There isn't a LNM ... the photo was faked. The guy who took it admitted so just before he died ... same thing like Bigfoot ... guy was dressed up in a furry coat ...

What you are trying to say is that those two cases were hoaxes. Both animals were reported long before either photo surfaced. It is 99% likely that Nessie has died or no longer existed, but it is unwise to ignore reports comletely. The coelacanth, the saola and the giant squid are all examples of large animals discovered in the 20th century that were long rumored to exist but understood to be mythical by "serious" scientists.

Not true. The infamous LNM photo was fake, but that doesn't mean there ISN'T a LNM. Probably hundreds of photos, videos, etc. have been taken not only of the Loch Ness Monster, but of other alleged lake monsters all across the UK and even North America. There have also been thousands of reported sightings going back even to the Mideivel ages.

That is also very much untrue. No one has ever been able to debunk the Patterson footage (which you're referring to). In fact, some experts who have analyzed it have even said that the creature's gate, walking, etc. COULDN'T have been faked because no human could walk that way, even if they tried.

What a load. There is a Loch Ness Monster and in 89 I saw it myself. I was in Aberdeen that fall and spend every weekend exploring Scotland. One weekend was spend walking the hills on the south side of the lake, away from the major tourist areas. I spent the night at a nice, small inn, and after diner set on the porch talking to the locals. After my fourth or fifth straight scotch I swear I saw her right there on the lake, pulling Bigfoot on a water ski.
