Men think they have found true origin of "Dogtown" name

[snopes]

Bob Corbett calls it "the sheerest nonsense, claptrap, hogwash." Tom Haller says simply "that rumor is not true."

What they are talking about is theory that Dogtown got its name because Philippine natives, the Igorots, who visited the area as part of the 1904 World's Fair, would hunt dogs there for food.

Dang! Thought it was going to be about Dogtown, MA... something along the lines of "there really were witches there and the dogs were actually their human victims... and we've found the DNA to prove it!"

Poop... guess I should shift my spooky, Halloween mindset back into neutral instead of hyperspeed. :sigh:
