Loch Ness Monster

[LostInAnomie]

[The Jacobin]

1. Hoax

But I'm tired of all the posers - I want the REAL ART BELL back on the air. :tinfoilhat:

[Whoa_Nelly]

2. Here's Nessie's Home Page and Web Cam!

Web Cam:
(Not much to see right now...still dark over in Scotland. But, in a few hours the sun will be coming up, and the scene is beautiful!)

5. Been to Loch Ness. The scenery is breathtaking.

3. Have you seen "Incident at Loch Ness"?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0374639/

Best "mocumentary" ever. Who knew Werner Herzog had a sense of humour?!

[GirlinContempt]

4. Lochness is a hilarious song

[Mutley]

6. Who knows?

But it would be cool, wouldn't it? As long as he didn't eat anyone.

[Callalily]

7. Definitely a hoax

Lake Champlain has a similar monster called Champ. Maybe the two should get together and breed. :rofl:

8. Hoax

Though I like Police's use of Nessie as a metaphor for the id in Synchronicity 2.

11. Many miles away

Something crawls to the surface
Of a dark Scottish loch

(Trivia: in the second chorus, Sting says "loch" instead of "lake", but the lyrics sheet says "lake" in all three choruses)

The last song of their last album. And a kickass song at that.

12. That it is!

And Sting's last real kickass song before slipping into bland "lite radio" never-never land.

9. If real, I for one seek the peaceful existence of our underwater ally

[Shell Beau]

10. HOAX!!!! n/t

[RedCloud]

13. That photo is simply some guy drowning

and sticking his arm up at an odd angle.

[Fox Mulder]

14. None of us can say with certainty whether it's real or not.

I believe the possibility of "sea creatures" still surviving today...but maybe in the ocean where the water gets really deep.

:shrug:

[WeRQ4U]

15. I believe the guy that took that photo confessed to its fabrication....

He came forward with the truth on his deathbed. Him and his friends manufactured the photo using props.

EDIT: That's not saying there can't be OTHER evidence. I just know that this particular one is a fabrication.

16. Loching thread.

:evilgrin:

[Aristus]

17. What I think is cool is that the Scots have given the

Monster, real or not, a taxonomic classification, Nessiterias rhombopteryx, and protected status as an endangered creature.

Nessiterias rhombopteryx means 'Ness creature with the diamond-shaped fin'.

Cool. B-)
