‘SKILFUL FRACTURES’

“These,” he explains, “are only

samples from one particular bone

of what has been proven now for

each of the big limb bones in the

antelope skeleton about their de-

liberate and skilful fractures by

the man-apes to provide tools for

cutting and digging, as well as “thuggery.”

The professor says that the man-apes invented the thug, or black-jack-type of technique the

better part of 1,000,000 years ago,

“and mayhem and murder have

had as long a lineage as man himself.”

“The man-apes,” he adds,

“were the inventors of the tools

and the techniques which produced them and which sapient man was still using 16,000 years

ago, not more than 70 miles away. “Man most certainly originated from a creature with no more brains than an ape. “We have reached the stage prophesied by Darwin that in ‘a series of forms leading insensibly from ape to men the use of the term “man” would depend on the definition we used. “If man is defined as a creature who made tools deliberately, then these creatures were men, If he is defined as a creature with brain larger than that of a

gorilla, then these creatures, who had already invented the osteo-dontokeratic culture which man-kind inherited, and was still using a few thousand years ago, were only apes.”

Is bigfoot man or ape? Are we ape or man?

Howard and I walked this park this morning around seven am this morning. We were trying to beat the heat. It was pretty busy already. He got to meet a beautiful little female chihuahua Lilian, who hung out with us for a bit.

I love everything about this park. The people, the beautiful river, and my favorite part the old mill looming over the river.

Blackstone Valley was the birthplace of the American Industrial Revolution and seeing these old mills makes me picture how hard the life must have been for the workers. I wonder if they found any joy looking at the river as I do. I hope so…

Here’s a few pics from our visit and a little info about where we where today from the Rhode Island parks department.

As I promised, here is the info. I heard this story at work. I never hide my interest in cryptozoology at places I have worked at, and it has lead me to getting some reports of various cryptids.

The woman who told me this used to live near Oroville, California and had two stories. First, In the early 80’s, when she was in her late teens, she was out looking for her brother who had gotten into a fight with her dad, and run off in the woods. Their old farmhouse was up in the hills to the east of Oroville near Lake Oroville. It had snowed the day before, so it was easy to track him. As she was looking for him, she came across a trackway that was freshly made in the snow. The footprints were about a foot and a half in length, and had five clear toes and a big stride.

The second story took place about 15 years later. She was living at the same farm house with her daughter, who was about 10 years old. She came back into the house saying that there was monster in the yard getting into the trash can. They had set the trash out for pick up. The woman went outside and saw an 8-9 foot tall creature grab the trash can and tuck it under one arm and run upright into the woods. It ran diagnally across their road and covered the distance in 3-4 strides. She told me that she always told people it was a bear that she had saw to avoid being made fun of, but she knew that it wasn’t a bear.
