Look what washed up on shore this week in Montauk Point? What the hell is it? A sea turtle whose shell is gone? An animal research experiment that escaped? Alien visitor? Celine Dion?

Looks like it died with attitude, at the end of the front leg looks like it is giving the middle flipper.

Gotta be a prank given how clean-shaven it is. Head was probably mutilated. Some kind of racoon or other varmit?
PS Marv, would you believe I've been to Plum Island a few times on business?! Kinda cool. You have to take the ferry, leave your clothes at the check point, get decon'd, put on the scrubs, then everything in reverse. They have these autoclaves like the ones they steam lobsters in...except they can take whole cows!

That IS pretty cool. I heard they have negative pressure labs too, whatever those are. And secret underground labs, and secret tunnels, and aliens, and gene spliced hybrid clones of different animals, a few two headed dinosaurs..... it's a regular Isle of Dr. Moreau [:D] [:p]

That, by the way, was a great movie. I liked both the original and the remake.

You know what? I think I used "great" too loosely. It was an entertaining movie with an interesting premise and story line.

Most people do - it describes everything from corn flakes to world leaders! [;)]
Oh yes, the creature. <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,396182,00.html">Why would anyone let it decompose in their yard????</a> [xx(]

There was a new picture in Newsday today of this thing along with interviews of people who have seen it around town.....I guess we will find out the real answer soon.

No way. If it was from the Philippines, it never would have made it to our shores. Somebody there would have eaten it.
