Did you know that every US state except Hawaii, as well as most of Canada and even Mexico, have claimed a Bigfoot Sighting? Guess those feet were made for walking, huh?

Okay, that was corny, I admit. Sasquatch legends are just about everywhere, and we owe it to Native American Mythology, where the word Sasquatch, meaning 'hairy man' comes from. Granted, ape men are hardly the weirdest Native american Monster, There are amphibious cats, snakes with ram's horns, body snatching shamans, and much, much weirder things.

Unlike some past random Wednesday entries, this one may actually prove useful for some of you. ;-)

Did you know that acclaimed 20th century novelist Edgar Rice Burroughs, best known as creator of the feral child Tarzan, originally worked as a pencil sharpener salesman? He took up writing after reading several old Pulp Fiction magazines and discovering that 'people were paid for writing . . . rot.' He wrote more than seventy novels in his lifetime, and apparently planned on writing even more. I don't know about you, but that's how I plan on going when the day comes.
