December 12th 2012 at 12:12am or 12 Slices of Pye

We give our 12-12-12 at 12:12 post to another once-in-a-century event: Lloyd Pye

Bigfoot Lunch Club leaves no opportunity, well, unopportuned. First, we make up words like unopportuned. Second, we listen to the clockwork cosmos presented to us through the somewhat arbitrary Gregorian calendar. That's right, we wont celebrate this for another 100 years--this is the official 12-12-12 at 12:12 post!

How best to celebrate the synchronicity of  12-12-12 at 12:12? Lloyd Pye's 12-part YouTube series, "Everything You Know is Wrong: Human Origins." 

This is your opportunity to get the greater perspective of Lloyd Pye's version of Bigfoot. Did Bigfoot emerge naturally through evolution or was Bigfoot a byproduct of genetic engineering by alien forces.

In his own promotional words:

Everything You Know Is Wrong (EYKIW) is the product of years of research into human origins, spanning everything from the oldest known recorded histories of the world to modern genetic discoveries. In it, Lloyd Pye postulates his alternative view of human evolution, now called "Intervention Theory."

This new theory stands separate from Creationism, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, and explains many of the conundrums left unanswered by those other theories. The book contains endlessly fascinating insights into just how much of what we think we know is wrong, from the very beginnings of life, to the highly inaccurate map we all accept as Earth's surface, to the evolutionary impossibility of the Cambrian Explosion, and the likelihood that Miocene Apes walk among us today. This book provides any reader with a profoundly altered world view.

In honor of the all hominoids out there. This 12-part special is brought to you on 12-12-12 day at 12:12am conveniently pieced together as a single playlist.

Bigfoot Sightings in the Navajo Nation

“I had more reports of Centaurs than Bigfoot this spring,” -- J.C. Johnson

The Navajo Nation covers 27,425 square miles, occupying portions of northeastern Arizona, southeastern Utah, and northwestern New Mexico. Recently a report was filed from New Mexico and published in 

Access to the oral traditions of Native Americans has long been coveted by Bigfooters, often Bigfoot tales are as elusive as the creature itself due to the spiritual relationship the Native Americans have with the phenomena. 

In recent years, there have been more Native Americans willing to speak about Bigfoot, in fact according to this new report, they are seeing many cryptids creatures that may be considered fantasy by some.

Below is a short portion of Jenny Kane's article for Farmington Daily news.

FARMINGTON, N.M. — A smashed watermelon is spread out in the middle of a dirt road in Upper Fruitland, a community where everything from giant pterodactyls to walking lizards to furry children has been reported.

The watermelon happens to be for Bigfoot, another one of the inhabitants of the bucolic town on the outskirts of the Navajo reservation.

“My grandma left it for him,” says Felicia Frank, who lives nearby. “I said, `Grandma, you’re feeding Bigfoot?’”

Down the road, Frank points out where several people have sighted the legendary, hairy being, along with other odd species.

“Things like this happen all the time on the rez,” she says, noting that it is not just in Upper Fruitland that these extraordinary sightings occur.

It's just a matter of getting people to talk about it.

Driving though the Navajo reservation, no one would know the vast tribal land is thought by cryptozoologists to be home to so many outlandish species.

“Navajo stories go way back, for years,” said Leonard Dan, a self-proclaimed cryptozoologist, someone who studies animals thought to be extinct.

“There have been sightings of Pegasus, and of Griffins,” Dan said, referring to two creatures thought by most to come from Greek mythology.

Recently, an unusual number of people on the reservation also have spotted Centaurs, another animal of Greek mythology that is human on top and equine on the bottom.

“I had more reports of Centaurs than Bigfoot this spring,” said J.C. Johnson, Dan's partner and fellow self-proclaimed cryptozoologist.
