This monkey in a freezer story is just too funny to pass up:

Talk about Internet buzz! The Web site SearchingForBigfoot.com claims it has found the carcass of a Bigfoot in the woods of northern Georgia and it’s even showing a picture of what they purport is the body of the “creature” stuffed into a white container and frozen on ice.

…The Bigfoot searchers have promised an official announcement with “DNA evidence and photo evidence” at a 3 p.m. news conference in California today.

There’s a problem, however:

Don’t hold your breath that this is for real. Biscardi has been linked to Bigfoot hoaxes before. In 1995, according to the LiveScience.com Web site, he claimed his group had captured a 400-pound Bigfoot and that he would submit proof a few days later.

Such proof never came.

Nevertheless, millions of people are banging away at this guy’s web server:

The rush to view purported pictures of Bigfoot on Thursday was so intense that the Web site maintained by a group claiming to have bagged the legendary biped went offline. Queries to SearchingForBigfoot.com were returned with an error message that said “Bandwidth Limit Exceeded.”

Personally, I have for more faith that Russia will pull it’s troops out of Georgia peacefully. I hope that this story doesn’t pan out anyway. I’d rather joke about bigfoot with my hiking buddies than have to worry about actually running into one.

Update II:
Best comment on this story yet:

“looks like a F-ing carpet thrown into a bath tub with a Chewbacca mask on top.”

Update:
Bigfoot chatter is blowing up on Twitter too.
