Because how else can you study Yetis without an official Yeti Institute?
Will we ever get proof of the snowy white bigfoot-like creature believed (by some) to inhabit the Himalayas? Now, nothing’s been confirmed, but Kemerovo State University just might start researching the abominable snowman.
This is probably a really excellent use of academic funds, but we’re not sure what sort of research would go on and what this research is meant to accomplish; ice cave excavations? Footprint analysis? And should researchers find the Yeti, then what? Affixing stars to the tops of Christmas trees takes but a minute. (Kidding, obviously we’re waiting for the Gorillas in the Mist-esque Yeti movie)
The Kemerovo Region in Western Siberia, which uses supposed Yeti sightings to boost tourism, will reach a final decision after this year’s scheduled International Yeti Conference. (To talk about Yetis, not to be confused with a conference run by Yetis)
