Bigfoot hunters are speaking live in Palo Alto at the Crowne Plaza Cabana Hotel about their Bigfoot discovery. We just started watching and one of the guys is saying that all the disbelievers are just "jealous." Also, the Bigfoot corpse smelled "like something dead." We'll be updating. Again...let's hope the Bigfoot DNA is kept away from the kitchen.

Update: No DNA evidence was presented. That's good news for hotel guests...bad news for Bigfoot hunters trying to attain credibility.

Update, 8.21.08 Just a joke! Like, duh.

If anyone is on the scene at the Crowne Plaza Cabana Hotel let us know what's going on.]]> juliana 2008-08-15T15:32:27-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/8/15/01049/7496 <![CDATA[<p><img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/fakebigfoot.jpg" class="imgborder">Guess what folks--people have found the elusive Bigfoot!
