Earth to Lynn Marzulli
Lynn Marzulli (L. A. Marzulli, but I knew him years ago as Lynn) just posted something accusing me of making "tired and pompous" and "false" claims about his fairy research in a "hit piece" here. What a bore. Whip out the persecution complex instead of making the...

Nephilim and Bigfoot: Can We Stop the Madness?
I wasn't sure where to post this piece of wackiness - here or at Paleobabble. This audience won (or lost) since the subject matter is so often associated with UFOs. Something interesting popped in my blog reader this week from the Cryptomundo blog - a post by Craig...

Giant Mistaken Identity
Hard to believe, but it's been three years since I blogged about Adrienne Mayor's book explaining references to giant skeletons and bones in ancient classical authors (The First Fossil Hunters: Paleontology in Greek and Roman Times). It's highly recommended. Tonight I...
Newly Discovered “Gigantic” Previously Unknown Type of Human Isn’t a Nephilim
The title of this post is kind of clunky, but necessary. When I first heard this news about a week ago, my immediate thought was "How long will it take for someone to email me that this specimen is from the nephilim?" I now have my answer. This morning my email box...
Meso-American Giants and Codex Rios
Please be patient with the images loading. Several weeks ago I received an email with a YouTube URL about "legitimate" giants in ancient Mexico. I watched it and learned about Mexican "giants" called Quinametzin. The evidence offered in the video was the picture...
The Cardiff Giant Hoax
Editor's note: broken link removed. Many of you have no doubt heard of the Cardiff giant -- supposedly a genuine fossilized human giant discovered in 1869. Despite the conclusive evidence for a hoax, one can still find pictures of the giant on obscure websites where...
