User:Drek'TharSuperSword/The Weirdest Sandbox Ever v2.0

I usually got bored with forums and mainspace editing, so I play with this! This can't be counted as spam and/or vandalism as this is a sandbox to train me how to use headings, templates and polls correctly in source mode. No one should edit this as this is a vandalism target, even this article will be semi-protected.

If this sandbox is EXTREMELY full, I will remove the unnecessary things and archive it in my Sandbox Archives Word Document in my computer and if necessary, make it PDF file.

Warning: Don't try to edit this if you are new user that has less than 10 edits and below 4 days here...

I actually hoping that this page is semi-protected because this is an obvious vandalism target... also I will minimize my edits to this one.

WARNING: DO NOT MODIFY THIS SANDBOX UNLESS YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION. THIS BECAUSE SOME PPL THAT EDITS THIS SANDBOX TO MAKE THIS WORSE (see this page's history)! IF YOU EDIT WITHOUT PERMISSION, IT WILL BE UNDONE BY ME OR THE OTHERS!

Also, there are also sections that I prohibit you to modify (except for those who are in the below list), marked with "DO NOT MODIFY THE SECTION" or anything else that has at the end. "End of do not modify... below" is the end of the "prohibited to modify" sections.

13 / 0 = You can't divide by zero! The answer is undefined!

The max amount of Roman digit is 3999 (aka MMMCMXCIX)

Triskaidekaphobia... fear of number 13. Weird. Bladetron v2.0's arena champion position is also 13! LOL!

1+9+239+382+392+392-32-13*0 = 0! Any number if multiplied by zero the answer is zero!

13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 13 !!! This is to scare people that has a triskaidekaphobia!

Is it true that most of USA buildings' elevator don't have 13th floor?

Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia = Fear of number 666 or 616. SO I ADD 666 AND 616 HERE!!! TO SCARE THEM!!!

666 616 616 616 666 666 666 666 666 666 666

That one is long,27 but this one is longer! Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis = 46 letter!

Tetraphobia = Fear of number 4. In China, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Korea and Vietnam etc. as well as in many other East-Asian and some Southeast-Asian countries, it is not uncommon for buildings (including offices, apartments, hotels) to lack floors with numbers that include the digit 4, and Finnish mobile phone manufacturer Nokia's 1xxx-9xxx series of mobile phones does not include any model numbers beginning with a 4. This originates in Chinese, where the pronunciation of the word for "four" (四, sì in Mandarin) is very similar to that of the word for "death" (死, sǐ in Mandarin), and remains such in the other countries' Sino-Xenic vocabulary.

That was close. Thankfully Indonesian peoples aren't fear of number 4. YES!!!

For those who have a tetraphobia I bring you the number 4!

4+4+4+4+4=???? 4 4 4 4 4 4

Letter D is the 4th letter!LOL OVER 4000 EDITS STARTS WITH NUMBER 4!!!

Also in my older sandbox, I include the poll with a lot of number 4!

MY FAVORITE NUMBER IS 6 AND 4! YES NUMBER 4! 6=THE YETI PROJECT'S ARENA CHAMPION POSITION AND 4 IS IV (COMBINE IT WITH XX SO IT WILL BECOME XXIV! ULTRATUS OMEGA'S ARENA CHAMPION POSITION!)

17 is an unlucky number in Italy, probably because in Roman digits 17 is written XVII, that could be rearranged to "VIXI", which in Latin means "I have lived" but can be a euphemism for "I am dead."[8] Cesana Pariol, the bobsleigh, luge and skeleton track used for the 2006 Winter Olympics, had turn 17 originally named "Senza Nome" ("without name" in Italian, but the turn was renamed in 2007 in honor of luger Paul Hildgartner).

AUGUST THE 17TH 1945 IS INDONESIA'S INDEPENDENCE DAY!! YES 17 17 17 17 17!!!!!!

ARENA CHAMPION 17: PLATOS!!!! ARENA CHAMPION XVII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

or this one needs to be demonstrated: ARENA CHAMPION VIXI!!!! LOL I AM DEAD!!! THE ZOMBIES ARE COMING!!! BRAINS... I AM UNDEAD!!!! ROFL LOL ROFL LOL LMAO :D XD!!!

