Fewer people are reporting sightings of the legendary Loch Ness monster in Scotland, prompting concerns that skepticism about its existence could threaten tourism in the region.
There have only been two reports of sightings this year, compared to three in 2006 and much lower than a decade ago, when the annual number sightings was consistently in the double digits, The Times newspaper said Saturday.
"It's becoming a potential crisis," said Mikko Takala, 39, a founding member of the Loch Ness Monster Fan Club who runs four webcams on the lake's north shore.

I hate to break the news to everyone, but I caught Nessie last year and had him / her stuffed. I had to add on to the house to bring that monster inside, but (my oh my) what a conversation piece.

Fewer people are reporting sightings of the legendary Loch Ness monster in ScotlandMy sincere apologies to the people of Inverness, but it wasn't on the endangered species list.
Tastes a lot like chicken.

When asked about the reasons for his recent lethargy the Monster replied: The war in Iraq, Global warming, and that George W. Bush.

I blame YouTube.
If there isn't a video of it on YouTube, it doesn't exist.

I think it moved to Texas. One day, Mr. M and I were sitting out on the dock when something poked it’s head out of the water and looked at us. It stayed perfectly still for a few seconds and then went back under the water. Neither of us said anything for a couple minutes until I couldn’t stand it any more and asked if he’d seen something too. To this day we don’t know what it was. It wasn’t exactly a fish but it was more fish-like than mammal.
