Surprise, surprise -- the whole Bigfoot finding was a hoax. DNA tests proved that one of the two samples of DNA taken came from a human, and the other was 96 percent from an opossum.

We all should have known -- since the real Bigfoot resides in Malibu -- and responds to the name Brad Garrett.

A couple of Southerners had a press conference today to discuss their "discovery" of the legendary Bigfoot. The only problem -- they didn't want to show the body! Uh huuuuuh....

Mathew Whitton and Rick Dyer showed two photos of the alleged Sasquatch, but denied assembled reporters access to the corpse until "scientists" could examine it. And by scientists they probably mean their fifth grade kids and their Fisher Price doctor's kit.
Something stinks, and it ain't that hairy beast in the freezer.