'CTRL + ALT + DELETE' -Bluescreen Death

This actually opens Task Manager in Windows (any version from Windows 95 to Windows 8). Simply hold Ctrl, Alt and Delete (or Del) and it will pop up for you.

This tool can be used to end process, create a new process, view your PC performance, view your network speed, etc.

Oh yeah, my modem is fast now ;) VERY good 4 downloading becuse my old one usually only gets 10-150 kbps but this one does 2 times faster: Up to 300 kbps! And sometimes it will go to 400-500 kbps!!! A.W.E.S.O.M.E!

But it goes slower for surfing the web :( Sometimes got 504 Gateway Timeout error. Nevertheless, it will go faster too in certain times and place but very rare.

Why do I buy a new modem? Because my old modem was broken (dunno why but exactly I keep punching it many times and eventually it's broken.)

My new modem is Huawei modem (from India) but the card is local card, XL (it is actually from Malaysia, called Axiata). Old one is Smartfren. the modem is thin, so it overheats EXTREMELY quickly. Note that the thicker the modem, the lesser risk of that modem overheats.

I must take care of this modem, because I can become poor if I keep wasting bucks just to buy a new modem. Although it is not too expensive, I need to save some money to buy a new PC and new PS Vita (cuz my old PS Vita got broken after I accidentally dropped it. What a waste of money).

Oh yeah! My laptop was broken few weeks ago because the power button stuck inside the laptop. It has been fixed, the reason it broke because something that hold the power button was broken.

My laptop is 6 years old and I must take care of it or else it'll broken. I dont wanna use my old PC because it's WAY too laggy.

Oh yes, to continue the sandbox!

dream related story
This is based from my dream. Will be written soon in PvZ fan fiction wiki in different way.

Story: Corrupted laptop data

I am playing SS3 to defeat the yeti project and I defeat it and win, then there's a message saying what's new in this version. there is a new arena champion mode (though I must fight the first arena champion first in that mode) its graphic is like drawn in a book. the graphical user interface is same. then a utility tool suddenly pops up and detected many registry errors and VIRUSES. I click the remove all button but AFTER seeing that the virus is so many that possibly my files, I quickly remove the battery and placing it again, then when it starts again I'm surprised that ALL the data is CORRUPT!

relgof
fog ler???????????????

what is the meaning of the dolphin sound from spongebob?
That means it is a swear word like those censored words. To prevent it from being revealed (because A LOT of kids watch it) they "censored" it with that sound. Kinda funny.

Why do you sometimes inactive, drek?
This because my bandwidth (or something related to it) reaches zero and I cant browse this wiki. Annoying thing in my life.

Do you abouse power?
Obviously, no. I NEVER abuse powers because those staff features are interesting and cool.

Did you see ikca 2013 in global tv?
No, but I'm interested with that FUNNY PICTURES CONTEST ad because the prize is 5 ticket to watch Coboy Junior, 3 iPad 3, and 2 PSP! It is psp slim (psp 2000) (I know that is a little bit retarded because I have PSP Brite (PSP 3000))

Do you like GTA?
NO NO NO NO. That's too violent and SO MANY mature contents.

What's your opinion about EA?
They sucks. GO F*** YOURSELF EA! I SWEAR TO YOU THAT YOU'LL BE BANKRUPT SOON! I PROMISE THAT WILL HAPPEN! F*** YOU EA! PRINCESS KITTY AND OTHER PEOPLE HERE ALSO HATES EA!!!!! EA = ELECTRONIC A**HOLE!!!!!!

GO TO HELL EA!! THAT'S YOUR APPROPRIATE PLACE!!! GEORGE FAN GOT FIRED BECAUSE OF YOU FIRED HIM!! PVZ2IAT NOW GOES ONLY ON IOS AND ANDROID EVEN I WANT IT ON PC TOO BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE TOUCHSCREEN!!! THE YETI PROJECT FROM SS3, SMASH THEM WITH YOUR YETI CLUB TO MAKE EA DIE AND I WILL HAVE A PARTY TO CELEBRATE THE BANKRUPT OF EA!!!

I REALLY WISH THAT EA WILL NEVER APPEAR FROM LONG TIME AGO!!!

So,if they bankrupts, what you wish to happen?
Popcap is no longer trademark of EA and any ea products are closed.

What do you want in PvZA?
I wish there's a Give gem feature so I can exploit gems with sockpuppets!

