Nessie is an eel

Question: does Loch Ness drain to the ocean? If not, how would an eel get in?

Mr Freeman added: “Compared with other theories, ours is the only one which makes scientific sense.”

I find it hard (no disrespect intended), and just a bit arrogant, to assume that every witness must fall into these 3 categories. The eel idea makes a certain amount of logical sense (as does the idea of a 500 pound Sturgeon); although I also wonder if they have ever found an underwater connection to the ocean.

Yes, it does - via the River Ness IIRC.

I think it does. But if it doesn't, perhaps someone could have put some in?
 
I assume your making fun...
Nessie was a prank played by to boyhood pals , one of who fessed up on his deathbead and explained how they did it and held great delight with the apperent gullibility of humankind.

The crop circles are a testiment of the continuing stupidity of mankind.

Needlessly harsh. Besides, there are 500 pound Sturgeon. I don't find the eel hypothesis that hard to swallow (pun intentional).

Plus, if I were a 100 year old eel who wasn't getting any, I'd probably be prone to bizzare behavior, too.

Either that, or I'd start posting at the JREF! :D

Eels regularly travel many miles overland - through damp grass etc. They are quite common in landlocked freshwater pools, even though they spend part of their lives in the ocean.
