Today’s issue of the Palladium-Item published an article entitled Final Varmint Update! commemorating the anniversary of the last sighting on August 31, 1948. As Loren also mentioned, there seems to be some confusion […]

Injun Devils

Posted by: Loren Coleman on August 30th, 2006

There are many offensive terms for different kinds of people. The list is long. One phrase that you will find in old records and some modern ones, denoting Native Americans or American Indians, is “Injun.” The exact origins of “Injun” are lost in time, but dictionaries will tell you that the word seems to have […]

More on the Russian Plesiosaur

Posted by: Craig Woolheater on August 29th, 2006

Have the readers of Cryptomundo correctly identified this mystery carcass? While I initially thought that the "Russian Plesiosaur" looked crocodilian in origin, I agree with the majority of the commenters here on Cryptomundo that the carcass looks like it is that of a whale, most likely a beluga.

Photos of Russian Plesiosaur

Posted by: Craig Woolheater on August 28th, 2006

Two weeks ago, I reported here on Cryptomundo that there was a report that Russian hauled up a dead plesiosaur. Scott Corrales had forwarded the story to us here at Cryptomundo. The story was taken with a grain of salt, as there were no corroborating photographs. Today, Cryptomundo reader 71_machone informed me that the photos […]
