Hibbing High School in Hibbing, MN, may be the most opulent high school in America. Built for $3.9 million in 1920 by iron ore barons who were mining the area, the school, known as "the Castle in the Woods," sports a 1,800-seat auditorium...and Bill Ratican supposedly has never missed a show, working back stage when the building was completed and occupying seat J47 since his death in 1942.

First it was rabbits disappearing from Yellowstone National Park. Now there are reports of moose dying off in Minnesota. While biologists scramble to identify what is killing off the Minnesota moose population, some theories are being tossed about: parasites, an infectious agent and...you guessed it...global warming.

The reports from the 19th century of the capture of a Bigfoot-like creature have been discounted by many as a literary hoax perpetrated during a time of less likely public disclosure. But some of the descriptions of the creature and its abilities seem too real for the tale to have been fabricated, according to this report. Also, on the same site, a scan of the entire Patterson/Gimlin film.
