What's Your Favorite Monster? 245
Pickens writes "Mankind has always had a fascination with monsters, and mythologies from around the world include stories of strange and terrifying creatures. Examples include the half-bull, half-human Minotaur of Greek myths, the living clay Golem of Jewish traditions, British elves and Chinese dragons. Live Science has an interesting photo essay on their ten favorite monsters that may have a basis in real life. Their rogue's gallery includes the Ogopogo, a mysterious monster in Canada's Lake Okanagan; the Chupacabra, that Latin Americans believe is the unholy result of secret US government experiments in the jungles of Puerto Rico; and the perennial favorite Bigfoot."

I just know that one morning I'll walk outside and he'll have Gojira's carcase lying at the base of the porch steps.

I second that.
The desire to suck blood, howl at the moon, hoard treasure or lure ships onto rocks just don't hit home with me. But stuffing one's face with cookies is something that I can relate too. Plus none of those other monsters have as catchy a song as "C is For Cookie".

And where would the Neanderthals find a computer? Let alone the means to connect it to the internet.

Meh. The song's not that great, but it's good enough for me.
