Climbers find footprints of abominable snowman?

Japanese climbers returning from a mountain in western Nepal said they had found footprints they think belonged to the abominable snowman or Yeti.

Huge footprints doth not a Yeti sighting make. Human footprints in the snow grow into huge sizes when the sunlight changes and melts the snow.

Whow - according to that metric tape, it's a whooping 17cm long. Half a foot, in fact. Rather looks like footsteps from the creepy gnome that spooked Central America this spring. Maybe the guy moved to Nepal.

Or it was a very, very small yeti.

The Nimble Snow Man.
