Imho, one of the best and non-violent pranks ever pulled. Kudos to Mr. Signorini. https://eu.ocala.com/story/news/2006/07/23/clearwater-monster-alive-and-well-60-years-later/31165145007/

Obviously this is a cover story to hide the existence of real giant penguins

I overheard a planning commission talking about how unbelievably snuggly they are.

"June 1977. Teen revelers report massive bird footprints emerging from Lake Okeechobee...
An ornithologist deems the prints those of a gigantic penguin, some 15 feet in height.
People come from miles around to catch a glimpse of the wondrous waddler.
The tracks will appear on and off for years and then disappear forever, but not before Olympic gold medalist Mary Lou Retton makes the trek to place her tiny footprints inside those of the be-flippered colossus."

'be-flippered'.. you just know the author giggled

I'm sure you're right - but just for clarity's sake it's from an episode of Modern Family (based on the story above - Phil discovers his dad was the prankster after going through his stuff)

ahh thought it was a newspaper quote from 77

The hoax stayed unknown after several years passed until years later than years of the event happening years later.

How many years is that in dog years?

Penguin years would seem more relevant.

Gullible. Most people start out that way until you abuse them a bit.

I’m sure many people enjoyed the joke

People used to be pretty stupid.
They still are... but they used to be, too.

People are out in the pacific northwest performing bigfoot "mating calls" right now. Human intelligence is a flat line across our history.