A lot of EA acronyms?
If you ask me, these are EA acronyms (those are bad words) (Sorry if this sandbox gets annnoying because these are to prove that I hate EA)
 * Electronic A**es
 * Electronic A**holes
 * Extra A**es
 * Extra A**holes

Poll: Do you hate EA?
Do you hate EA? Yes No I choose yes obviously.

Once again, I'm really sorry for all those angry emotions. These are to prove that I'm really angry of EA fired George Fan and anything related to negative events to PvZ.

Yeti From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Abominable Snowman" redirects here. For other uses, see Abominable Snowman (disambiguation). For other uses of Yeti, see Yeti (disambiguation). Yeti (Abominable Snowman Migoi, Meh-teh et al.)

Purported Yeti scalp at Khumjung monastery Creature Grouping	Cryptid Sub grouping	Homin, Hominid Data Country	Nepal, Bhutan,[1] China, India, Mongolia Region	Himalayas Habitat	Mountains The Yeti or Abominable Snowman is said to be an ape-like cryptid taller than an average human, similar to Bigfoot, that inhabits the Himalayan region of Nepal, and Tibet.[2][3] The names Yeti and Meh-Teh are commonly used by the people indigenous to the region,[4] and are part of their history and mythology. Stories of the Yeti first emerged as a facet of Western popular culture in the 19th century. The scientific community generally regards the Yeti as a legend, given the lack of conclusive evidence,[5] but it remains one of the most famous creatures of cryptozoology. The Yeti may be considered a sort of parallel myth to the Bigfoot of North America.

This article contains Tibetan script. Without proper rendering support, you may see question marks, boxes, or other symbols instead of Tibetan characters. The word Yeti is derived from Tibetan: གཡའ་དྲེད་, Wylie: g.ya' dred, ZYPY: Yachê), a compound of the words Tibetan: གཡའ་, Wylie: g.ya', ZYPY: ya "rocky", "rocky place" and (Tibetan: དྲེད་, Wylie: dred, ZYPY: chê) "bear".[6][7][8][9][10] Pranavananda[6] states that the words "ti", "te" and "teh" are derived from the spoken word 'tre' (spelled "dred"), Tibetan for bear, with the 'r' so softly pronounced as to be almost inaudible, thus making it "te" or "teh".[6][10][11] Other terms used by Himalayan peoples do not translate exactly the same, but refer to legendary and indigenous wildlife: Michê (Tibetan: མི་དྲེད་, Wylie: mi dred, ZYPY: Michê) translates as "man-bear".[8][10][12] Dzu-teh – 'dzu' translates as "cattle" and the full meaning translates as "cattle bear", referring to the Himalayan brown bear.[7][10][11][13][14] Migoi or Mi-go (Tibetan: མི་རྒོད་, Wylie: mi rgod, ZYPY: Migö/Mirgö) translates as "wild man".[11][14] Bun Manchi - Nepali for "jungle man" that is used outside Sherpa communities where yeti is the common name.[15] Mirka – another name for "wild-man". Local legend holds that "anyone who sees one dies or is killed". The latter is taken from a written statement by Frank Smythe's sherpas in 1937.[16] Kang Admi – "Snow Man".[14] The "Abominable Snowman" The appellation "Abominable Snowman" was coined in 1921, the same year Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Howard-Bury led the joint Alpine Club and Royal Geographical Society "Everest Reconnaissance Expedition"[17][18] which he chronicled in Mount Everest The Reconnaissance, 1921.[19] In the book, Howard-Bury includes an account of crossing the "Lhakpa-la" at 21,000 ft (6,400 m) where he found footprints that he believed "were probably caused by a large 'loping' grey wolf, which in the soft snow formed double tracks rather like a those of a bare-footed man". He adds that his Sherpa guides "at once volunteered that the tracks must be that of 'The Wild Man of the Snows', to which they gave the name 'metoh-kangmi'".[19] "Metoh" translates as "man-bear" and "Kang-mi" translates as "snowman".[6][8][14][20] Confusion exists between Howard-Bury's recitation of the term "metoh-kangmi"[17][19] and the term used in Bill Tilman's book Mount Everest, 1938[21] where Tilman had used the words "metch", which does not exist in the Tibetan language,[22] and "kangmi" when relating the coining of the term "Abominable Snowman".[8][14][21][23] Further evidence of "metch" being a misnomer is provided by Tibetan language authority Professor David Snellgrove from the School of Oriental and African Studies at the University of London (ca. 1956), who dismissed the word "metch" as impossible, because the consonants "t-c-h" cannot be conjoined in the Tibetan language."[22] Documentation suggests that the term "metch-kangmi" is derived from one source (from the year 1921).[21] It has been suggested that "metch" is simply a misspelling of "metoh". The use of "Abominable Snowman" began when Henry Newman, a longtime contributor to The Statesman in Calcutta, writing under the pen name "Kim",[9] interviewed the porters of the "Everest Reconnaissance expedition" on their return to Darjeeling.[21][24][25][26] Newman mistranslated the word "metoh" as "filthy", substituting the term "abominable", perhaps out of artistic license.[27] As author Bill Tilman recounts, "[Newman] wrote long after in a letter to The Times: The whole story seemed such a joyous creation I sent it to one or two newspapers'".[21] History

