Default Nessie is back! - 05-31-2007, 12:32 PM

http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/europe/05 ... index.html

[quote:bcdc0]Like tartan, bagpipes, and shortbread Scotland's Loch Ness Monster is as much an emblem as a tourist draw.

And now Nessie's back.

An amateur scientist has captured what Loch Ness Monster watchers say is among the finest footage ever taken of the elusive mythical creature reputed to swim beneath the waters of Scotland's most mysterious lake.

"I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this jet black thing, about 45-feet (15 meters) long, moving fairly fast in the water," said Gordon Holmes, the 55-year-old a lab technician from Shipley, Yorkshire, who took the video this past Saturday.

He said it moved at about 6 mph (10 kph) and kept a fairly straight course.....[/quote:bcdc0]

i am going to pour massive amounts of chlorine in the water to kill it and hope for it to float to the top. Or just use TNT and blow the whole lake apart.

Don't understand why some people can't accept that nessie doesn't exist. The most famous picture of nessie was a fake and was acheived with a toy clockwork submarine with the shape of a dinosaur neck and head stuck on top of it.

[img]http://www.users.bigpond.com/rdoolan/Pix/lochnessmonster.jpg[/img]

The guy admitted it was fake soon before his death. Theres been countless expeditions around loch ness with boats using sonar or whatever to probe the loch and each time theyve turned up nothing.

I can't view the original vid for some reason, this video is pretty good as whatever it is in the loch seems pretty long, longer than a seal imo.

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/38939/doe ... ter_exist/

That could be the vid linked, for whatever reason the sites crashing on me.

They have their Lochness over there, we have our Sasquatch over here. Neither one was caught on a good camera.

....you'd think with everyone having a camera these days, SOMEONE would get a good shot of them.

I call bullshit on both.

Sasquatch seems slightly possible due to the sheer amount of forests in North America, while Nessie is confined to a damn lake.

Yar but the loch is deeper than the North Sea, I still say it's bs though... It's easy to understand how the local savages would believe it, the men all wear skirts. the_finger:
