Nessy is back or never left or is just some weird shadow

Fabled monster caught on video - CNN.com

EDINBURGH, Scotland (AP) — Like tartan, bagpipes, and shortbread Scotland’s Loch Ness Monster is as much an emblem as a tourist draw.And now Nessie’s back.

An amateur scientist has captured what Loch Ness Monster watchers say is among the finest footage ever taken of the elusive mythical creature reputed to swim beneath the waters of Scotland’s most mysterious lake. (Watch the ‘monster’ footage Video)

“I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw this jet black thing, about 45-feet (15 meters) long, moving fairly fast in the water,” said Gordon Holmes, the 55-year-old a lab technician from Shipley, Yorkshire, who took the video this past Saturday.

He said it moved at about 6 mph (10 kph) and kept a fairly straight course.

“My initial thought is it could be a very big eel, they have serpent-like features and they may explain all the sightings in Loch Ness over the years.”

I don’t know whether there is a Nessy. Obviously, many people believe there is and that’s cool. I know I always thought it was a cool thought that something so large and so old could be living in Edinburgh. I don’t think it is impossible and new species are found every day. We found the Coelacanth is alive and thriving even though we believed it was long gone.

Of course the question you are all asking now is what does this have to do with the usual San Antonio or politics. The answer of course is nothing. I had root canal earlier today after making it almost to forty without even having a cavity and on drugs and so today I am posting about Nessy. Go watch the video, it is really cool and hopefully not a hoax. If it is a hoax what does it matter if for one brief moment we all imagine their is really a Loch Ness Monster?
