What Kind of Monster Are You? You Are a Werewolf You're unpredictable, moody, and downright freaky. You seem sweet and harmless, until you snap. Then you're a total monster. Very few people can predict if you're going to be Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde. But for you, all your transformations seem perfectly natural.
Your greatest power: Your ability to tap into nature
Your greatest weakness: Lack of self control
You play well with: Vampires
i'd have said the heartless kind, but apparently blogthings know better. :)
that thing makes me feel sad.

So you're a werewolf, Sulz. I've always liked werewolves.
It is sad, isn't it? I actually wasn't sure whether I should post the photo or not as I felt I might be demeaning it the way some others are... but I didn't think people would understand unless they could see it.
I wonder what's happened to the body now? I hope it hasn't just been disposed of... that would be really sad.

You Are a Ghost
Mysterious, independent, and often unseen - you always do things your own way. You are introverted, shy, and even a little secretive. People are dying to know you better, but you're a difficult person to know. A lot of your contributions to the world are left invisible and unfelt.
How X Filesish is it that the people are googling this weird and sad curiosity and they should find CJ writer of speculative fiction....maybe you could get a story out of it, oh Lionheart.

I wonder what that is, the poor thing. I do hope we find out. I have to admit, I want to know more.
As for the quiz:
I am also a Ghost.

It does look like a dog to me. All speculations can be put to rest if some vet inspects the remains. As an animal lover, it makes me very sad. How did this dog die?

Oh, eeeeee. That may keep me up nights. I feel sad and repulsed all at the same time. It's good you posted it, though. Perhaps someone can identify the creature. You've gotten HUNDREDS of searches like that? I never get hundreds of searches for anything. So, you are recommending that I write a post called "Weird Turtle Without Shell"? THAT's your method? Do you plan to teach this? WhadI miss? WhatI miss? Why are you the Lionheart? I am a zombie, like you. (Here I am commenting on your blog at THIS hour), however, one or two of the multiple choice questions didn't apply and I was unable to choose "N/A". I mean, I'm not going to take revenge upon someone; what kind of person do they think I am over at Blogthings?

Muse its from my bloggiversary post..... I named you Muse the Inspirational...and Kaylee the Indomitable and then Christopher insisted on not being Christopher the Special but Christopher the Lionheart...Narnia and all that always....he always wanted to be a king of Narnia. Hope you get this when you wake up.
PS those questions were hard... you had to pretend you liked hurting or scaring people!

I don't know what to make of it either, MQ. It doesn't sound like you much, does it? Sounds more like me, actually! Although you do have a habit of surprising people. ;)
I didn't think of that, although it is strange they keep finding my blog... I wonder what Mulder and Scully would make of all this? Maybe they should investigate. After they're done with Muse's magnetic rock, of course. :)
I hope we do as well, BD. It deserves our pity, not this morbid interest, and I don't think it will go away until we know... Newsday posted a new photo which looks more like a dog. I think that's still the most likely theory.
So you're a ghost too. Interesting! You must be a friendly ghost like Casper. ;)
There's a new photo on Newsday which appears more like a dog as well, Priya. It's more distressing, though, and I'm starting to get the feeling it might have been tied up and thrown into the ocean... if that's true, that would be just abominable. I hope I'm wrong.
Apparently CNN covered it last night and they talked to the man who says he has the remains. He plans to get them examined, so hopefully we'll know for sure before too long.

Whoops, sorry about that, Muse; I should have posted a warning with it! The new photo on Newsday makes it look more like a dog but there is still some doubt, mainly because of the size... it's hard to get a sense of scale in the photo but hopefully someone will look at the remains... maybe then the poor thing can rest.
So far I've had 796 searches for "turtle without a shell" in four days! It's bizarre and I can't work out how they keep finding my blog as I can't find it in Google. I wish I knew why it was working; generally a good title and anything tagged with "sex" and "weird animals" does well for me. :)
Ah, so you're another zombie! That's two; now we just need a few more and we can start causing panic and mayhem. :P The quizzes on BlogThings are a little odd sometimes, aren't they? They're fun but the options can be unusual. I even looked to submit a quiz of my own once but I can't work out how to do it! Guess I must be missing something.
MQ explained about the Lionheart thing but basically it's a joke; I always wanted to be a King of Narnia. I guess I never outgrew it! ;)
Wait a minute, MQ - insisted? I did not insist, I objected! You were going to call me "special". I am not "special". That makes me sound like Spider-Man; I am not a wimp like Peter Parker! CJ the Lionheart's much better. :)

