I thought I might start a new series of post that I call "Real or Fake". I will post some unusual story or photo and let you know if the story/photo is something Real or Fake.

The first item in this little series is a photo of what is commonly called "Hanging Naked Man", see photo above - Some say it is just a photoshopped fake but after some quick research I discovered that indeed the odd flower is in fact real.

This orchid does bare a striking resemblance to a "Hanging Naked Man" ....completed with varying sizes of anatomy....does size matter? I guess not in the flower kingdom.   

Orchis italica, aka the Naked Man orchid or the Italian Orchid is certainly real and grows in various locations in the Mediterranean.

The Adventures of The Crypto Crew Ep. 1 - Search for Evidence
Where the jokes are funny and the research is Real.
In this episode the Crew search for evidence of bigfoot in the woods of New Hampshire.
They find many interesting things.
I was just trying to make it a little fun while still doing a serious search for evidence.
These "researchers" running around in Flip flops looking for evidence are funny, you're not going to find bigfoot evidence in the city park or on the beach...Get in the woods!


Thanks

Tim quotes Reagan ...so he can't be all bad ..right?
The Bigfoot community is just awesome sometimes.

TCH - This was just too Funny not to post....maybe one of the hoaxer got it on film and will post it on youtube.

This is what happens when a gorilla goes ape in a pizzeria.
Someone wearing a gorilla suit has repeatedly burst into a Little Caesars restaurants in Michigan and dumped sand on the floor, The Macomb Daily reports.
The most recent incident occurred at around 11 p.m. on Nov. 25 when the ape -- who is described as standing between 5 feet 8 inches and 5 feet 10 inches -- emptied the bag of sand on the floor of an eatery in Southgate, authorities told the paper.
Once outside, the primate hopped into a dark blue Chevy Cobalt driven by an accomplice and made his getaway.
That eatery has been targeted multiple times by the gorilla, while another Little Caesars in nearby Lincoln Park has also played host to similar monkey business, according to The Macomb Daily.
Investigators believe that in the most recent incident, the sand had been stolen from a local hardware store.
An employee at the Little Caesar's declined to comment on the incident when reached by The Huffington Post.
People in gorilla suits aren't always the perpetrators of crime -- sometimes they are the victims.
Earlier this year, a man in a gorilla suit was attacked by someone in a banana suit in Ohio.
