7) WTF?
8) Apparently, Bigfoot limps like a guy wearing a gorilla suit trying to keep the bottom up.
9) When you click on this link, make sure you sit for a few minutes. Dayum!
10) Finally, Ed Harris has portrayed a rogue Marine general, Ludwig van Beethoven, a crazed crime boss, and Jackson Pollock. This role may be a bit too insane for even him.
