Lesser Known North American Cryptids: A Survey
The Rhode Island Mean-Bird: Making its home in Providence, the RIM-B is said to be anywhere from 1 to 1 and 1/2 feet in wingspan. Some witnesses have claimed that they have measured its wingspan to over 2 feet, but these claims seem wildly outlandish to those familiar with the RIM-B. What is not disputed, however, is how mean it is (very mean).
Day Bat: On that most desolate of American Peninsulas, the Floridian Day-Bat is known to jolt awake traveling families with its eerie midmorning cry, which bares a stunning resemblance to the speaking voice of actor David Duchnovy. While some cryptozoologists now suspect that the Day Bat is simply a regular bat that stays awake for a few extra hours, there exists no substantial body of proof to support this theory.
Ol' Cliff (formerly known as Clifton Clifford): In Cuyahoga County, Ohio, locals know not to go swimming in the Clifton Lagoon, for fear of Ol' Cliff. Early settlers reported a creature with a body of a sea lion and a head of a horse, which would swim idly up the the lakeshore to shoot the breeze with whoever was nearby. They originally had hoped this creature, which they named Clifton Clifford, would bring them good fortune. But frontier people were stupid; horse-headed monsters are never good news. During the early days of that first stifling Ohio summer, several children went missing a night. At first, families were reticent to blame their new, horsey friend- he seemed so kind, and besides, in olden days kids were nothing more than a burden at the best of times. However, when the mayor's beloved daughter, Agnes (again, olden times were awful), went missing one humid August afternoon, a county-wide moratorium on swimming was put into place, which holds to this day. FUN FACT: Ol' Cliff's head is actually that of a mule!
North American Giant Bigfoot: Probably just a really big bigfoot. No big deal.

In it's prime, seasons 2,3,4, N.B.C.'s the Office was a great show. It was super witty, had a really good story line, and had great characters that you could really connect with. This is not the case anymore.
The show started to go down hill in its fifth season. It kind of ran out of original plots and it just became weird. The characters started to change from their original, hillarious forms, and started to just become plain unfunny. This could be said for most main charachters, except for the protagonist, Micheal Scott. Micheal always maintained a constant leval of funny.
After a terrible season 5 and 6, Steve Carrell, who portrays scott, announced he was leaving the show at the end of the 7th season. This led to the best season since the 4th which climaxed at a great episode, Micheal's leaving of the office.
This would have been a great place to close down the series. Leave with its dignity. But the writers decided to continue it.
The 8th season just had its season finale. The season proved to be the show's worst effort by far, almost unwatchable. After this embarrasment you think the show's writers would decide to shut it down, right?
Wrong, they are bringing back for a 9th season, for some unfathomable reason. Along with this new season, they are bringing in all new writers and a lot of new cast members(because the smart ones knew they had to get the hell out of that mess.)
The Office is such a good example of how shows should quit when they are ahead, before they ruin everything good they had once done.