Pre-19th century According to H. Siiger, the Yeti was a part of the pre-Buddhist beliefs of several Himalayan people. He was told that the Lepcha people worshipped a "Glacier Being" as a God of the Hunt. He also reported that followers of the Bön religion once believed the blood of the "mi rgod" or "wild man" had use in certain mystical ceremonies. The being was depicted as an apelike creature who carries a large stone as a weapon and makes a whistling swoosh sound.[28] 19th century In 1832, James Prinsep's Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal published trekker B. H. Hodgson's account of his experiences in northern Nepal. His local guides spotted a tall, bipedal creature covered with long dark hair, which seemed to flee in fear. Hodgson concluded it was an orangutan. An early record of reported footprints appeared in 1899 in Laurence Waddell's Among the Himalayas.[29] Waddell reported his guide's description of a large apelike creature that left the prints, which Waddell thought were made by a bear. Waddell heard stories of bipedal, apelike creatures but wrote that "none, however, of the many Tibetans I have interrogated on this subject could ever give me an authentic case. On the most superficial investigation it always resolved into something that somebody heard tell of."[30] 20th century The frequency of reports increased during the early 20th century, when Westerners began making determined attempts to scale the many mountains in the area and occasionally reported seeing odd creatures or strange tracks. In 1925, N. A. Tombazi, a photographer and member of the Royal Geographical Society, writes that he saw a creature at about 15,000 ft (4,600 m) near Zemu Glacier. Tombazi later wrote that he observed the creature from about 200 to 300 yd (180 to 270 m), for about a minute. "Unquestionably, the figure in outline was exactly like a human being, walking upright and stopping occasionally to pull at some dwarf rhododendron bushes. It showed up dark against the snow, and as far as I could make out, wore no clothes." About two hours later, Tombazi and his companions descended the mountain and saw the creature's prints, described as "similar in shape to those of a man, but only six to seven inches long by four inches wide[31]... The prints were undoubtedly those of a biped."[32] Western interest in the Yeti peaked dramatically in the 1950s. While attempting to scale Mount Everest in 1951, Eric Shipton took photographs of a number of large prints in the snow, at about 6,000 m (20,000 ft) above sea level. These photos have been subject to intense scrutiny and debate. Some argue they are the best evidence of Yeti's existence, while others contend the prints are those of a mundane creature that have been distorted by the melting snow.[33] Peter Byrne reported finding a yeti footprint in 1948, in northern Sikkim, India near the Zemu Glacier, while on holiday from a Royal Air Force assignment in India.[3] In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reported seeing large footprints while scaling Mount Everest. Hillary would later discount Yeti reports as unreliable. In his first autobiography Tenzing said that he believed the Yeti was a large ape, and although he had never seen it himself his father had seen one twice, but in his second autobiography he said he had become much more skeptical about its existence.[34] During the Daily Mail Snowman Expedition of 1954,[35] the mountaineering leader John Angelo Jackson made the first trek from Everest to Kanchenjunga in the course of which he photographed symbolic paintings of the Yeti at Tengboche gompa.[36] Jackson tracked and photographed many footprints in the snow, most of which were identifiable. However, there were many large footprints which could not be identified. These flattened footprint-like indentations were attributed to erosion and subsequent widening of the original footprint by wind and particles.

