Using data processed and even collected by computers in homes and offices, the search is on for the elusive creature known by many names. Bigfoot, Yeti and Skunk Ape are just a few of the names used to describe these curious yet elusive bipeds. Capturing verifiable pictures of the beast is the

>>>here, as stated at the YETI@Home site, "Until now, individual sightings have been sporadic and poorly documented. They are generally reported by isolated men living in remote shacks wearing caps with fuzzy earflaps, sporting 'mullet' hairdos and eating Dinty Moore Stew out of the can with sharpened twigs". Your geographic location does not limit your participation - quite a few cultures through the ages have held claim to having a giant smelly creatures in their midst. Who knows, you could be

>>>first person in your area to see the creature and being connected to the YETI@Home network might ultimately get you on TV. Readers may recognize

[Vico claims we're all descended from these Bigfoot guys, who were also related to the Cyclops in the Odyssey, the giants in Genesis etc. Giambatista Vico, The New Science, 1723. Mutt and Jute in chapt one of Finnegans Wake seem like a Bigfoot (Mutt) and a neanderthal (Jute).. BTW, how the hell did Vico guess, 130 years before Darwin, that the first humans were mute, "bestial" and lived in caves? --bob].
