The Montauk Monster
When something washes ashore in Montauk, rumors ran rampant (and still are) about the Montauk Monster. Is it an experiment from Plum Island as some are saying? Is it a monster? Is it a joke? Is it some poor animal we would readily know if not made unrecognizable from the water?
I don't know what it is. I hope it isn't an experiment but nothing would surprise me about humanity. If it is a joke, then it's a stupid joke. Whatever it is, I just feel sorry for the poor thing (assuming this "poor thing" was once alive and wouldn't otherwise use all those teeth to rip me apart).
I am going back and forth about posting a picture. If this isn't a joke and was once a live animal, then posting this picture isn't very respectful and it should be left in peace. If this picture disappears, you will know why.
Updated 5/13/09: It's back - supposedly. There are pictures of this alleged Montauk Monster surfacing again. Photoshop? Experiment gone wrong?
