DYE for a job.
The Welsh township of Aberdare
has taken the unusual step of
offering out of work citizens a
free fake tan and makeover to
boost their confidence.
Suffering an unemployment
rate of nearly 10%, the town’s Job
Centre staff believe that giving
genuine jobseekers a tan and
makeover will give them an
added incentive to find work.
IT’S a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Big Foot!
Idaho State University has
thrown its weight behind a plan
by faculty member, Professor
Jeffrey Meldrum, to take to the
skies in search of Big Foot.
A firm believer in the existence
of Sasquatch, Meldrum has faced
down the scoffs and criticism of
fellow scientists for years, and is
now planning to prove them all
wrong.
Dubbed Falcon Project, the
exercise involves launching a
remote controlled blimp into the
sky and floating it across remote
mountain and forested areas in
the US Pacific Northwest, and
northern California and Utah.
Meldrum hopes that a thermal
imaging camera attached to the
blimp will finally provide proof of
the existence of the ape creature.
The blimp would then send
images of the creature to ground
crews, who would then search it
out and make contact.
“The challenge with any animal
that is rare, solitary, nocturnal
and far-ranging in habitat is to
find them and observe them in
the wild; this technology provides
for that,” he said.
Contemporaries of the anatomy
and anthropology professor have
however ridiculed the plan,
saying it is unlikely that big foot
ever existed due to a complete
lack of physical evidence
(including fossils).
Not deterred, Meldrum is
hoping to raise around US$300,000
in private funding to create his
blimp, and is confident the project
will be in the air by March 2013
