    There is proof of the Giant Squid and we just haven't found proof of Bigfoot yet.

    Key word there.

    Give it time, and we'll know for sure or not.

    I'm betting thirty years tops because we will already be cutting down so much forest land that we will eventually find one.

    There are still a ton of species we still haven't discovered yet and Bigfoot could possibly be one of them.

    You said it: "could possibly be" - which makes "we will eventually find one" sound a little rash.

    We will either know for sure it does or people like DT_L will keep arguing we just haven't found one yet, that is the argument on this topic that can't possibly lose.

    You still haven't said what's so unbelievable about the Colossal Squid yet.

    We haven't found proof of the Triantiwantigongalope yet either, nor have we found proof of the gryphon. Does that mean they exist? Also, proof of the Giant Squid was found hundreds of years ago, and that's for something rare that lives in the freaking ocean.

    The vast majority of the species we haven't found yet are insects. On top of that, a lot of them are known, just haven't been documented. For example, new species of lady beetles are quite commonly found in urban areas, and I recently heard of a mass finding in China of hundreds of undocumented species, which the locals already knew about. Finding a new species of Bigfoot's stature wouldn't've happened since white man set foot in Australia.

    Question... In addition to the Colossal Squid thread one, that is... Why are you so convinced that it's real? You're not even behaving as though it could be real, you're behaving as though it has to be. Why are you so fixated in this belief when there's nothing to show that it's real? Why do you believe in Bigfoot, but not in gryphons or Triantiwantigongalopes? What makes Bigfoot so different? There's nothing showing that he is, only stuff that's inconclusive at the most, so seeing as there's nothing more to say that Bigfoot's real than there is the gryphon or Triantiwantigongalope, why do you believe in it so strongly?

    Itza FFS, next time you discover new species, make sure it's name is pronouncable!

    What makes Bigfoot so different? The pictures and photos. Now you are going to give me all this junk about how the photos are fake and other stuff. What about the Patterson video?

    Haha, actually it's a name a family friend came up with. There're some funny stories behind it, too.

    And it's not that hard...

    Try - Anti - Wonti - Gong - A - Lope. Triantiwantigongalope. :D

    I can change it if it's a problem... :p

    You still haven't answered two of my questions. And photos and pictures don't make Bigfoot different. There are photos and pictures about all cryptids. If there weren't, they wouldn't be cryptids. There were photos of the Loch Ness Monster, videos of Golden Rods, sound bytes of Bunyips, and the list goes on. If they're fake or inconclusive, they mean absolutely nothing. The Patterson video is inconclusive. It means nothing.

    Now answer my other two questions.

    What's so unbelievable about the Colossal Squid thread? And why is it that you believe in Bigfoot so strongly?

    Because bigfoot is a threat. Who knows what he's capable of after faking the moon landing?

    You know perfectly well the moon landing wasn't faked!

    ...I hope.

    And no. Do not start a thread on the moon landing! And that goes for all o' yous!

    It was faked. By Bigfoot.

    Red Mage said so!

    I haven't answered your two questions because this will go on forever and someone will lock this thread again and then I will have two things to complain about forever.

    What's so unbelievable about the colossal squid? Look at it! It's ginormous (omg it's a word??), and it has evaded detection for so long. Bigfoot could well possibly also be able to avoid detection. Why is it that I believe in Bigfoot so strongly? Because of the evidence. Just look at ghosts, so much evidence.

    Firstly, it's the freaking ocean, we haven't even been able to send an unmanned probe to the depths of the oceans, there is more ocean than land, by far, anything can hide there and be even completely unknown. Furthermore, what is so unbelievable about it's size? It's an invertebrate in a marine environment there is no reason why they could not be that size. I find it easier to believe a large squid could live in the ocean and not be discovered for so long than an ape-man in a North American forest.

    Also, there is no evidence for bigfoot the closest things would be the inconclusive videos, at the least i would expect some physical evidence such as DNA.

    Dude, you seriously gotta stop raising questions and then blaming other people for risking locking the thread if they ask about them, just like these, religion and Nikzad's avatar. If you don't want them talked about because you don't want to risk the thread getting locked, don't bring them up. If you do, and someone challenges you on it, and the ensuing argument results in the thread being lock, it's your fault.

    And there's nothing strange about the Colossal Squid being so big. It's called 'deep sea gigantism'. You want to know what the terrestrial version of that is? Insular dwarfism. Also you're forgetting that the Colossal Squid lives in the freaking ocean, and that it lives in a fairly remote part from that, away from the shores of those who would record and document a sighting of it.

    As for the evidence, there is no evidence. It's inconclusive. If you're taking Bigfoot's inconclusive evidence as fact, then why don't you take my sighting of the Triantiwantigongalope as a fact? I saw it a few nights ago outside the window that's too my right. It was shaped like an umbrella.

    *BAM!*

    Who ordered the inconclusive evidence?
