anotheranon | Loch Ness monster seen again

I'm late learning about this but given my near-obsessive interest in the LNM as a kid, I have to link to the May 28 video. Frankly, I don't think it's clear enough to be sure of anything, but at least the news readers have nifty Scottish and northern English accents :)

Full disclosure: Most 6th grade girls want ponies. I wanted my own Loch Ness Monster, especially if it was a plesiosaur :P More specifically, I wanted to live by the loch and just watch until something happened and then take pictures and write about it, Jane Goodall-style. Trust me, such a lifestyle sounded absolutely reasonable to my extra-geeky 11 year old self :P

Speaking of reasonable, Skepticality examines pro and con new-skool scientific style.

Also worth noting is that wherever there is weird, there is $ to be made - check out the "mascot" for Rock Ness. I imagine the locals have a lot invested in keeping the mystery going.

I'd like to read the book they discusson the podcast linked above - most of what I've read on the subject over the years was by "believers" and it would be interesting to get another perspective.
