He was migrating south for the winter. Then the Panamanian kids stoned him to death, because that is what you do when you are in a conflict zone. (Is Panama not a conflict zone?)

The North Shore Sun received pictures of a dead creature that supposedly looked like the Montauk Monster. Three Long Islanders have testified to seeing the animal. The poor animal corpse washes ashore just as people have stopped caring so much about monsters. It makes me question the meaning of life and death, and whether anything means anything anymore.

Compelling evidence that the Montauk Monster is, in fact, some type of (formerly) cute dog. An email from alert reader Marcus Hyde: “From the new photo supplied, it’s easy to see that it is a dog. Likely some breed of boxer or bulldog. There are remnants of fur still on the body. And the nose area is not a ‘beak’ but simply part of the skull left exposed from being nibbled off by fish or a dashing against a rock or just plain decomposition. I did a little rough photoshopping of my own to illustrate that the image is likely real, but it’s not great mystery after all. It’s a dog. Poor thing. It really doesn’t take some scientific expert to see this.”

Weird-looking creature is discovered in Montauk, Long Island, which is apparently near a government animal testing facility called Plum Island. Is it real, or just some belated viral marketing scheme for The X-Files movie?
