One side effect of this #UFO nonsense is that other crazies are coming out as well. A couple of weeks ago, I shared a sensational #Bigfoot headline that turned out to be a dud. Today's entry is on the #LochNessMonster. Society is doomed. DOOOOMMEEDD!

For #cryptid fans, enjoy this loving portrait of an enormous #LochNessMonster expedition. For those who don't want to believe, it's also a wonderful write up of #CitizenScience in general. ❤️ you #Nessie, wherever & whatever you really are. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/loch-ness-monster-hunt-largest-decades-rcna102002

Imagine a row of Cormorants diving for fish in the morning fog and a DRUNK SCOTSMAN. A myth is born... #Nessie

A search for the Loch Ness Monster ends without evidence of existence.

You know that Loch Ness monster search thing ...

I mean, is it just scientists want to do some science thing and they need funding and sponsorship so they pitch it as:

We looking for monster!

And the media buy it (or pretend to) and everyone is distracted and the most that will come out of it will be some useful science and water pH twenty miles down or something.

Is that what it is?

#LochNessMonster

This is a nice, silly quest for enchantment in the world. It is nonsense that people still refuse to let go of. It says a lot that people can be distracted by a mythical #monster hunt because we dread the awful reality. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-66633215 #cryptids #lochnessmonster #cryptozoology #nessie

“Thou shalt go no further, nor touch the man; go back with all speed.”

The first recorded sighting of an aquatic monster connected to Loch Ness appears in Chapter XXVIII of Adomnán’s VITA COLUMBÆ (“Life of St Columba”), c. 7th/8th century CE

Partita la più grande caccia del mostro di #Loch Ness. Come potremmo meglio definirla?

1) Una enorme perdita di tempo;

2) Un'accolita di sconclusionati;

3) Una grande trovata pubblicitaria.

A massive hunt for the fabled Loch Ness Monster got started this weekend. Maybe it’s just a good excuse to deploy thermal drones. Gizmodo explains how an independent research team will attempt to detect any heat signatures lurking beneath the surface. https://flip.it/ixiADk
#Culture #LochNessMonster #Myth #CryptoZoology

I get wanting the #mystery, but the notion of the #LochNessMonster is absurd. There isn't some giant unknown #species lurking beneath the waves of Loch Ness. There can't be. For there to be a #creature, there has to be a #population that has proliferated and thrived for many, many years. It would have to be a large population with biological diversity that exists as part of a larger food chain. If it was real, there would diverse evidence of the species, but there's not.

What's not to love about a massive hunt for the #LochNessMonster

My fourth time swimming in Loch Ness, I finally captured this photo of “the monster”.

It was whispering dirty words in a language I couldn’t understand but it made no threatening moves. After a few minutes I got the courage to swim slowly back to shore.

LOL. First sighting or mention of the Loch Ness monster happened today in the year 564 or so. I knew I shared my birthday with some cool names but Nessie as well? 🦕
