The worm hit more than 700,000 computers in July and August 2001, depositing a virus that was then automatically sent on to the user?s mailing list. It also attacked government internet sites, such as the White House website. The volume of forwarded messages engendered by the worm slowed down all internet traffic.

A few weeks ago, we received news claiming that the mystery of Sasquatch was finally solved. Bank security guard Simon Garth of South Carolina said he had a Bigfoot corpse stored in his freezer. 30-year-old Garth claimed he shot and killed the creature in self-defense after it threw rocks at him during a camping trip.

He dragged the dead Bigfoot to his pick-up truck and hauled the creature to his brother-in-law?s house, where he put it in a meat freezer. He said the Bigfoot was 6 feet tall, weighed around 285 pounds and smelled like ?bad eggs.?

He announced that he planned to sell the corpse to the highest bidder and hoped the Discovery Channel would be interested because he thought they would treat the creature ?…with more dignity than ABC or CBS.?read more

Shelby agreed to the postponement after it became clear earlier today that the Bush administration would not support the measure either.
