Beijing Olympics NOT live as claimed
Although 95% of the Opening was live, the firework foot prints were fabricated, and created by computer graphics. In fact, it had taken almost an entire year just to make the graphics! (Personally, I don't believe the work put into this fire show went to waste, or should be blamed, but that is me. What do you think? )

Bigfoot found (Declared hoax)
Recently, two men (Rick Dyer and Matt Whitton) have claimed to actually having a corpse of Bigfoot! While failing to provide the body at a press conference in which they claimed would change everyone's mind. After DNA tests, the body only turned up to contain Human, and Opposum DNA (Which they claim come from something it ate). "We're now the best Bigfoot hunters in the world," said Matthew Whitton, 31. Whitton and his hiking partner, Rick Dyer, 28, wore the hats to prove it, advertising their website.

Russian-Georgian Conflict
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said: "The world has seen that even today, there are political morons who are ready to kill innocent and defenseless people in order to satisfy their self-serving interests, while compensating for their own inability to resolve complicated issues by using the most terrible solution -- by exterminating an entire people.

"I think that there should be no mercy for that. We will do our best not to let this crime go unpunished."
