Loch Ness Monster or Boat - you decide...
« on: August 26, 2009, 14:43:03 »

Hi,

Looking through a Tabloid Newspaper, cam across an article claiming that the Loch Ness Monster can be seen on Google. I have found the image on Google Earth, and here it is:

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?t=h&hl=en-GB&ie=UTF8&ll=57.214521,-4.570755&spn=0.001737,0.005681&z=18

Personally, it is a boat, but what do you think?

From the article:

Quote
Researcher Adrian Shine, of the Loch Ness Project, said: "This is really intriguing. It needs further study."

Well he can't be much of a researcher if he can't see it is a boat...

Btw, how can you 'further study' a hazy picture anyway, what you see is what you get..    :doh:

I reckon he means that he is goign to sit and stare at it like mad, chanting "please be the monster, please be the monster, please be the monster" in the hopes that it turns into the monster, and the last 30 years of his life haven't been meaningless after all..   :P

There's no proof that Nessie exists, so I believe it's a boat.

Seems like Tractorman anticipates someone's appearance on evening & goes in overexcitement as usual.
