Some time back a guy came forward and said that years ago he and some chums got dressed-up in a home made costume and took some pictures.  They also made some fakey footprints in the forest and there ya have it!  The Bigfoot Legend was born!  While the general public was thrilled and terrified for years, scientists everywhere scoffed.

Another some time ago, some blokes went public with details about how they built a couple humps, a long neck-looking-thing and sailed it around a lake in Scotland.  Several people witnessed it and got photos.  Bingo!  The Loch Ness Monster Legend was born!  While the general public was thrilled and terrified for years, scientists everywhere scoffed.

A while back some scientists were classifying dinosaur fossils and named one species Brontosaurus.  It being such a gigantic beast helped it become one of the most widely recognized dinosaurs in all the land.  While the general public was thrilled for years, some scientists scoffed.

Since its discovery nearly one hundred years ago, Pluto was considered the 9th planet in our solar system.  Every school child in America and the rest of the world had the question on a test at least once in their scholastic careers:  What's the Ninth Planet in our Solar System? The general public generally loved the little planet.  A while back some scientists scoffed.

And while it sucks to be true, the scoffing scientists were right:

Bigfoot was a fake.
The Loch Ness Monster was a fake.
Brontosaurus was a misidentified Apatosaurus.
Pluto is a "Dwarf Planet."

Ya gotta have science on yr side, even if it fucks over yr once-favorite things.
