There are many questions that plague mankind. What is the secret to life? How do we achieve world peace? Is cold fusion merely a pipe dream? If there are a whole species of Bigfoot out there, how come no one has ever found a body?

Well, we can cross the last one off the list. At least according to two men from the state of Georgia. The duo, Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer, claim to have found the carcass of a 7'7" apelike creature while walking in the woods in northern Georgia.

Whitton and Dyer say they will provide proof of their find during a press conference in Palo Alto, California on Friday, August 14, 2008 for one hour and one hour only, from 12:00 to 1:00. The proof includes photographs of the body and results of DNA testing, but not the body itself.

For those of you interested in the find, here are the facts.

Whitton (who also goes by the name Gary Parker) and Dyer found the body somewhere in the woods in northern Georgia (they won't say where).
•  
They are currently holding the body of the creature (which they call the Rickmat Creature) in an undisclosed location (they won't say where).
Whitton and Dyer plan to have extensive scientific testing performed on the Rickmat Creature, so long as it is done by their own hand-picked scientists. These scientists must travel to the undisclosed location where Whitton and Dyer are holding the body.
Whitton and Dyer will allow independent verification to be performed on the Rickmat Creature. Provided that the verification is done by 'The Real Bigfoot Hunter' Tom Biscardi. Biscardi is known by Bigfoot enthusiasts for his work hunting the creatures since 1971, and to the mainstream public for a 2005 hoax in which he claimed to have captured a Bigfoot live.

According to Whitton and Dyer, the creature weighs in excess of 500 lbs, and is covered all over with shaggy reddish brown hair.

More details may be found in a press release, along with advertising and links promoting Whitton and Dyer's companies, bigfoottracker.com, and Bigfoot Global LLC, Along with Biscardi's ventures, The Bigfoot Live radio show www.bigfootliveradioshow.com, and his Searching for Bigfoot Team.

And just in case any interested parties get ideas that they might be able to profit off of the creature that is being held in an undisclosed location and has only been seen by a hand-picked group of people, Whitton and Dyer would like you to know that they hold exclusive rights to all images of the creature, as well as the rights to any and all money making opportunities that may or may not come from the discovery of the creature.

So with this new discovery, we're facing a brave new world. And while we have the answers to some of the burning questions that life has to offer, we're faced with a whole slew of new questions.