Dr. Biswamoy Biswas examining the Pangboche Yeti scalp during the Daily Mail Snowman Expedition of 1954 On 19 March 1954, the Daily Mail printed an article which described expedition teams obtaining hair specimens from what was alleged to be a Yeti scalp found in the Pangboche monastery. The hairs were black to dark brown in colour in dim light, and fox red in sunlight. The hair was analysed by Professor Frederic Wood Jones,[37][38] an expert in human and comparative anatomy. During the study, the hairs were bleached, cut into sections and analysed microscopically. The research consisted of taking microphotographs of the hairs and comparing them with hairs from known animals such as bears and orangutans. Jones concluded that the hairs were not actually from a scalp. He contended that while some animals do have a ridge of hair extending from the pate to the back, no animals have a ridge (as in the Pangboche "scalp") running from the base of the forehead across the pate and ending at the nape of the neck. Jones was unable to pinpoint exactly the animal from which the Pangboche hairs were taken. He was, however, convinced that the hairs were not of a bear or anthropoid ape. He suggested that the hairs were from the shoulder of a coarse-haired hoofed animal.[39] Sławomir Rawicz claimed in his book The Long Walk, published in 1956, that as he and some others were crossing the Himalayas in the winter of 1940, their path was blocked for hours by two bipedal animals that were doing seemingly nothing but shuffling around in the snow. Beginning in 1957, wealthy American oilman Tom Slick funded a few missions to investigate Yeti reports. In 1959, supposed Yeti feces were collected by one of Slick's expeditions; fecal analysis found a parasite which could not be classified. Cryptozoologist Bernard Heuvelmans wrote, "Since each animal has its own parasites, this indicated that the host animal is equally an unknown animal."[40][41] The United States government thought that finding the Yeti was likely enough to create three rules for American expeditions searching for it: obtain a Nepalese permit, do not harm the Yeti except in self-defense, and let the Nepalese government approve any news reporting on the animal's discovery.[42] In 1959, actor James Stewart, while visiting India, reportedly smuggled remains of a supposed Yeti, the so-called Pangboche Hand, by concealing it in his luggage when he flew from India to London.[43] In 1960, Hillary mounted an expedition to collect and analyze physical evidence of the Yeti. He sent a supposed Yeti "scalp" from the Khumjung monastery to the West for testing, whose results indicated the scalp was manufactured from the skin of a serow, a goat-like Himalayan antelope. Up to the 1960s, belief in the yeti was relatively common in Bhutan and in 1966 a Bhutanese stamp was made to honor the creature.[44] However, in the twenty-first century belief in the being has declined.[45] In 1970, British mountaineer Don Whillans claimed to have witnessed a creature when scaling Annapurna.[46] According to Whillans, while scouting for a campsite, he heard some odd cries which his Sherpa guide attributed to a Yeti's call. That night, he saw a dark shape moving near his camp. The next day, he observed a few human-like footprints in the snow, and that evening, viewed with binoculars a bipedal, ape-like creature for 20 minutes as it apparently searched for food not far from his camp.[citation needed] In 1983, Himalayan conservationist Daniel C. Taylor and Himalayan natural historian Robert L. Fleming Jr. led a yeti expedition into Nepal’s Barun Valley (suggested by discovery in the Barun in 1972 of footprints alleged to be yeti by Cronin & McNeely [47]). The Taylor-Fleming expedition also discovered similar yeti-like footprints (hominoid appearing with both a hallux and bipedal gait), intriguing large nests in trees, and vivid reports from local villagers of two bears, rukh balu ('tree bear', small, reclusive, weighing about 150 pounds) and bhui balu ('ground bear,' aggressive, weighing up to 400 pounds). Further interviews across Nepal gave evidence of local belief in two different bears. Skulls were collected, these were