Yoshirap Word of the Day
Sooterkin: A sooterkin is a fabled small creature about the size of a mouse that certain women were believed to have been capable of giving birth to. The origin of this initially jocular fantasy lies in the 18th century, and came to be considered factual by some eminent physicians of the day. It is attributed to a tendency of Dutch women to use stoves under their petticoats to keep warm, hence causing the breeding of these small animals, which when mature would be born.

North Texas Chupacabra on the Move
North Texas is currently enduring a chupacabra epidemic the likes of which have not been seen since the late 1990's. Thankfully Channel 8 (WFAA) is on the story:
I enjoyed the logical leap from "found a hairless dog/coyote/other common as dirt 4-legged canine" to "chupacabra". It's that kind of outside-the-box thinking that will enable us to overcome this invasion from the south.

Yeti Another Bigfoot Sighting
This one looks legit though, since it includes a drawing of the suspected man-beast. Favorite quotes, "... he had beautiful hair." and "...git ...git."
