[quote]Things aren't going well in Scotland. Last year was the worst year on record for sightings of the Loch Ness Monster. A documentary studied the possibility that Nessie has gone extinct, and even the Official Loch Ness Monster Fan Club is worried.
Only one "dependable" sighting, by a local man back in June, shows there might be life in the old critter yet, but if that's a false alarm, where does that leave us? Locals around Loch Ness are worried last year's poor showing may affect tourist numbers. In the United States, liberals are saying Nessie died of shame from being called a "monster" instead of the more politically correct term "evidence-challenged endangered species". Conservatives claim Nessie was the first victim of the death panels set up by Obama's America-hating, terrorist-loving national health care.
The number of sightings has been going down for a few years, so the creature or creatures may very well be dying out. Is it gone for good? Unless AOL coughs up a few million to equip me with sonar equipment and a submarine, I really can't say.
Whatever happened to Nessie, take heart. There are plenty of lake monsters to go around. There's a Nessie-like creature in Minnesota, one in Lake Champlain, and others scattered around the world. There's even another Scottish beastie in Loch Morar, which was the subject of a recent investigation by blogger Tom Gates. He took the amazing photo shown here. Believe it or not it's actually a fake, made with a little Nessie model and some basil, and should serve as a warning to serious cryptozoologists that common household items can be used to construct a photo that can fool even the experts.
I, for one, don't think Nessie will ever die. Despite having walked on the Moon and plumbed the depths of the ocean, we as a species love a mystery, and will always need creatures like Nessie, Bigfoot, the Mothman, and Raw Head and Bloody Bones until we ourselves go extinct.[/quote]

why don't they like, get a submarine and look for him???

Because that would be smart.
Some might take this as a shocking revalation but Nessie might just be a big ol' pile of horse crap and a way to draw tourism to the town to increase revenue. you know, like all those stories of people getting rich in Vegas.
Just saying...

Loch Ness is one of, if not, the opaque water in the world, nigh impossible to see anything. That and it is also huge and full of caverns.

Your avatar either makes your post ironic or very funny. I'll go for funny.

Really? I thought the Loch Ness Monster was real.
How can they say something is extinct when they haven't even proven that it existed?
Not sure what's a better story, Noah's ark may have been circular, or Loch Ness monster goes extinct.
[QUOTE=Amez;19562861]How can they say something is extinct when they haven't even proven that it existed?[/QUOTE]
That.
The Loch Ness Monster has now entered the list of extinction along with Spaghetti Monsters and the Jersey Devil.

They took some boats and lined them up coast to coast with underwater radar and covered the lake not finding anything. Case Closed

That creeps me out. Imagine you're scuba diving in Loch Ness and you dive down into the deep dark waters and you find a cave. You can't see anything in there. Man that stuff freaks me out.

That, or Nessy is some sort of giant nudibranch and therefore photosynthetic.