compared to known skulls at the Smithsonian Institution, American Museum of Natural History, and British Museum, and confirmed identification of a single species, the Asiatic Black Bear, showing no morphological difference between 'tree bear' and 'ground bear.' [48] (This despite an intriguing skull in the British Museum of a 'tree bear' collected in 1869 by Oldham and discussed in the Annals of the Royal Zoological Society .). There is a famous Yeti hoax, known as the Snow Walker Film. The footage was created for Paramount's UPN show, Paranormal Borderland, ostensibly by the show's producers. The show ran from 12 March to 6 August 1996. Fox purchased and used the footage in their later program on The World's Greatest Hoaxes.[49] 21st century In 2004, Henry Gee, editor of the journal Nature, mentioned the Yeti as an example of a legend deserving further study, writing, "The discovery that Homo floresiensis survived until so very recently, in geological terms, makes it more likely that stories of other mythical, human-like creatures such as Yetis are founded on grains of truth ... Now, cryptozoology, the study of such fabulous creatures, can come in from the cold."[50] The Yeti is said to have been spotted in the remote Mae Charim area of the Luang Prabang Range range, between the Thai highlands and Sainyabuli Province, Laos.[51] In early December 2007, American television presenter Joshua Gates and his team (Destination Truth) reported finding a series of footprints in the Everest region of Nepal resembling descriptions of Yeti.[52] Each of the footprints measured 33 cm (13 in) in length with five toes that measured a total of 25 cm (9.8 in) across. Casts were made of the prints for further research. The footprints were examined by Jeffrey Meldrum of Idaho State University, who believed them to be too morphologically accurate to be fake or man made, before changing his mind after making further investigations.[53] Later in 2009, Gates made another investigation during which he discovered hair samples. A forensic analyst concluded that the hair contained an unknown DNA sequence.[54] On 25 July 2008, the BBC reported that hairs collected in the remote Garo Hills area of North-East India by Dipu Marak had been analyzed at Oxford Brookes University in the UK by primatologist Anna Nekaris and microscopy expert Jon Wells. These initial tests were inconclusive, and ape conservation expert Ian Redmond told the BBC that there was similarity between the cuticle pattern of these hairs and specimens collected by Edmund Hillary during Himalayan expeditions in the 1950s and donated to the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, and announced planned DNA analysis.[55] This analysis has since revealed that the hair came from the Himalayan Goral.[56] On 20 October 2008 a team of seven Japanese adventurers photographed footprints which could allegedly have been made by a Yeti. The team's leader, Yoshiteru Takahashi claims to have observed a Yeti on a 2003 expedition and is determined to capture the creature on film. A group of Chinese scientists and explorers in 2010 proposed to renew searches in Shennongjia province, which was the site of expeditions in the 1970s and 1980s.[57] At a 2011 conference in Russia, participating scientists and enthusiasts declared having "95% evidence" of the Yeti's existence.[58] However, this claim was disputed later; American anthropologist and anatomist Jeffrey Meldrum, who was present during the Russian expedition, claimed the "evidence" found was simply an attempt by local officials to drum up publicity.[59] A yeti was reportedly captured in Russia in December 2011.[60] A hunter reported having seen a bear like creature, trying to kill one of his sheep, but after he fired his gun, the creature ran into a forest on 2 legs. Border patrol soldiers then captured a hairy 2-legged female creature that ate meat and vegetation. The creature allegedly was more similar to a gorilla than a bear, but its arms were shorter than the legs (in contrast to a gorilla). It was about 2 meters (6 feet 7 inches) tall. This was later revealed as a hoax, or possibly a publicity stunt for charity.[61] Possible explanations

