    March of the Penguins vs. Batman. That'd be some film. I'll start work on it as soon as I finish my script about a ruthless lawman enforcing forestry regulations to protect endangered wildflowers, Judge Dredd vs. Bambi's Mom.

    Simple lack of originality? Fresh coats of paint on the same old car don't make it a new car. OTOH these awards do reflect the fact that this is an infotainment business, no actual science or journalism is taking place.

    From their own words, your quote: To me, looking at it, it wasn't something normal. But it had arms, legs, a head. "We couldn't really make out details". https://www.metabunk.org/threads/the-varginha-ufo.12725/post-363788 You cannot quote that...

    That's the length in all fours and including the tail, not the height in a squatting position. The country lacks a monkey or ape that would fit the accounts, hence the suggestion of an imported species. They can reach 4.3 feet or 1.3 metres long...

    Absolutely, I have no evidence for this whatsoever. But people can get muddy, and people with severe learning disabilities might sometimes be more prone to "odd" play/ behaviour than adults without learning disabilities, and might be less aware...

    Human memory isn’t ”flawed”, and I don’t think anyone is claiming such a thing. What actual memory science shows (decades of research, Elizabeth Loftus and others) is that memory isn't a video recording—it doesn't passively store events like a...

    Two thoughts occur: A smell need not be coming from the thing you are looking at while smelling it. and You may have been more fortunate than I gave been, in not being around some surprisingly stinky people. In addition to the variety of...

    When/if you get this data, consider the location of the weather station (by the airport is a common location) and the sampling rate, i.e. how often the data is logged. As for point 1, there are monkeys that reach up to almost 1,5 meter in Brazil...

    But we know for a fact that most cases just don't happen that way. Reality is complicated and, almost always, several unrelated factors contribute to a certain outcome. Think of it like an air crash investigation. Almost always, a long chain of...
