Rush Limbaugh is an idiot. Or else he’s playacting the role of the idiot, to appeal to his idiot listeners, which might be even worse. Either way, I don’t follow his bigoted ranting, but I did see in the headlines recently that he, in his own knuckle-draggin’, imbecilic manner, asked a semi-legitimate question. When the…

Bigfoot: An Absence of Evidence, or Just an Absence?
And here is presented this week’s second (of three) primate/anthropology-related article.

It’s a demon from Hindu folklore. … Wait, you wanted more? Okay, um, it was featured in that cartoon SECRET SATURDAYS, about the kid who goes around chasing cryptids, as a cute (well, I thought so) cat-like creature. Rakshasas are featured prominently in the RAMAYANA, a Hindu epic written some several centuries BC; this last…
