Ripley's Believe It or Not! IZZAT YOU CLEM??!! It is legal in Texas to kill Bigfoot (if you can find him), as he is not legally an endangered species. The human brain cannot "see" stationary objects -- the eyeball must be constantly moving in order to register them. BODY ART BIRD! The hornbill paints itself yellow with pigment issued from a gland on its tail.

Is it ‘legal’ only in Texas (by law) or everywhere? And does it include any US relatives of Yeti and ‘Nessie’?

I don’t know why, but my wife watches shows about Bigfoot. I tell her there ain’t no such thing, but she still watches.

“Remember, it’s up to us. Bigfoot is a crucial part of the ecosystem, if he exists. So let’s all keep Bigfoot possibly alive for future generations, unless he doesn’t exist.”

I’ve heard it’s illegal in Oregon to shoot a bigfoot. The real reason isn’t because they’re endangered, but because you might shoot an idiot in costume who is staging a hoax.(Idiots of course, are not an endangered species.)

So that’s why many animals can’t make out stationary animals: They don’t move their eyes enough.

I think pigeons brains are like that, that’s why they bob their heads when they walk, so they can see things.

Eureka, now we know why the human brain can’t seem to find Bigfoot!

It’s very interesting about the hornbill. I wonder why nature had a bird evolve that painted itself yellow….what genetic advantages that gives it? Will have to look it up….

When do all the stationary objects disappear if you do not move your eyes for a while.
