blown out of proportion by the press and whatnot. I think the whole thing has been an excellent lesson that what may at first seem to be fantastic, could be something mundane on further inspection and therefore we must keep our minds open to all possibilities before getting worked up about a new find. This is very much like what I have been saying about the “Russian Plesiosaur carcass” pics and I think it applies to this case as well.
