Loch Ness monster could be a giant eel, say scientists
Personally I think the many-eel theory is more likely than the giant-eel theory. What do you think?
Wasn't a similar spate of corkscrewed seals put down to the Greenland shark not too long ago?
Ah, just clicked the link and yep, Greenland shark. Interestingly, Jeremy Wade once suggested that the Greenland shark was responsible for some "monster sightings" in various places during his Loch...
Unfortunately the Apple Map directions to get to this location requires you to drive through Cardiff, twice.

Cryptozoology, unlike zoology, depends primarily on eyewitness accounts. Some cryptozoology enthusiasts understand that eyewitness testimonies are not definitive because of the potential problems inherent in such accounts. Other advocates accept, at least provisionally, sightings, and others...
I'd recently learned that Creationists were funding expeditions to Africa searching for dinosaurs to disprove the theory of evolution.
It would appear that it is not just sauropods (Mokele Mbembe) that are in their sights...
The Herald, a Scottish newspaper, mocks Louisana's educational program that allows teachers to use the Loch Ness monster myth to criticize evolution and says positive things about the KKK.
Full: The Herald
Now I've not been able to verify this, but the Sunday Herald (a usually reliable Scottish broadsheet) carries this interesting article today:

Vanity Fair/60 Minutes is conducting a poll on belief in the existence of Bigfoot, UFOs, ghosts, Loch Ness Monster and vampires. More here.
Only 7% of all those polled think Bigfoot actually exists. Men believe it more than women, and those over 45 believe it more than younger.
33% believe...
From http://www.csmonitor.com/World/Global-News/2010/0427/Loch-Ness-monster-is-real-former-Scottish-police-chief -- among other sites reporting this so-called "news". (As of this post, "Loch Ness" is trending #3 on yahoo's front page.)
Loren Coleman is being quoted as "a leading experts [sic]...

Yep, without all those "genuine" sightings we would have reason to worried that Nessie was dead!
(BTW wasn't sure if this should go in Humour)
Well, I was recently corrected on a point skeptics frequently make. I was saying that I couldn't understand how people could get so worked up about cryptids like the Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, Champ and so forth when any number of fish, animals and insects found in the same places offer...
I have a feeling this poor scientist has been suckered by the glow of the limelight and the prospect of some easy publicity for her research, and has then been railroaded by the media. However, on the face of it, she appears to give credence to the idea of Nessie, and between them they make...
I want to make a video parody of "The PentaCON" using the theme I came up with in this thread. Unfortunately, I am not what you would call "tech savvy", nor do I have any skill or experience making videos. I don't even have any voice recording equipment.
So what I figured I could do: I could...

Now you may be thinking, "But eyewitnesses are unreliable". That may be true in many cases, but there are six reasons which make THESE eyewitness reports especially trustworthy:
1) The high level of corroboration from independent accounts...
The bookmaker William Hill is offering £1,000,000 for evidence of the Loch Ness Monster, to be ratified by staff from the Natural History Museum:

Loch ness video
Now, I would like to know if ANY of you see something in this, beside a vague shaodw which could be anything like a log with some kelp following some surface surrent. Because I certainly don't see anything beside an oblong shadow without floss fin or anything, not even...
For the first time since it was first reported by St Columba more than 1500 years ago, we could be close to solving one of the most famous mysteries in the world. There have been many attempts to explain Loch Ness Monster sightings away as hoaxes and delusions; none of them have been...
Just In: Plesiosaurs Look Like Nessie!
At least according to 1 AP reporter.
"Five-foot-long animal would have resembled Loch Ness Monster"
I think the fossil itself is worth noting. However, if one has to use myth to generate interest, interest would have been better served by saying the...
"Triathlon competitors are to be insured for £1m in case they are injured by the Loch Ness monster." According to the BBC
All I can say is that I'm impressed by an insurance company not only getting free advertising but also geting people to pay them for it.
I'm reading the ever delightful book, "The Great Orm of Loch Ness" by F.W.Holiday.
He claims that Nessie is nothing more than a "monstrous aquatic slug". That's why there are never any bones found, and for the most part they are in bottom of the lake, doing whatever giant water slugs do...
"While it's true that two people are missing, there's no need to turn a simple UFO abduction into another of those ridiculous Nessie stories."
Thanks, James. Best laugh I've had in a month!