Misidentification of Himalayan wildlife has been proposed as an explanation for some Yeti sightings, including the Chu-Teh, a Langur monkey[62] living at lower altitudes, the Tibetan blue bear, the Himalayan brown bear or Dzu-Teh, also known as the Himalayan red bear.[62] Some have also suggested the Yeti could actually be a human hermit. A well publicized expedition to Bhutan reported that a hair sample had been obtained which by DNA analysis by Professor Bryan Sykes could not be matched to any known animal.[63] Analysis completed after the media release, however, clearly showed the samples were from a Brown bear (Ursus arctos) and an Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus).[64] In 1986, South Tyrolean mountaineer Reinhold Messner claimed to have a face-to-face encounter with a Yeti. He wrote a book, My Quest for the Yeti, and claims to have killed one. According to Messner, the Yeti is actually the endangered Himalayan brown bear, Ursus arctos isabellinus, which can walk both upright or on all fours.[65] The 1983 Barun Valley discoveries prompted three years of research on the 'tree bear' possibility by Taylor, Fleming, John Craighead and Tirtha Shrestha. From that research the conclusion was that the Asiatic Black Bear, when about two years old, spends much time in trees to avoid attack by larger male bears on the ground ('ground bears'). During this tree period that may last two years, young bears train their inner claw outward, allowing an opposable grip. The imprint in the snow of a hind paw coming over the front paw that appears to have a hallux, especially when the bear is going slightly uphill so the hind paw print extends the overprint backward makes a hominoid-appearing track, both in that it is elongated like a human foot but with a “thumb” and in that a four-footed animal’s gait now appears bipedal.[66] This “yeti discovery”, in the words of National Geographic Magazine editor Bill Garrett, “[by] on-site research sweeps away much of the ‘smoke and mirrors’ and gives us a believable yeti”.[67] This fieldwork in Nepal’s Barun Valley led directly to initiating in 1984 Makalu-Barun National Park that protected over half a million acres in 1991, and across the border with China the Qomolangma national nature preserve in the Tibet Autonomous Region that protected over six million acres. In the words of Honorary President of the American Alpine Club, Robert H. Bates, this yeti discovery “has apparently solved the mystery of the yeti, or at least part of it, and in so doing added to the world’s great wildlife preserves” [68] such that the shy animal that lives in trees (and not the high snows), and mysteries and myths of the Himalaya that it represents, can continue within a protected area nearly the size of Switzerland. In 2003, Japanese researcher and mountaineer Dr. Makoto Nebuka published the results of his twelve-year linguistic study, postulating that the word "Yeti" is a corruption of the word "meti", a regional dialect term for a "bear". Nebuka claims that ethnic Tibetans fear and worship the bear as a supernatural being.[69] Nebuka's claims were subject to almost immediate criticism, and he was accused of linguistic carelessness. Dr. Raj Kumar Pandey, who has researched both Yetis and mountain languages, said "it is not enough to blame tales of the mysterious beast of the Himalayas on words that rhyme but mean different things."[70] Some speculate these reported creatures could be present-day specimens of the extinct giant ape Gigantopithecus.[71][72][73][74] However, the Yeti is generally described as bipedal, and most scientists believe Gigantopithecus to have been quadrupedal, and so massive that, unless it evolved specifically as a bipedal ape (like Oreopithecus and the hominids), walking upright would have been even more difficult for the now extinct primate than it is for its extant quadrupedal relative, the orangutan. In popular culture

