These handsome Sasquatch and Yeti ornaments for the Christmas Tree are around 4.5" tall and made from glass and resin. They're available from Loren Coleman's International Cryptozoology Museum gift shop. Coming soon on BB, an interview with Coleman about the new public museum!We're delighted to offer an HP Envy 15 laptop, priced $1,800 and up in stores, to one talented reader.

Steorn, developers of free-energy gadget called Orbo, have managed to survive for six years without having successfully demonstrated the technology in public. It must be some kind of record. But yesterday, an Orbo was installed at the Waterways Ireland Visitor Centre, and you can see a live video s... More.
No-one's going to spend $495 on Joey Roth's Ceramic Speakers because of audiophile considerations, then start fretting about whether they look good enough next to the iMac. People are going to buy them because of the looks, and then worry about whether the audio quality lives up to the price tag. ... More.
Here's a conundrum: The African and European plates of the Earth's crust are no longer pushing into each other, but the Alps (created by the collision of those plates) are growing by about .05 in. per year. At first glance, those facts might make you question plate tectonics. But the real explanat... More.

Not that it's a holiday I observe, but the top-of-the-head hanging point bothers me.
Screw xmas ornaments. Make them into salt and pepper shakers.
The hanging point appears to be standard-issue Xmas bauble grade. Perhaps you were wanting something less seasonal?
Why is Sasquatch smiling more than Yeti?
At last I understand the difference between Bigfoot and a yeti. It's the paint.
He's warmer.
Cool idea, though Bigfoot is lookin' a little Dr. Cornelius-y.
Well, it is obvious that Bigfoot is smiling because the artists have painted them more correctly.
Yetis are reportedly described by eyewitnesses as reddish and darker browns, with each foot's hallux (their big toe) sticking out to the side, more like a pongid than a hominid. Bigfoot/Sasquatch feet are more like yours and mine, that is humanlike, like these models, but, of course, larger than the feet of Homo sapiens.
But for cultural reasons and because white ornaments tend to show better against the emerald background of evergreen trees, I think albino Yetis are here to stay.
Enjoy them.
Happy Holidays,

Perfect combo for the mini Bigfoot plaster casts ornaments from Bigfoot Surplus.
I want one with a Santa hat.
