If you’ve ever seen Forbidden Planet, you’ll find that Saturn’s emissions sound remarkably like the famous electronicly generated soundtrack to that film.

Well, you can definitely say we are fascinated with chasing that ever elusive Bigfoot creature. And it seems we are not the only ones (and we’re glad to know that if we are lunatics, that we have some esteemed company!).
A group of Canadian geneticists are currently testing a mysterious clump of hair claimed to have been salvage from a roving Sasquatch!
A University of Alberta geneticist says he’ll begin testing Monday a tuft of hair that some residents of Teslin, Yukon say belongs to a sasquatch.
Several residents of the town, about 180 kilometres east of Whitehorse, claim a three-metre tall, human-like creature crashed through their backyards earlier this month at about 1 a.m.
You can read all the details here.
Perhaps you’re saying to yourself that you need to shake off the dust of this mysterious Earth and head out into the cosmos. Yes? Well your first stop ought to be the moon, eh?
Check out these folks who want to establish a permanent presence on the moon:
Their goal is nothing less than “The creation of a space-faring civilization which will establish communities on the Moon; promotion of large-scale industrialization and private enterprise on the Moon.” Groovy.
If the moon is not far enough, you can also join up with folks who want take Earthlings to Mars, the Mars Society.

According to AP, Professor Chanan Eshel, an archaeologist from Tel Aviv’s Bar Ilan University, recovered the ancient writing-covered animal skin fragments from a Bedouin. The Professor surmises that the scrolls…
are from “refugee” caves in Nachal Arugot, a canyon near the Dead Sea where Jews hid from the Romans in the second century
The scroll fragments contain passages from Leviticus. Nothing new there, but the scroll fragments are of interest primarily because they point to the possibility of finding more complete source scrolls. Other caves in the Dead Sea area have, of course, previously yielded up The Dead Sea Scrolls, which contain, among other things, interesting apocryphal works—passages omitted from the various canons of the Bible.
Do you see Bigfoot?
Some enterprising “artists” in Northern California have set up a BIGFOOT CAM! Their project is slated to run now through August 20th - we wish them luck.
San Francisco-based American artist Jill Miller is participating in Norwich Gallery’s EAST 05 international exhibition, July 2 - August 20, 2005. Although she will exhibit a performance work, she will not appear in the gallery. At least not in the flesh. Miller’s durational performance-installation, “Waiting for Bigfoot,” will be located in a remote Northern California forest (”Bigfoot Country”). A live video feed will be delivered to the Norwich Gallery as real-time video via satellite uplink, 24 hours a day. The artist will live at the campsite, situated in the epicenter of Bigfoot sightings, for the duration of EAST 05.
Most Bigfoot encounters occur when people are just camping or hiking or generally *not* looking for Bigfoot, so I don’t feel compelled to spend my time Bigfoot hunting. I will, however, be exploring the areas in a manner that might be conducive to an encounter.