The Yeti has regularly been depicted in movies, literature, music, and video games. Art

An illustration of a Yeti. Artist Stanisław Szukalski's works all involve the Yeti; this involved painting, sculpture, and 2 books full of his artistic works: Inner Portraits (1980) and A Trough Full of Pearls / Behold! The Protong (1982). Szukalski also developed a philosophy known as Zermatism in which the Yeti play a central role, along with the Sons of Yeti ("Yetinsyny"), the half-breed offspring of Yetis and humans. Film Significant film appearances include The Snow Creature (1954), Half Human (1955), The Abominable Snowman (1957), One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing (1975), Yeti – il gigante del 20. secolo (1977), Snowbeast (1977), Monsters, Inc.

In The Cabin in the Woods, the Yeti name is used for an ape-like beast that is also referred to as a Sasquatch and a Wendigo. Television The Yeti plays significant roles in some television shows, including: The annual American Christmas broadcast special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. In various Looney Tunes cartoons, Hugo the Abominable Snowman is a Yeti. In the Robbie the Reindeer television specials, the character Des Yeti (voiced by Dick Enberg) is a Yeti A yeti appeared in a Spider-Man story from The Electric Company. In the Scooby Doo, Where Are You! episode "That's Snow Ghost," the Snow Ghost is a Yeti-like creature. A Yeti appeared in the DuckTales episode "Lost Crown of Genghis Khan" as the Abominable Snow Monster. The Yeti also appeared in Lost Tapes episode "Yeti," wherein it kills a billionaire explorer on Everest, whose remains, along with the Yeti, are discovered and brought to a government center to be publicly revealed as a new creature, but events ensure it is taken to a research facility instead. A Yeti appeared in Episode 25 of Jonny Quest. A robotic Yeti in "The Abominable Snowmen", a six-part serial from 1967 in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who (they returned in "The Web of Fear, "The Five Doctors", and "Downtime") In Power Rangers Operation Overdrive, the character Norg is a Yeti. In the second season Sabrina, the Teenage Witch episode, "My Nightmare, the Car," two characters are separately stranded in remote locations and spot what they think may be a yeti. In The Secret Saturdays, the character V.V. Argost is revealed to be a Yeti in the final season. In Ugly Americans, Yetis are among the creatures living in New York. In season 2 of Destination Truth, Josh Gates and his team went to Mount Everest in Nepal in search for a yeti. In the Ben 10: Ultimate Alien episode "Escape from Aggregor," Dr. Animo mind-controlled a Yeti to attack Ben while he prepares a bomb that would turn anyone in the radius of the explosion into Yetis. In Regular Show, the character Skips (voiced by Mark Hamill) is a Yeti. A Yeti appears in the 1977 American TV movie Snowbeast.[75] A Yeti appears in the 2011 movie called Snow Beast which is different from the movie listed above. In a Season 38 episode of Saturday Night Live that was hosted by Bruno Mars, there was a segment in that episode called "Yeti Point" where it was mentioned that there are a lot of Yeti in that area and that they point at the person before they attack. The owner of the lodge tells two hikers all about the Yeti that live on Yeti Point and how one of his co-workers was sexually harassed by a Yeti. While the hikers were preparing to check into the lodge, a Yeti (depicted as a man in a Yeti suit) appeared outside the lodge causing the owner and the co-worker to go outside to deal with it. While the hikers talked, the owner was killed by the Yeti and the co-worker gave the Yeti a flower indicating that the Yeti was still in a relationship with the co-worker. The Yetis are featured in the TV movie Abominable Christmas. Literature In literature the Yeti has appeared prominently in many works, including Tintin in Tibet by Hergé, in The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena by R. L. Stine and a gamebook in the Choose Your Own Adventure series. The Abominable Snowman is a superhero character in the Marvel Comics publications and the Snowman is a similar character in DC Comics. The Yeti is also very prominent in the Book of the SubGenius and other literature by the Church of the SubGenius. The name "Mi-go" is used in the "Cthulhu Mythos" of H.P. Lovecraft, including the story "The Whisperer in Darkness". A quest for the Yeti is described in Philip Kerr's book Esau. The Yeti appears in Christopher Moore’s novel Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal, a story that follows Jesus (Joshua) on his travels before the age of 30. Tintin in Tibet depicts the yeti, feared as a savage by human beings, as an anthropoid with an oval-shaped head who has a caring attitude toward humans. In the Harry Potter franchise, the Yetis are depicted as white-furred 15 ft. humanoids and are classfied as XXXX by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. The Yetis are one of the Wizarding World's worst kept secrets since the Muggles in Tibet have sighted some Yetis. The International Confederation of Wizards had to place a permanent International Task Force up in the mountains to help control the situation. Music American heavy metal band High on Fire included their song "The Yeti" on their second album Surrounded by Thieves. Rock band Clutch have a track entitled "The Yeti" on their third album The Elephant Riders. A psychedelic trance collaboration called "The mystery of the Yeti", featuring many prominent names of the genre, was released on two albums between the years 1996...1999. "What's the New Mary Jane" was a song written by John Lennon (but credited to Lennon–McCartney) and performed by The Beatles. It was recorded in 1968 for the album The Beatles (aka "The White Album"), but was not used. It contained the lyric, "She liked to be married to yeti, he cooking such groovy spaghetti." A newly mixed version of the recording was officially released on the 1996 compilation Anthology 3. On 11 October 2011, English singer-songwriter, Kate Bush, released, as a single from her album, "50 Words for Snow," the critically acclaimed and evocative, seven-minute song, "Wild Man," described by New Music Express music critic, Priya Elan, as having lyrics "full of geographical intrigue and century old myth." In 2012, parody artist Bad Lip Reading released a song, "YETI," about a doomed romance between Chris Martin and the titular cryptid. Theme parks Walt Disney World's attraction Expedition Everest is themed around the folklore of the Yeti and features a 25-foot-tall audio-animatronic Yeti which appears during the ride.[76] At Disneyland, a similar ride named the Matterhorn Bobsleds features three audio-animatronic Abominable Snowmen. Toys The Mattel Monster High line of dolls features a character named Abbey Bominable, a 16-year old exchange student to Monster High. In the webisodes, her character is fleshed out to include the fact she misses slang idioms, as her native language is Yetish. While depicted as a teenager with white hair (streaked with blue and pink), her height and strength intimidate the other students. Video games
