It may not necessarily be faked....

In the Buddhist Scriptures they mention about the time when the next buddha will be born ... the Buddha Meitreya.... and his height will be 88 Feet....whereas the average joe will be about 72 feet....and the average life-span will be 60,000 years.
In nature everything changes in cycles...and that includes the life-span of man and our physical size.
We are entering the Age of Sunni...where all morals are gone and people will kill each other just like animals. Eventually the average age will reach only ten years and at that time five year olds will be able to have children. After a week of mass-killing orgy, the few survivors will come out of their hiding places and eventually be able to meet and join together, deciding to keep the precepts and live morally again.
Their offspring will live to 20 years, and theirs to 30 years, theirs to 40 years and theirs to 50 years.....theirs to 100 years, then 1000 years ...increasing to 100,000 years.

And the physical size will increase too relatively.

Most likely the same reason you spend so much time "abstracting" snippets of physics into ridiculous claims that physics is wrong?

Surely you didn't have a look at Berg's reference link. And yes, I'll stop calling you Shirley.

no Shirley...I didn't.... but even if the pix are faked the concept is real enough to me

I want some of the shrooms that FF has.

Hi Raaaid,

don't listen to others. Your question is very valid and a good one.

Many cultures, if not all, make some sort of reference to giants in their folklore. But folklore isn't limited to giants. Giants are as real as fairys, trolls, goblins, ghosts, demons, witches, gods, and *dragons.

Dragons are a bit different from the rest in that it's quite possible the legends were based on dinosaur fossils.

I think the legends and myths surrounding giants are a bit like fish (the one that got away) stories with lots of time to develop. Stories of giants were orally passed on and no doubt the 6 1/2 foot original grew as the story was retold.

So far, there is no physical evidence to support the existence of fairy-tale giants.

But as to why people do it I can think of a few reasons;

1) to get attention

2) they believe and want others to believe

3) jokes and hoaxes

4) good story tellers

BTW Raaid, it is physically impossible.

Consider the ant. It can lift 30 times it's weight. A human can barely lift twice it's own. An elephant cannot lift twice it's own. There a physical law in nature. The larger a living creature gets, the less it can lift relative to its own weight.

Um, I'm pretty sure that has more to do with the body structure and what parts of the body are used to lift object, rather than the size. By your analogy, fruit flys should be able to lift 50 times their weight, and butterflys wouldn't be in so much danger just from people from touching them.

Funny that you brought this issue up.

While I worked at the airport, a colleague of mine kept coming up with conspiracy theories and strange biblical stories, one of the things he showed me was this.

I have a hard time believing it (especially as this info came from a guy that was trying to convince me that WW2 was a jewish conspiracy [be sure])

But isn't the second link an actual news report?

I used to believe in giants.........Then I just found out Tom Jones had a thing for socks......

K2

this reminded me of the story pirschjaeger told once about unususal men in china covered their bodies wih hair that would trade with no personal contact with locals

what if forbidden aerchaelogy has some truth?

why to make such a hoax as the indin news

it could be mistraslated but there are some ribs way too big even for a whale

what if we are being continually lied by the media

The only person lying to you is you.

If you read the info in Berg's post then you would know that it was part of a photo competition. Only a total moron, or someone who WANTS to lie to themselves would ask any questions after the 2 minutes it takes to see EVERYTHING necessary to debunk what you posted.

If you did NOT read his post, then I believe the same still holds. You claim you are looking for the truth but you are not really because you WANT to believe the lie. To accomplish this you simply ignore the truth

The same is true with the Bigfoot hoax that came about recently. One of the guys involved had ADMITTED TO HOAXES in the past yet many people still believed he was telling the truth this time. They want to believe so bad they lie to themselves.

If you did not read his link and the above is not true, then what was the real reason you didn't read it?

If you did read it, why is it so hard to see that it was simply a Photoshop competition that some dork decided to make into a fake news report?

--Outlaw.

i was talking on the indian news report

was it part of the photoshop contest?

you overlook things and its me who is not reading?

if we had been born 1000 years ago who would be saying earth is rounded and who that is flat

oh i can picture you so easy going agaisnt mainstream church daring to say earth is rounded

Media do lie, and more often they get things WRONG.

Not everyone who went against the Church was right, some said the Earth was round but others may have said it was not flat but rode on the back of turtles.
