two vaguely crypto-zoological happenings in Texas recently. first, there’s a giant spiderweb being built near Dallas.
what sinister motive could the spiders have for building such a thing? other than, you know, catching lots of Mosquitos.
then there’s the growing trend of strange, hairless canines which may or may not be chupacabra.
piecing together the legitimate news sources with the crackpot blog posts, one comes to the conclusion that there is an invasion of super-ugly giant Chihuahuas in south Texas. there was an outbreak in 2004 in Elmendorf dubbed the Elmendorf Beast, and another in July in Dewitt county. A rancher had most of the blood drained from her chickens so she retaliated by making commemorative Chupacabra t-shirts.
the so-called "scientists" say they’re just mangy coyotes, but that’s so unentertaining that everyone ignores them.
