Mystery Man On Rooftop Is Bigfoot?

I do not intend to make light of a national tragedy. I saw flags at half-mast at McDonald's today, a sober reminder of the events that occurred at the Boston Marathon yesterday. My heart goes out to the victims and family. But a day later and people are already posting about a Mystery Man on the rooftop during the tragedy.

The Internet age, along with everyone carrying digital camera technology and we now have conspiratory theorists and amateur detectives speculating on the mystery man? Was he one of the terrorists?

Maybe he is bigfoot? Could the terrorists be led by an organization of bigfoot warriers?

Could be.

Or could be maybe we should let the authorities do their jobs.

There was another recent example of this...the infamous victim's eye photograph in the Jodi Arias trial. Speculation is that a study of the victim's eye may reveal truths about his murder.

Or maybe we have all seen just too many episodes of CSI and Bones.

In other stories, I read recently where people are studying google satellite photos and seeing odd shapes. This includes jet planes in parking lots and other oddities.

As we get more and more advanced technologically, are we getting less and less realistic, less grounded with reality? Less street smart?

This reminds me of the Fritz Leiber fantasy story 'Rime Isle', where the two main characters (Fafhrd and The Grey Mouser) are both afflicted by 'gods' with curses. One is cursed with an obsession for the mundane and trivial. The other is cursed with an obsession with the far reaching and obscure. They must battle with their curses before they get their mojo back.

Perhaps, we need to battle these same curses. As technology savvy modern Americans, are we becoming too obsessed with the mundane and trivial, or too hooked on the obscure?

Cheers, nca.
