Oct 20 2008Explorers Find Alleged Yeti Footprint

On the left, a human footprint, and on the right, an alleged Yeti footprint. And possibly a turd. Japanese explorers stumbled across the print on an expedition in the Himalayas to track down the elusive beast.
The large hairy creature resembling a human or bear is said to live in the regions of Nepal and Tibet. While the scientific community largely regards the creature as folklore, given the lack of evidence, reports of the yeti go back hundreds of years.
Yoshiteru Takahashi, the leader of the Yeti Project Nepal, made the discovery leading his Japanese team's third attempt at tracking down the half-man-half-ape.
Half-man, half-ape, huh? Somebody's developing a new crush!

Where are the other footprints?
7. JRod - October 20, 2008 5:04 PM
FAKE!! Totally a photoshop job. the shadows are good, however the tape measure is totally fake. probably stole this right outta 'Harry and The Hendersons'
8. JRod - October 20, 2008 5:05 PM
take that ^ Daisy
9. Davo - October 20, 2008 5:08 PM
looks like something that just burrowed into or out of the ground, I don't even see how they could even think this was a yeti foot print.
10. Ralphie - October 20, 2008 5:10 PM
That is obviously fake. Their ruler doesn't even go up to 12.
11. LSDiesel - October 20, 2008 5:11 PM
Isn't the yeti supposed to have two feet? Or do you think that this footprint was made while he was being impish and whimsical and hopping on one foot?
12. AJ - October 20, 2008 5:30 PM
WTF. It was just them trying to get more funding for their expedition. It's been done before.
13. Daisy - October 20, 2008 5:32 PM
Fake!!
What obvious photoshop fakery by Japanese butt spelunkers. You can tell its a fake because the shadows and shading is rendered incorrectly. You can also tell its fake because the tape measure is in inches, but the Japanese use the metric system.
This is most probably a first draft of fan art for the upcoming Never Back Down fan convention to e held in San Diego this Thanksgiving day.
14. Davo - October 20, 2008 5:51 PM
What they should be doing is looking for the hobbit that left the footprint on the left.

FRIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
did i make it?
16. Vince Lombardi - October 20, 2008 6:22 PM
Hoax. Weight distribution is all wrong.
17. Vince Lombardi - October 20, 2008 6:25 PM
@13
Daisy, I hate to break it to you, but that's a metric measuring tape. The segments are in tens.
Still a fake tho. Just not for the reason you gave.
18. GEOFF LEPPARD - October 20, 2008 6:54 PM
I want to BELIEVE IT!

that doesn't even look like anything. morons cling to myths.
22. Thumperchica - October 20, 2008 8:23 PM
@18 - thanks to your site, I will never EVER look at anyone named "Mitch" w/o vomiting, ever again...
23. Dix Hauser - October 20, 2008 8:33 PM
@LSDiesel
Apparently we should be on the lookout for a on-legged yeti wearing heels.
If it's wearing heels, you know what that means... it likes the Dix.
24. Kyle - October 20, 2008 8:58 PM
Twenty-fourth AGAIN!
Anyway, this looks pretty, uh, not like a footprint. Even if this isn't staged as a hoax or some kind of lame attempt to be famous, it definitely isn't real (aside from that implicit, tiny chance that it is). Really, I'm getting tired of these! Tell the world when you actually find the damn thing, not something that might or might not be evidence that it exists!

27. Daisy - October 20, 2008 10:10 PM
@17 - I hate to break it to you that you're a stupid idiot with no common sense. The measuring tape is in INCHES as stated earlier.
If it was in cm, this GIANT creature would have feet about 16cm in length. That would be approximately 6.25 inches. It would also make the measuring tape almost .25 inches wide. I bet that would spool very easily.
How does it feel to be stupider than me douchebag?
28. Matthew - October 20, 2008 10:36 PM
i'm sorry, that is not a foot print, anyone who thinks it is is now legally obligated to kill themselves.

It was a fat-ass dude!!

BACK DOWN.
I was gonna do more enters, but then I got lazy.
31. Bewilderment - October 21, 2008 2:13 AM
Obviously fake. There's only one living thing on the planet with feet that big and last I checked he is still playing for the Suns.
32. Ginormagantuan - October 21, 2008 2:48 AM
nah that just an imprint of my wang!
33. GEOFF LEPPARD - October 21, 2008 8:13 AM
Sorry, Thumperchica. You'l be pleased to hear that I changed it.
34. Sharpie - October 21, 2008 9:18 AM
@27, do you see the red 10. that means its measured in tens. aka metriccccc!!! god are people f***in retarded? daisy. if your going to make fun of something do it right or its not funny.
35. Bernie Kosar - October 21, 2008 9:42 AM
@34 - If you look a little closer you will realize the tape might be measuring in 10s but it has to be inches because the Yeti footprint is around 16 units long.
Can you or the coach (#17) tell us what metric unit it could be?
36. Bob - October 21, 2008 10:03 AM
The 10 on the tape is 1 shaku or 10 sun.
It's a Japanese standard of measurement. 1 shaku is just about a foot.
These measurements are still used in rural Japan.
So it is more likely that hte yeti hunter is a farmer than that this is a yeti print.
37. Lieutenant Bob - October 21, 2008 10:39 AM
On the plus side, @27, Daisy posted WITHOUT mentioning the words "Photoshop" or "Never Back Down" once.
According to many scientists, this realization should make Daisy's head implode, ending her miserable existence.
We can hope, but only time will tell.
38. LSDiesel - October 21, 2008 10:47 AM
@37, either that, or she's finally snapping out of it. Either way daisy, I'm proud of you.
39. Sharpie - October 21, 2008 10:49 AM
@37 and 38, please check comment 13
40. Lieutenant Bob - October 21, 2008 10:58 AM
@39 /sigh
God bless ya, but sometimes I wonder how you find your keyboard.
41. LSDiesel - October 21, 2008 10:59 AM
@39, Sharpie, don't be jealous just because your ol' uncle diesel said I was proud of daisy. Yes, she's brainless, but at least she's trying.
42. OctoGooch - October 21, 2008 10:59 AM
goodmorning buttf***ers!
43. Sharpie - October 21, 2008 11:00 AM
yea shes trying, that's all that matters.
44. Momboelitist - October 21, 2008 3:18 PM
Hey dipshits! Last time I checked there were 12, count em 12 inches in a foot. As you can see, this tape is broken up into groups of 10. In the picture the print is roughly 17 cm which is approx 6.7 inches. Other reports have said that the print was approx 8 inches long which would be only about 1 cm more than the picture above.
45. tim jobs - October 21, 2008 3:22 PM
@13, 27
1.) its not in inches. the ruler goes up to 10 because its a form of japanese measurement, cant remember the name.. but it is not inches.
its still definitly not real.
this has been tim jobs calling to alert you of the good jobs accomplished. bye now.
46. LSDiesel - October 21, 2008 3:30 PM
@45, who the hell are you supposed to be?
47. Daisy - October 21, 2008 6:52 PM
@38, 41 - Fake praise.
Your comments are obviously photoshopped. You can tell the shadows are all wrong.
You know I'm part of the Never Back Down movement. I'll never back down.
48. Keith Ledger - October 21, 2008 9:48 PM
@44 - What kind of huge monster has 6 inch long feet?
Know what they say about Yeti with small feet?
49. Momboelitist - October 22, 2008 1:29 PM
@48, they're not 6 inches, they're 7. Ever considered the idea of an adolescent? If they are roaming around out there they don't just come out 9 ft tall with 15 inch feet. They have to grow up like every other animal.
