"As for the reputed evidence unveiled at the press conference, I personally found it considerably less than compelling (and I’m sure everyone else present did, as well). The “evidence” in this case consisted of a DNA test –conducted by an apparently reputable source, Curt Nelson of the University of Minnesota — of three purported samples taken from the dead Bigfoot. One sample came back as having come from a human; the second was inconclusive, and the third sample test showed that it had come from an opossum! Biscardi speculated that this was because the dead Bigfoot might have actually eaten an opossum, as this third sample was taken from the creature’s intestine. What all of this proved, or didn’t prove, was beyond me, and what Biscardi and the boys were attempting to achieve by presenting this DNA analysis, one can only guess."
