Yes, I really meant repository - but suppository sounds funnier. Although
Snopes is a good filter for determining what is absolutely false and
absolutely true - so much of it is tagged as unknown or unsubstantiated
and my dear elderly mom thinks that means it *could be true. *As so many of
her church friends send her SO much crap (and she forwards it to me..)
I think that Montauk thing does look something like a cow maybe with a
gargoyles head attached.

Hi Don,
I think you meant repositories, not suppositories (but then, maybe
not). Whole different meaning. Actually this one didn't originate with
Snopes, but the picture was in several newspapers on the east coast after
the mystery animal was found on the beach. In spite of what they said,
didn't look like a raccoon to me--even a hairless one.
I remember walking with my boyfriend along the beach bordering the
Intercoastal Canal and seeing a very bloated cow with all the hair scoured
off by salt water and sand, looking like it was just about ready to explode.
Apparently fell off one of the cattleboats that ply the canal. Looked a lot
like the beast in the picture except for the teeth. All purple, green, red
with all 4 feet sticking straight out.
Actually, I've found Snopes very useful in separating facts from hoaxes.
The only reason they have all this stuff is because people send it to them
and want to know whether or not it's real (remember the huge cat picture
that turned out to be a hoax?).

Snopes is one of the largest suppositories (sp) of unsubstantiated crap
anywhere on the internet.
My dear old mom frequently sends me junk like this. She likes miracle
pictures of the virgin mary and Jesus made in the clouds and shadows from
streetlights. She thinks if something is published on the internet - then
it must have some volition. She wants to believe.
Every single item like this, from What can happen when you use your cell
phone while its plugged in the the charger to alien egg clutch found in
church cemetery ALWAYS have some excuse as to why it cannot be verified or
revisited - Or is verified by some BS source that isn't real.
Privately -
