You threw me when you said "caught it" in your headline! :-)

In these days of photoshop they can have just about any monster they want in Lake Champlain. Grainy photos of a vague image are boring.

Lets see a clear and obvious pic of Godzilla or the Green Gargantua poppin out of the Lake. Or....GASP....Hillary....no that would be too terrifying.

For future referrence, should I legitimate story of a pliosaur capture, I intend on posting it to breaking news.

I ain't believing it till I see the thing strung up on a dock and 5 different zoologists say "yeah, ain't nothing I've ever seen before". A video of something moving around in murky water doesn't prove jack to me.

The 'Cashman controversy' must be affecting Vermont's bottom line, so it's time for the Chamber of Commerce to drag 'ol "Champ" up out of the mothballs.

[who knows what evil?]

The Champ frenzy began in the 1880s when P.T. Barnum offered $50,000 for the capture of Champ dead or alive.

Champ is older than Leahy, Sanders, and Jeffords combined? Wow. P.T. Barnum...major clue regarding Champ's origins.

"A video of something moving around in murky water doesn't prove jack to me."
