I actually had no idea that India was still using the imperial system of measurement.

The USA, Liberia and Myamar are the only three countries left on the planet that have yet to adapt the metric system. Officially India is metric, just like the UK and Ireland, yet there are still some people insisting on using imperial.

Even in the U.S. it’s not an either/or issue. We’ve been using the metric system as the primary units of measure for science, medicine and many aspects of the military for generations. Even the US customary units (foot, pound, etc.) have been officially defined in terms of their metric counterparts since 1893.

Restored and remastered!

Turns out after decades of being lost, people forgot how damn annoying the sound effects in the series were

They found some marks in the snow. That’s clear. The rest is totally made up.

No DNA, no Yeti. Simple.

They found some Yeti hair, and analyzed the DNA. They’re bears. Apparently the locals know that they’re bears, and were surprised that all the outsiders didn’t get this.

Edit:
Update:
It was a bear.

According to the documentary Harry and the Hendersons, Bigfoot/Yeti eat their dead.
