Witness Amazed at BIGFOOT Speed & Dexterity While Climbing Rock Face
The eyewitness observes a Bigfoot leap onto a rock face along Highway 50 in California. He was amazed at the speed and gravity-defying ability that the creature demonstrated.
“Nearly 30 years ago I was on my way up to Kirkwood my favorite haunt in the Tahoe Basin and not quite to Twin Bridges (on Highway 50 in California). The car in front of me braked and slowed to the right shoulder. In that car’s light, I saw a huge dark figure on two feet at the roadside and then it leaped forward and crossed the highway in what I would call frog leaps, three of them, to clear the entire roadway.
I somehow stopped in a dumbfounded stupor and watched it regain two feet as it crossed the far side of the embankment. Oncoming traffic had stopped, as well. I don’t recall how many vehicles but multiple, all freaked, I’m sure. This is then scaled on the face of granite that could be blasted out during roadway construction.
After the transition from frog-like leaps back to bipedal, there is a leap to the rock face. This thing moved like a person’s speed climbing a wall at REI. There wasn’t much light but I’ve been back past that place many times. That face is rough with cracks, holes, and blasted areas. There are plenty of hand and toe holds. But with the speed at which that thing covered all of 60 feet of rock face, it did instinctively, not searching for holds, nor looking around, it just flowed up and over and was gone, with a few folks scratching their heads and rubbing eyes.
As an amateur rock climber/bouldering enthusiast, I cannot understand the speed and fluidity of the creature’s climb. Defying gravity would be as close as I could say, that the whole area is a hotbed or ground zero. It’s very close to where the Sierra sounds were recorded.”

Google Highlights Recent Speed Improvements Made to Chrome on Mac
Google says that with the latest release of Chrome, the company went “deep under the hood” to find new opportunities to increase speed and efficiency. Google implemented improved HTML parsing for select CSS and JavaScript functions, and added more efficient pointer compression.
Optimizations were made to how pointers are compressed and decompressed, with Google avoiding compressing high-traffic fields. With the frequency of those operations, there was a notable impact on performance. Frequently accessed objects like JavaScript’s “undefined” were also moved to the beginning of memory bases, which allows them to be accessed using faster machine code.
These changes have improved Chrome’s speed on Apple’s Speedometer 2.1 browser benchmark by 10 percent over the last three months. Google Chrome for Mac can be downloaded from the Google website.
