Loch Ness Monster Finally Identified
Forensic Artist and private investigator William McDonald, finally identifies what Loch Ness Monster may be.
(PRWEB) April 7, 2005 -- After nearly 1,500 years of conjecture, it appears the Loch Ness Monster may finally be identified. According to American Forensic Artist and private investigator William McDonald, the famous lake monster known as Nessie is neither a plesiosaur or prehistoric reptile, but a real, predatory species of water animal possessing the ability to hunt on land.
In the winter months of 2004, McDonald photographed tracks left by a large animal on a mud-covered Loch Ness shoreline in an area south of Invermoriston, just off the A-82 highway. Movie footage may be viewed at http://loch-movie.tripod.com. Weeks later, McDonald was contacted by two American university students who had just returned from a Spring Break trip to Britain. The students provided McDonald with video tape footage of the remains of a 200-pound Highland red deer carcass, found in a boat-only accessible area known to local fishermen as a Kill Zone. The deer appears to have been torn in half, its pelt ravaged. (there are no bears in the Scottish Highlands). But the most shocking find was a shed animal tooth found wedged between the deers exposed ribcage. The tooth is barbed, well-rooted, and measured nearly four inches in length!
According to the three eyewitnesses on the video, shortly after the find, the tooth and several video tapes were confiscated by a local water bailiff. Highland authorities were uncooperative in the students efforts to have their find returned. The salvaged footage and photos of the tooth have been posted at http://www.lochnesstooth.com, along with a $5,000 reward for any information leading to the return of the Nessie tooth.
Mr. McDonald is coordinating the students efforts to have the tooth returned. He can be reached at Argonaut-Grey Wolf Productions in Mesa, AZ. PHONE: 480-330-7553.

Hooliganism, the "good"? old days... Good God, it's all fun and games til someone loses an eye. Rock fights; ball-bearing wrist rockets; bottle rockets; BB-gun "projects"; lighting of packs of fire crackers near those who *may* not appreciate it ... and other mischief, not good. Jumping fences and skating in empty pools, probably highly illegal. ...90% of that stuff is illegal now, I'm fairly certain.
Now, about "Crap" Circles, once again, there is NO TOURIST $$ involved here, none!

Too bad fireworks are illegal to buy and/or set off in many states. You know some whining parents and liberal politicians ruined it for us ALL
No, and THER IZIN' NO NESSIE EITHER!
Poor kid has crabs?
"Apparently, Mary (Queen Of Scots) saw "Nessie"
while being held captive in Castle Urquhart. My
mom read the book that's from (she doesn't remember
what one, it's been a while) & Mary wrote about
a large fish monster in her journal. Of course, she's
not the only opne in History to have seen it".
That bit of info is fascinating. Have to feel sorry for her, sitting by the window in her dungeon, seeing something so unusual and not being able to tell a soul.

'nuff said. Stupid hoax.
One heck of a tooth. If it is real, theres a good reason for the bailiff to make it disappear it would be bad for tourism. People will flock to the site of a fictitious monster, but if theres a chance they could end up like the deer?
I suspect that the tooth didn't belong to the Loch Ness monster at all. Rather, I believe it to be sound evidence of a rare encounter with the mysterious "Mexican Biting Moose". They are more commonly found in Sweden (and none have been ever been actually seen in Mexico, but we know they're there...)
It's Hillary.
That's what I was thinking - Just doesn't look like any sort of tooth - it just isn't a functional design.
And when you consider crabs will munch on decaying flesh....
If the $5K reward is legit, then it would just about be worth finding a crab claw and adjusting it for the reward.
Nahh....it could get it's nourishment from a feeding tube until a black-robed dictator decides to pull the tube....
Bingo! Antler. The deer got into a fight with another deer and lost. Then he got half eaten, sounds like, by fish, if half the carcass had been in the water. That would have looked like he had been torn in half.
Naw. Every 20 years or so it emerges at and meets up with the Sasquatch for purposes of procreating.
Thanks, mystery solved.
A MacChupacabra ?
No, no, no, no... Jack the Ripper is actually the Loch Ness Monster!
Mark
That's an spike antler from a young buck.
Nellie: We was so scared, Lord have mercy, I jumped up in the boat and I said "Thomas, what on earth is that creature?!"
Thomas: It stood above us looking down with these big red eyes,-
Nellie: Oh, it was so scary!
Thomas: -and I yelled. I said, "What do you want from us, monster?!" And the monster bent down and said, " Uh I need about tree-fitty."
Kyle: What's tree-fitty?
Thomas: Three dollars and fifty cents.
Nellie: Tree-fitty.
Stan: He wanted money?
Thomas: That's right. I said "I ain't giving you no tree-fitty you goddamn Loch Ness monster! Get your own goddamn money!"
Nellie: I gave him a dollar.
Thomas: She gave him a dollar.
Nellie: I thought he'd go away if I gave him a dollar.
Thomas: Well of course he's not gonna go away, Nellie! You gave him a dollar, he's gonna assume you got more!
Thomas: I said, "Dammit monster! Get off my lawn! I ain't giving you no tree-fitty!" It said, "how about just two-fitty?" I said, "Oh, now it's only two-fitty!! What?! Is there a sale on Loch Ness munchies or something?!"
Nellie: Lord, he was angry.
Thomas: Damn right, I was angry!
Nellie: Not you, the monster. He was about to kick your ass.
Thomas: Aah, shut your mouth, woman!
