Ever wonder what happened to those celebrities who were everywhere back then, but have since fallen off the face of the earth? Well, stop asking yourself stupid questions and find out where they are — now!                         ­


Bigfoot

Formerly popular cryptic beast

Although Bigfoot was a star in the 20th century, making appearances in blurry photographs in all the most respected tabloids, he mysteriously fell off the world’s radar aroundthe same time that autofocus became a standard camera feature.

Carmen Sandiego

Elusive video game character

Sandiego spent her most prolific years on the lam as the ringleader of V.I.L.E., a criminal organization dedicated to tricking kids into learning about geography. Where in the world is she now? In 2005 Carmen was finally brought to justice for her crimes and is currently serving a life sentence at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in Clinton, New Jersey.

Sometimes, the latter two approaches become no longer effective when cancers become drug resistant, allowing the cells to further spread. At the University of Calgary, however, promising developments in immunotherapy intervention seek to provide alternative treatment when common therapies are not viable.  Cells continually divide to replenish dying cells, but certain gene mutations can create cancer cells, which divide and spread in an uncontrolled manner. The human body naturally defends itself from cancerous cells, though sometimes they can “hide from the immune system and avoid being destroyed,” according to the Canadian Cancer Society.
