ROFL!!
We recommend not allowing pets in the viewable area of the image capture to prevent possible false positives (unless your family pet IS a Bigfoot). We are especially concerned about squirrels. Our algorithms are unable to distinguish reliably between a Bigfoot and a squirrel, and a sighting of a squirrel will result in a "false positive".
Hahahaha!!!

LOL! I first read that about a year ago, and it still cracks me up!
Favorite quotes:
"Download Version 1.00 of YETI@Home for: Windows, BeOs, OS2, Linux, Amiga Workbench, Atari ST, Altair, TRS-80, Vectrex, Babbage's Difference Engine, Palm Pilot, Sega Genesis and Timex Indiglo (sorry, not available for Macintosh)."
"Like most screen savers, it checks to see if the mouse is stationary and no keys have been pressed on the keyboard. Due to the important nature of this project and the need for as many CPU cycles as possible, it minimizes idle time by using a fixed timeout of 3 seconds before activating. We recommend typing in an even, steady pattern to avoid accidentally triggering an "idle timeout". "
"If YETI@Home determines that your current level of computer activity is not as important as scanning for Bigfoot, it will consider the computer "idle" and begin processing. Once processing has begun, the current batch must be completed before control is returned to the user. YETI@Home will take over the computer and begin its important work of scanning for simians while you return to whatever activies and hobbies you enjoyed before owning a personal computer."
Kinda goes contrary to this quote don't ya think?
"Once installed, the YETI@Home client will not interrupt your daily computer usage. In fact, the application can run virtually unnoticed in the background for years, much like the Libertarian Party. "
