Books What's French for "Sasquatch?"
Posted by Paul Constant on Fri, Jan 16, 2009 at 3:14 PM
Good news: There is a new cryptozoology journal called Kraken.
Kraken is intended to accomodate not only new studies devoted to cryptozoological files [cases], but also of studies dedicated to the epistemology and the history of this field, [related to the] many and rich controversies which accompanied it.
Bad news: It's French.
We need a translator and an American publisher, stat.

I'd like to point out for the record that cryptozoology is the fixed-gear cycling of science. Mildly entertaining at first, it quickly becomes very, very boring to all but a few who relentlessly foist it on the rest of the world.

Fixies may be boring, but they exist. Cryptozoology is complete horseshit. It's the astrology of biology, and probably has an even higher percentage of fraudsters. It's the opposite of science. There are probably millions of undiscovered species in the world; airlift into the New Guinea mountains and you'll discover them with every footstep. None of them are great big hominids in Western forests.

Oh, silly Fnarf, next thing you know you'll be telling us that Anthrobiological Zoology isn't a field of science ...
And we don't know if you're correct about the Western forests because parts of BC are still pretty much unexplored in a biological sense. Especially marine life.

DM--ha! Your analogy between crytozoology and fixed-gears made me laugh! So, thanks!
Fnarf--I'm guessing you've got a pocket full of spoke cards? Hey, just clownin'!
OL--Your translation is for the Abominable Snowman and I believe that Yeti is the same--isn't ye olde sasquatch more of a North American Pacific Northwest dweller? Where's Fox Mulder when you need him?!
JR--I've heard the same.
KI--Didn't mean to forget ya--ahoy, indeed!
Peace to all!

Bigfoot, le légendaire géant velu d'Amérique du nord!
Sasquatch, et le mystère des hommes sauvages!
Thank you for mentioning the new journal Kraken (named after the legendary cryptid that turned out to be the giant squid), from the Dépt. de cryptozoologie B. Heuvelmans, Musée cantonal de zoologie, Lausanne, Switzerland. The publication is taking a level-headed and scholarly approach to the subject.
Best wishes,
