Is it a muskrat? An otter? Or perhaps a monster?
Photographs of a strange-looking creature discovered in a remote Northern Ontario aboriginal community are creating a raging Internet debate.
The photos show a brown furry animal with a bald white face and large teeth.
The unsightly critter was spotted in Big Trout Lake by two nurses walking their dog earlier this month. The animal is about 30 centimetres long and has a rat-like tail with “almost a human face,” says the community’s website.
Some residents of Big Trout Lake, an Oji-Cree community of 1,200 south of Hudson Bay, believe the animal is a rare local creature known as an omajinaakoos, which roughly translates to “ugly one”. Band councillor Darryl Sainnawap said his great uncle spotted one about 50 years ago.
“He says in his younger days he was with his grandfather ... and he did see this same creature and that’s the last time he saw it,” he said. “His grandfather called him omajinaakoos.”

It's clear that it's a Shoppus fotohorribilis. Quite commonly seen on the internet these days. This organism was previously known only to certain newpapers sold near the cash registers of grocery stores. According to these papers, the creature is not of earth, but was brought here by alien spaceships in order to jam up the internet with many widths of band in discussing it so they could more easily take over this planet. Resistance would be scattered and futile due to the inability of puny humans to communicate to each other and form an organized resistance, according to these newspapers.
The creature is closely related to S. fotoridiculus, S. fotogullibilis, and S. fotojesuspaceshipcaptin, among others.

that would be 1/3 not 1/2. or more likely, 1/4, 1/4, and 1/2 of something. (yeah, fractions. :angel: )

I think our local protophotobiologist, 230RN, described the beast perfectly.

Cromlech, where did you get that picture (the top one, post 8 ) of my ex-wife's lawyer? I thought he retired to the Cayman Islands right after our case got settled.

Not that I am offended, or even care, but I think it is odd to see an APS administrator talk about Pelosi like that.

I just wish he'd quit beating around the bush and tell us how he really feels about Pelosi.
