My most-stolen image.

This is a local cryptid, sort of like Bigfoot but goatier. Supposedly he was a scientist who experimented on goats, and in an epic instance of karmic backlash somehow his experiments backfired and turned him into a half-goat monstrosity. Understandably unhappy with his situation in life, he's been killing pets and haunting lover's lanes in PG county since the late 70's.

Photoshop Elements, stock photos and a lot of free time.
This was done for the 'fake cryptid' contest over on io9.com. Didn't win, but that's OK, the winning chop was pretty darn cute.

Yep, I see it all over the place too - it only bugs me when people slap their own watermark on it. Can't do much about it, tho.

Not really. I live in Texas, one of the hottest states, and at 5 AM even in the dead of summer its usually in the 70s. 5 AM is the coolest time of day so it wouldn't make sense for it to be 87. :P
