Talk:Hogzilla
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Claiming that only a handful of "conspiracy theorists" believe the bigfoot (or sasquatch) to be real--to, in fact, represent an unknown bipedal primate living in the Pacific Northwest region of North America--represents not an only utterly subjective judgement, but also incorrect even in regard of the use of the term, "conspiracy theorist." What "conspiracy" theory is used to explain bigfoot's existence? As for the type of person who believes this animal might actually exist, Jane Goodall is one of them, as are/were the following:

- Wild Pigs, boars, etc... are considered a plague in many places in the USA as their populations are expanding fast. PMLF 21:02, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

- Also, they aren't native to North America, and a pig that size could be doing a lot of damage to the native wildlife (digging up roots, disturbing nests, etc.). Citizen Premier 21:50, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

- Heck, even a small boar does a lot of damage (72.66.116.212 09:29, 5 May 2006 (UTC))

[edit] "Are large boars unusual?"
Doesn't that section sound like it comes from an FAQ? I suspect plagarism.--Foot Dragoon 03:19, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Occam's Razor
Isn't it simpler to say that the guy mis-measured the hog -because- it was hanging by its feet, and he measured its hind legs in addition to its body length? There's no reason for them to argue about whose measurements were more accurate when they obviously weren't measuring by the same standard. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.122.63.142 (talk • contribs) 13 September 2006.hogzilla is coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Yes it is. But try not to use so many letters in a word, or it'll mess up the page.--MDude 01:16, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Weird...
A few years back I wrote a story entitled 'In the Shadow of Vesuvius' which, despite the title, isn't about a volcano at all. It's about a giant boar, and distant cousin of the Calydonian and Erymanthian Boars of Greek and Roman mythology, devastating the Italian countryside. I once, jokingly, said "I should've had some Japanese people running around in the foreground yelling 'Holy shit, it's Pigzilla!'" And now, a few years later I discover a real creature with a near-identical name who has indeed been wreaking havoc only about a hundred miles from where I live (I live just north of Atlanta)! Am I psychic?
