BfRLC Trading Cards Return

We have been getting tons of email asking about the BfRLC Trading Cards. Well, after deeper research, the artist Guy Edwards and I realized we really need to make sure we get card number one right. The trading cards needed to reflect Bigfoot research in a more respectful and honorable way. Although Roger Patterson is probably most well known, we felt that he alone was not reflective of the community or spirit of Bigfoot research. In fact no one alone would be the perfect candidate, but Guy and I felt we picked the best.

Ladies and gentlemen! I present the newest BfRLC Trading Card... Charles Hoy Fort. This man inspired the people who inspired the people of Bigfoot research. Now strictly speaking Charles Hoyt was no Bigfoot Researcher, in fact his contribution is less scientific and more philosophic. He was a collector of unexplained documented phenomena , keeping notes and clippings by the thousands in hundreds and hundreds of Shoe boxes. In his collection he probably had enough fodder to expand X-files like they did with Law and Order and CSI. (X-files:Northwest Starring Epic Gilgamesh does have a ring to it. Chris Carter you out there?!)

Anyway before I get to far off the point. Our first card honors Charles Fort, you may recognize his last name as a prefix for unexplained phenomena: Fortean, as in The Fortean Times. Mr Fort, BfRLC Salute you for your trailblazing ideas, fueled by your curiosity and courage to validate the exploration of those things Science can not yet explain.

Bipedal Ape: Nothing New

The embedded video is a presentation by Susan Savage-Rumbaugh, she has been researching Bonobos for decades. Bonobos are a species of ape long misclassified as chimps. Although similar in size and color, they are different in almost every other way, more intelligent, socially less aggressive, less territorial,and biomechanically built for upright walking.

Always trying to think outside the box, BfRLC believes we could gain a great deal more knowledge about Bigfoot from this modern species than from the long extinct Australopithecus.

Using 3d animation the embedded video compares bipedal locomotion of the Bonobos along side modern humans, chimps and of course Australopithecus. If that doesn't peak your interest the video also shows Bonobos playing Pac-Man on an old-school coin-op arcade console.

BF Researchers Lunch Club Update

Greetings to all you members and fans of the BF Researchers Lunch Club. The founding members of the BFRLC apologize for keeping this post hanging for a couple weeks now. We will be posting all sorts of things in the near future and hope that you all check in with us daily, even hourly, and if you have nothing else to do, maybe every few minutes. In the meantime, take a look back at some of our classic posts. The not so secret handshake, Am I my Brother's Keeper, and others are great reminders of how important this site is to all BF Researchers out there. As for lunch reviews...well, we'll be getting back to that in the very near future too. PB and J for our meetings is only so exciting to report; although Epic Gilgamesh does a darnright impressive job of getting both the PB and J evenly spread. Of course an uproar was heard when he cut the sandwich straight across and not diagonally. I mean really, Epic, would you add ketchup to your mac-n-cheese? Bite into your string cheese rather than peeling it? I think something about this needs to be an amendment to our bylaws (yet to be posted). Okay, anyways, we look forward to still being your number one source for news and entertainment!
