Mummified Leg's Foot Size Too Small To Be Yeti...

Mountaineers in Siberia have discovered the mummified leg of an unknown creature according to reports on the Interfax web site.

Gaiters no problem for yetis,
but boots are a different matter...
The site reports that the limb was found at an altitude of around 3000 metres and scientists who X-rayed it concluded that 'the bones did not belong to any known animal, however a human-style knee joint and a covering of reddish hair should spark speculation that the creature was a yeti...

Scientists are reluctant to draw this conclusion though, apparently the limb takes only a size 36 boot whereas yetis, as we all know, have great big feet and often have trouble finding boots to fit at all, though gaiters are, of course, readily available...
