Website Validity
Pacific Tree Octopus Site: INVALID. http://zapatopi.net/treeoctopus/faq.html
Reasons: One, there is no such THING as a tree octopus. They can't exist, since octopi need water to survive! Plus, one of the pictures distinctly features a stuffed animal perched in a tree. See the picture below...
Also, there is a quote from the site that reads "Sasquatch have been gathering Tree Octopuses since before Humans settled in their habitats. They form a symbiotic relationship. We value our limbs and don't question this." References to mythical creatures don't really add to their validity.
Scorcher Movie Site: INVALID. http://www.scorchermovie.com/
Reasons: If the movie was out in winter of 2008, we would be hearing a lot about it right now. Also, I looked it up online, and there wasn't a single reference to a movie. When I tried to click on the trailer, it didn't exist. Odd... there weren't really any pictures, but i tried to bring the trailer. No results. :(
Zombie Site: INVALID. http://www.archaeology.org/online/features/hierakonpolis/zombies.html
Reasons: Well, for one, I was skimming the text and found this. "This could make sense if the palette refers to a victory over zombie forces. Perhaps Narmer wielded a large Nile catfish, Clarias?, grasping the tail and using it as a sort of black jack to stun the zombies, then removed their heads with a chisel. It is an attractive idea. " Anything that discusses zombie victories has to be looked at twice... Plus, if the site wanted to be taken seriously, they probably wouldn't put in pictures like this.