You Are a Witch (or Warlock) You are deviously brilliant and a perfect manipulator. You somehow always end up getting what you want - without anyone knowing you're working behind the scenes. Crafty and cunning, you can work your way out of any jam. And it's easy for you to get people to do what you want, whether you're working for good or evil.
Your greatest power: Mind control
Your greatest weakness: Making people your puppets
Wow, you might have got the best result of all, Amanda! Don't think it sounds much like you but it's fun! I love the "making people your puppets" bit - sounds like they've been listening to Lord Voldemort too much. :)

I think it looks like some sort of wild pig, A turtle wouldn't look like this because their ribs are built into their shell, so it would have to be cut open, I think it may have hoofs but it's hard to tell, I wish it could have some more dignity.:/

Thanks for clearing that up, CJ & MQ. Well, you can still be "special", ceej, without being wimpy, but I like you as the King of Narnia; it fits! So, Lionheart, don't worry about the pic. MQ calls me a big softie, and she's right...it's just that...I'm very...sensitive...sniff, sniff,{cue violin music, and chorus chanting "awwww"}. ;) And I can get a bit giddy, late at night. That poor ol' animal is all over the news again today, anyway.
Your plan is excellent. It's been one of my goals in life to cause panic and mayhem! OK, I'll take North America; you can probably cover the southern hemisphere, and we'll recruit a few more zombies for the rest of the world. ;) And, re: first update??? An obvious, not-at-all subtle attempt to drive traffic to older wonderful posts! You've pinged yourself so they're showing up in my comment queue again. Hah! ;)

Well, I guess I've always thought I'm more... unique than special, Muse. But I do like being a King of Narnia. The beard makes me fit right in!
It's strange how the story has spread so quickly... I would never have thought somewhere like CNN would be reporting it, let alone so quickly. I just wish the poor thing could be left some dignity; it's distressing seeing the photo on every website, and then the "demon spawn" comments...
OK, sounds like a plan. I'll start our quest for zombie domination at the Opera House; before long the world will be ours! Hm, now I'm starting to sound like Raincoaster.
And I know, the pings are really annoying! I've had to update the post several times and I delete them but they keep pushing the comments back up. Oh well, at least some of the searchers are clicking them. I'll have to try it more often. ;)
A dog's what most people seem to think now, Osama; hopefully it will be identified before too long. I feel really sorry for it now... poor thing.
So you think it's one of the Anunnaki, Craig? Last time I checked it still looked like a dog to me rather than an ancient Babylonian God. But I'd happily be proved wrong!

Poor thing. I'm sure that's a dog. It doesn't really look like anything else.
I'm a ghost, apparently. I didn't think much of question 4 though, because I couldn't imagine doing any of those things to someone. I'm much more forgiving than that!

Hi Edith, thank you for the lovely comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the posts and my writing; it's still evolving and I appreciate your feedback. It's just what I needed to hear at the moment, so thank you so much.
I agree, Bobby; I've seen a few more pictures now and if it's real I think it has to be a dog. The shape and size seem like the closest match and who knows how long its body was in the water? Apparently they still can't find it, though... the longer it goes on the more likely it's a hoax, I would think.
Hm, three ghosts... I'm starting to think my blog might be haunted! I agree with you about question 4, though, it's pretty hard to imagine yourself in that situation, isn't it? BlogThings asks the weirdest questions sometimes.

If you're still interested in the beastie, this story was all over the US news today: "The saga of the so-called Montauk Monster appears to have taken another bizarre turn, this time toward Hollywood, with the Web site of a movie production crew claiming to have the "kidnapped" carcas."
Interesting, Muse! That would go with what people are thinking; either a dog or a hoax, and certainly this Splinterheads director sounds like he's all but claimed it's his creation.
There are still a few unanswered questions, though. Why would a film which is basically a comedy set in a carnival have monsters in it? And why has this only just been reported? It was up on the website days ago; if Darren and Rachel Goldberg are related, why has it taken so long to work out?
Hoax sounds like the most likely answer but I'm still not sure how it fits in with this particularly movie. Maybe we won't know until it opens next year.
