Well it is a tabloid. Where there's one Bigfoot there would have to be more. 80 may be very old for a Bigfoot or it's a Bigfoot on the tabloid staff. Typical headline style would be short so that's probably why it doesn't say "A Bigfoot..." or "Our Bigfoot.." or "New Jersey Bigfoot Turns 80".

Originally posted by TomAllen: Who says the episodes were aired in (Futurama-style) chronological order? Why can't "Spanish Fry" have taken place before "Parabox"? Aha! Thought I wasn't geeky enough, am I?
The episodes are put on the DVD in the order they are created. Sure they air in a strange order but i don't think the creators put them in that order.

The DVDs go in production order, and even if they weren't, check the production codes. You can clearly see that The Farnsworth Parabox (4ACV15) was created before Spanish Fry (4ACV17).
Anyway, newspaper headlines are vague. "Bigfoot turns 80!" could just mean that it's been 80 years since the first evidence of Bigfoot was discovered (assuming the current "evidence" had been forgotten by then, which is a common theme in Futurama).

Yeah but they went back and changed the Professor's line in Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles from Bigfoot being head of the FBI to the Tooth Fairy instead (lip-synch is still the same though). I guess they just missed that one.

What Prof. Wernstrum and DavidA said.
The Weekly World News is a hoot. My personal favorite headline:
2000 YEAR OLD LIVE SPACE ALIEN UNCOVERED IN KING TUT'S TOMB!

Maybe that tabloid's "Bigfoot" stories are like WWN's ongoing adventures of not-really-dead-Elvis or the riveting Batboy saga...

I know, i know. Its simple: in the paralel universe Bigfoot had allready been discovered and Fry beeing the idiot that he is, put the book into the box and on the otherside (universe A) it popped out and fell onto the ground (A) where leela A found it and started reading it.

That's the cleverest thing I've read ever since I turned on the subtitles in 'Monty Python's Flying Circus'. Seriously, that show is pretty clever. Welcome, Clevertoruis!

You must be in league with the Devil! Seriously, it is not difficult to understand that it is a tabloid. Several people have said it. On the other hand, I do love Salveruis' hypothesis!
