Bigfoot in recently released movie

by jimmyokla (no login)

I just seen on TV that several scenes were deleted from the original theatre release of "Bruce Almighty" with Jim Carey.One of the scenes they showed was Carey standing over a Bigfoot saying "I knew they were real!"These deleted scenes are included on the video tape release the commercial said.My question is this.....

Why did they delete the scene with Bigfoot in it in the 1st place?Were they told to do it by someone?Did they think that it wouldn't sell with a Bigfoot in the movie?Just wondering.Any input?

But a co-worker told me about it. I plan on renting/buying the video to watch the scene. I saw it in the theater. I enjoyed the movie, but I doubt that the scene would have an impact either way.

Joe is a very close friend of mine that I have known for about 5 years. We met when we were both part of the BFRO. Just to clear the air, a certain person has suggested that Joe and I are one in the same person. Joe and I are not the same person. Joe helps me moderate the message board. We are two different people.

I find it quite amusing though, as just a few short months ago, someone accused me of being Mike Morrow. I guess next I'll be accused of being other people. I hope I get accused of being John Green, or Grover Krantz or Rene Dehinden. haha. I guess that makes me a people shifter huh?

Scientists Find New Species of Whale
2 hours, 17 minutes ago

By ALEX DOMINGUEZ, Associated Press Writer

Japanese scientists say they have identified a new species of whale — a remarkable discovery if confirmed.

The animal is a type of baleen, the family of whales that strain tiny plankton and other food from seawater, the researchers say.

"Can you imagine? An animal of more than 10 meters was unknown to us even in the 21st century," said Tadasu Yamada of Tokyo's National Science Museum, the senior author of the study that appears in this week's issue of the journal Nature.

Most baleens grow to enormous proportions, like the blue whale, which at 75 feet long and more than 100 tons is believed to be the largest animal that has ever lived.

By comparison, the new species is on the small side at about 30 feet long — about the size of a motor home — and slender.

While new species of smaller creatures such as insects, birds and amphibians are discovered every year, it is very unusual for scientists to identify a new mammal, particularly one so large. Most whale species were described during the 18th and 19th centuries when commercial whaling drove many to the brink of extinction.

Scientists currently recognize 70 whale species, including as many as 12 types of baleen whales. But little is known about the subtle differences among many types of whales that are seldom seen by humans.

The Japanese researchers made their discovery through DNA analysis of nine adult whale carcasses. Eight — five females and three males — were killed in 1970 for research in the eastern Indian Ocean and the Solomon Sea. At the time, scientists assumed they were undersized fin whales.

A ninth whale — a female — was killed accidentally in the Sea of Japan in 1998. Fisherman towed it to Tsunoshima Island, where Yamada examined it. Later, he began comparing it to preserved samples of the eight whales in his nation's fisheries research collection. The anatomical and molecular comparison took several years to complete.

Nearly every whale carcass raises new possibilities. It could take additional studies over several years before other biologists accept the new whale species.

According to the Nature study, the new species shows several differences from fin whales, including external features, bone structure and DNA. The researchers named the new species Balaenoptera omurai in honor of the late Japanese whale researcher, Dr. Hideo Omura.

Besides being smaller than fin whales, the new species has fewer baleen plates in its mouth, Yamada says. Baleen is a hornlike substance that forms filaments that hang down from the roof of the mouth to strain food from seawater.

DNA analysis performed on samples from three of the whales showed they differ from fin whales by five nucleotides, or base pairs of amino acids, in sections of the whale genome used for comparison.

Some U.S. researchers are skeptical of the Nature report.

James Mead, curator of marine mammals at the National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian Institution (news - web sites) in Washington, said there are at least seven other whale species that share the same traits, and a more careful comparison is needed before a new species is accepted.

"I am disappointed in the lack of thorough comparison with other species of allied whales," Mead said.

Harvard whale researcher Joe Roman said the evidence for classifying them as a new species was "compelling and certainly warrants further study."

Researchers on both sides of the Pacific said the questions surrounding the nine whales demonstrates how little is known about them. They condemned whale-hunting, even for scientific purposes.

In 1986, the International Whaling Commission (news - web sites) imposed a moratorium on commercial whaling. Japan, however, takes hundreds of whales a year under a scientific exemption, usually selling them for food and other products after they are studied.

Norway has ignored the ban since 1993 and resumed commercial hunting, while Iceland resumed scientific whaling this year.

Yamada said the new species is a small population, which should be studied more carefully before countries decide to harvest the whales for research.

Roman agreed, saying, "research whaling could actually endanger this exciting discovery."

That whale was there for countless thousands of years before it happened to get documented and acknowledged by humans. The same is true of BF. :)

Our son has been invited to join in a great adventure with People to People Student ambassador program in June 2004.
He is the only child from our school district which is very exciting, because the only way to become a student ambassador is a teacher or guidence counslor had to nominate the student/students.

Earl & Pat Dundore

Hello Friends & fellow Bigfoot hunters,

My name is Andrew Jones, and I am a 10th grade student from Eastern Lebanon County High School in Myerstown, Pennsylvania. I was recently interviewed and accepted to participate as a member of the Pennsylvania People to People Student Ambassador Program to Australia and New Zealand this summer. This 22-day program of exchange consists of meetings with government officials, interaction with other students my own age, educational activities and home visits with host families. I am currently seeking financial sponsors to help me with my goal, and I would greatly appreciate your support.

In case you haven't heard about People to People, there website is www.studentambassadors.org . President Dwight D. Eisenhower founded People to People in 1956. He believed that if people from different cultures could come together in peace and friendship, so eventually would countries.

Student Ambassadors are carefully interviewed and evaluated before their acceptance. We are excited to share our experience with schools and civic clubs when we return. As a Student Ambassador with People to People, I can also earn academic credit through the program's many educational elements. Personally, I would like to become a Student Ambassador because I want to represent the United States overseas.

The tuition for the program is $4,895, which includes, meals, transportation, accommodations, and educational activities.

I am asking many friend's & family members to donate a reasonable amount to help me reach my goal. Is it possible for you to assist me by making a contribution? I plan to give a speech and share my journal, photographs, and experiences with all of my contributors upon my return.

My program tuition is due by May 1. Checks may be made payable to People to People Student Ambassadors Program and forwarded to me at 213 West Carpenter Avenue, Myerstown, Pennsylvania 17067. Your generous donation will enable me to share in this wonderful education experience.

Thank you in advance for your gracious consideration and support.

Sincerely yours,

Andrew Z. Jones.

We just received a letter from the student embassator program. stateing that they feel it would be in Andy's best interest if he did not particapate in the program this year. They think he needs to mature more before enbarking on such an experence. We want to thank all that sent there best wishes. And those that sent money can expect it to be returned ASAP.
Thank-you to all
