Found Stuff

The ‘Montauk Monster’ is a news story which is gripping the USA at the moment. It all started when a ’strange rodent-like creature, with a dinosaur beak’ (not our words by the way) supposedly washed up on an East Hampton, NY beach in mid-July. It has the whole nation gripped as they try to figure out what exactly the creature is.

A tipster is said to have stated that there is a government animal testing centre very close by on Long Island, but this makes no sense. Why would the government be involving themselves with such a hideous thing, and what possible use could it have for them?

Now, lets look at the pictures of the beast itself…

It sure is ugly, I’ll give you that. It must have scared the hell out of the people who found it.

Now, the story has been covered on CNN, Fox News, etc, but we believe it is all an elaborate hoax, but a good and humorous one.

Here is the orginal story on Gawker.com. It seems to have been a story which caught everyone’s imagination, and they only published the 1st of the 2 pictures you can see above. They gave very sparse details about where the picture came from, and now the big mystery is - Where is the carcass now?

Fox Sports run a story entitled “Montauk Monster mystery gets more mysterious” in which they play up the fact that last Thursday there were many ‘experts’ giving differing opinions, but there was total agreement in that nobody seemed to know where the carcass actually is now.

The East Hampton Department of Environmental Analysis stated that they hadn’t disposed of the carcass, nobody else seems to have it in for study, so the original group who ‘found it’ must still have it.

Then, later on Thursday, the 2nd picture was released of the beast, in a more decomposed state, by 3 women who claimed to be the ones who originally found it.  Another story on the monster which PlumTV published also seems to throw doubt on any links to the Long Island animal research facility.

To complicate matters, Alanna Nevitski, who e-mailed the original photo that started the whole drama, told New York magazine the three women were “full of” shit, and that they had nothing to do with the picture.

We do believe the experts though, as quoted in the FoxNews story, the animal is a semi-decomposed Racoon or some such animal. The ‘beak’ is actually a decomposed mouth with canine teeth.

It has to be, nothing else makes any sense……. or does it?
