Awesome or Off-Putting: Don’t Worry, A Woolly Mammoth Survived (With Video)

August 7th, 2012 By Shawn Lindseth

Awesome or Off-Putting is a weekly delve into cryptozoology, ufology, aliens, medical marvels, scientific wonders, secret societies, government conspiracies, cults, ghosts, EVPs, ancient artifacts, strange facts, odd sightings or just the plain unexplainable.

Several thousand years ago the last woolly mammoth was murdered by a pack or saber tooth tigers 1000 strong. Don’t feel too bad for the hairy elephant, though, because his death lives on in a super-awesome CSI episode. It was in season 2 we think. Grissom was sent back in time when he touched a magic sperm tester.

The fate of the entire Woolly Mammoth species is eclipsed only by the extinction of the dodo bird. Until now, that is. Because it ends up all woolly mammoths aren’t dead after all. Some guy in Siberia just captured one on camera.

See for yourself, sucka.

Awesome or Off-Putting: Malaysia’s Diabolical Oily Men

August 7th, 2012 By Shawn Lindseth

You’re familiar with first world problems, right? Running out of mustard, the laundry room is all the way down in the basement or the DVR cut off the first 15 seconds of a Buffy the Vampire Slayer. These are first world problems.

Third world problems, on the other hand, are things like two oily men with the magical powers of a witch going around trying desperately to rape all the virgins in your village.

That, reportedly, is something a district in Malaysia is currently dealing with.

Awesome or Off-Putting: Chinese Beach Gets A Dead Monster

June 26th, 2011 By Shawn Lindseth

China’s got a lot more going on right now than just intentionally terrifying the west and probably killing foreign dissidents. Yes sir, most people thought they were a one trick pony – but that was only until the Kraken washed up on their commie-ravaged shores.

You don’t believe us? Well then look at the picture right there and you tell us what it is.

Awesome or Off-Putting: The Beast of the Land Between the Lakes

July 19th, 2010 By Shawn Lindseth

That’s a pretty long name for a monster, isn’t it? We prefer something like ‘Nessie’ as it’s two short syllables that really get out of your mouth quickly – but that’s a different kind of monster all together.

You see, The Beast of the Land Between the Lakes, or The Beast of LBL for short, is like a giant wolfman that’s been terrifying people in the area for quite a long time. Nobody’s quite sure what it is – but there are theories…

Awesome or Off-Putting: The Brosno Dragon

November 23rd, 2009 By Shawn Lindseth

The world of the paranormal can sometimes seem to be stuffed with mundane monsters. Anytime Bigfoot sees a camera he high steps it out of range. And Nessie – she’ll occasionally allow her floating-log looking hump to be photographed from a distance, but she’s far too shy for a close up.

Not so for the Brosno Dragon! It’s best known for eating Mongol armies and swallowing Nazi warplanes.
