One of the reasons why I don't like fundamentalist religious organisation is for things like this. Loch Ness Monster real in biology textbook The truth about the photograph used in the Biology book refered to can be seen in Loch Ness Monster, Surgeon's Photograph |

One has to wonder if apathy or ingnorance was in place to allow such ignorance to be introduced to students as science In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

How many times have surveys of the lake found zip. radar is pretty accurate and not one blip that couldnt be explained. I think its a bunch of hooey. In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

Correct me if I'm wrong Chris, but I seem to recall the navy doing an extensive sonar scan of the lake. |

Send ID down there <g> Most people do Skil. Sonar is different from radar. There is definitely something there, but we can't seem to find out what is is. |

yes, its called hundreds of people looking for something that isn't there In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

though teaching the presense of an animal yet to be actually verifiably photographed or found is a bit of hookum. You may as we teach about the yeti and sasquatch as far as that goes In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

yes, its called hundreds of people looking for something that isn't there I bet Robert Ballard didn't think that what "something large" showed up on the sonar just before he found the Titanic. So far I can't see any reference to a "Loch Ness Monster" when sonar was mentioned. Don't forget that naval personnel are not dumbo's & modern sonar is pretty damned efficient. |

Good links Bobby. Seems that I must be mistaken then. Oh well :-) no you're not mistaken - the naval sonar survey did take place & they detected something - no one said anything about "Nessie" - Neither did Chris or I. |

What, you don't believe the reports of pins with angels on them down there? Oh yea of little faith. |

And if rumors have it correctly, there is assumed to be lying a UFO some 90 meters in diameter (or was it at a depth of 90 meters, perhaps) at the bottom of the sea separating the Nordic countries from the rest of Europe. What is the official "English name" for this part of the Atlantic ocean stretching in between the countries? It ends up at the borders between Sweden and Finland in the north and also the border between Finland and Russia in the east and it is not a small lake. |

I went to Loch Ness several years ago on one of those rare ventures called a holiday. What struck me most was that I saw no one actually monitoring the Loch looking out for Nesse. Nice place Scotland, especially around the West coast side.
