Chupacabras

If they could get them to swim they could stick mines to the underside of enemy ships, too.

The mystery is explained at last.

Interesting article in the new FT from a writer who interviewed the first woman to identify the chupacabras. Reading it, it does come across as if she had been very impressed with the monster in the then-recent film Species and hallucinated/mistook/invented her sighting. But what was everyone else seeing, if that was the case? Was it a bandwagon it was fashionable to be on for a while, before it slipped into obscurity?

I'd suggest Radford's Tracking the Chupacabra. It tells the whole story.

Mangy coyotes?

Under no circumstances should any of your children look up the name of Netflix’s soon-to-be-released children’s movie, Chupa without SafeSearch on.

I think it's a non-story.

There's Spanish candy maker Chupa Chups. Chupa has always meant "to suck" in Spanish. Chupa Chups makes lollipops.

Maybe someone should have told the director of the movie? Well, the writer/director is Mexican himself, and two of the three stars are Mexican or Mexican-American. In all likelihood they know what Chupa means.

"Chupa follows Alex, a young boy from Kansas City who heads to Mexico to meet his family." A young kid from Kansas City isn't going to know spanish slang. Context, people.

Now if the title was "Chupa mi _______" that would be something else (and quite rude so I wont put the last word in there).

It sounds a dire film.

This might perk it up
