just found this reading through this website
http://www.sploid.com/news/2006/07/bigfoot_has_no.php

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but if the anatomy in question has NO DNA, then it proves.....nothing.....beacuse they are not sure exactly what the original "hand" came from in the first place...how can we say that something that was previously unidentified could be the hand of Bigfoot, and in turn, then say Bigfoot has no DNA? O.k. "something" has no DNA....but what? they don't know what the hell they have.

It's also possible that a "hand" fabricated out of synthetic components wouldn't have DNA...

imposible people would be able to tell PSSSHHHHHHHHHH

they say or alien, haha.

Personally, I wouldn't trust any website that uses images from the Terminator series in an article relating to world events...but that's just me.

It's clearly a tabloid.

Looking online at bear claw skeletons, this hand of unknown origin is so obviously the hand of a bear with the claws removed.

Sounds like the consensus here is: They're full-o-crap......yes?

No DNA?

Nonsense!!!!

All livng creatures have DNA, cells, and tissues that can be tested and identified.

Lack of DNA means one of two things.

1) The severed limb is a fake.

2) The lab technicians are stoners, and did the tests wrong.

Tom Biscardi is the worst thing to happen to bigfoot researchers. He claimed awhile back that he had captured one alive and started sell PPV on his site. Of course nothing ever showed. He is a evil hoaxer.

The entire thing is fake, there most probably weren't any scientists involved at all.

Like someone else said, it looks like a bear paw with its claws removed.

It's all fake folks...tabloids....pshhh

k, if a severed bigfoot/sasquatch hand is just anonymously delivered to police, and they find it has no dna, for w/e reason (i liked BigDaddy_GFS #2-stoner one. lol ) the its obviously a hoax that someone tried to pull off.

What really killed me was the assumption that it MUST be Bigfoot....EVEN THOUGH THE THING IN QUESTION HAD NO DNA OR MEANS TO BE IDENTIFIED WITH!!!!!! So beacuse it's big and harry it MUST be Bigfoot!!!........how asinine can you get.

They must have identified it initally through fingerprinting....

They must have identified it initally through fingerprinting....

hahaha. nice

Yeah, because everyone knows that Bigfoot is on file for loitering....crazy monster....

I thought it was STRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEAKING!!!!!!

Nekkid Bigfoot....so many comments not suitable for this forum.

well, I just lost my lunch

I routinely perform DNA extractions for my job. What I think happened is that the sample was so degraded that intact DNA could not be extracted. NOT that the sample had no DNA.
Besides, the website is associated with Gawker. Take it with a grain of salt

I read here that it had been skinned as well. And the comments at the bottom of the page pretty well indicate that it is a bear paw with the claws removed.

yes but if u looked at the phone poached eggs article they put a thingy saying FAKE wouldent u not want to do that if ur a tabloid

all living creatures to out noledge if it is alien then maybe they dont have dna from clondeing to much OMG DID I JUST GET A OPEN MINDED IDEA......NOOOOOOO THATS IMPOSIBLE

take u for a grain of salt....LAWL u perform DNA extractions on a daily bases...RIGHT WELL now that were being open me and jean claude van damme work out on weekends and shoot pool on week days o and didnt they get DNA from food insode a mamoths stomach a 1 something million year old mamoth.

i wouldn't post a story like this in this site. Sceptics will only lay you down if you believe in bigfoot.
if your sceptic then this is the right site for you otherwise try to keep it for you self.

No, everyone who reads tabloids knows that the stories are made up.



Millions of people do research involving DNA, it's not exactly hard to believe that he is one of them.



No, skeptics will only 'lay you down' if you post evidence from such a weak source, i.e. a tabloid like this. If a known biologist did research on a crypto and published a paper saying it might be real, then I would accept that.

Sadly it only takes one person to ruin the persona for all researchers

Whatever. We only ask for proof. Nothing more.Nothing less.

Would Dr. Jeff Meldrum
Associate Professor of Anatomy and Anthropology
Idaho State University

Affiliate Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology
Idaho Museum of Natural History

For a start count ?

From what i've read he has a paper just about ready to be published

Their are a few scientists that believe in bigfoot and are looking at evidence with their methodology

I agree with that!

Found a video of the hand of unkown origin...

Here are some DNA test results from the hand of unkown origin

Anybody notice what's written on the jar that the "specimen" is being housed in? It gives me great faith in the process in which it was tested...... .....what.....a Vlassic Pickle Jar wasn't available?.....*shakes his head in disbelief*

If there weren't believers, we'd be a bunch of liars.
If there weren't skeptics, we'd have no opposition, and no true questons to ask.

anybody notice that it looks like the hand has been made out of clay?

and 2 post above, yay the jar says old fashion, thats the same jar my grandmother puts here homemade jam in and anoumsly delvierd to poilce, and they think its a bigfoot hand! what is the world coming to when its full of people who think its funny to hoax people into beliving in bigfoot ( this was the lames atammpt yet)

Sploid is a tabloid. This information means nothing.

so its like weekly world news?

Best Bigfoot story I ever read was when he was on jury duty and the defendant tried to escape, so Bigfoot tackled him and was a hero.

The pictures were awesome.
