- jmontes, on 10/11/2007, -5/+111If you haven't seen the video yet -- don't get too excited. Keep your expectations low and maybe you won't be disappointed.
- Psykus2, on 10/11/2007, -2/+102Did he ask for $3.50?
- phantomsnow, on 10/11/2007, -7/+71giant unidentified object in a body of water sounds like a terrorist threat. put the loch ness monster on the ***** terrorist watch list is what i say. we go to war with the loch, ***** their ***** all, and nessie surrenders.
***** technology, drop bombs on the bitch - Cutkomp, on 10/11/2007, -0/+64Why keep waiting for camera footage? Throw some round the clock thermal imaging type stuff on the lake for a week or so. With technology these days you gotta think that someone could use something besides a camera to locate the largest creature in the water. Surely a private company would have done something by now with that as to prove it exists would be a cash cow.
- deepdiggdude, on 10/11/2007, -1/+58ANSWER:
Watch the video very closely and you will see the shape spread out and advance sometimes in two directions. This is caused by a school of fish, much the same way starlings form dark patches in the sky when enough birds collect together. Note that nothing actually breaks the surface. - ZWarren69, on 10/11/2007, -1/+58i told dat god damn lock ness monsta i aint givin him no tree fitty
- enlightenme, on 10/11/2007, -0/+42The logical explanation here is that there is a 1000 year old monster that doesn't breed and roams the lake, occasionally rising above water when nobody is looking.
- redlemon, on 10/11/2007, -8/+49simple answer:
there is no such thing as the loch ness monster. - synclare, on 11/26/2008, -1/+39If your town/country made a big chunk of money from international tourists looking to see a "monster" - then you'd probably keep the joke going too.
- leetdood, on 10/11/2007, -4/+42Loch. it's a ***** loch.

scotland is not in england. scotland is in scotland. - pogfreak, on 10/11/2007, -19/+52I'd prefer more pics of the snog tees girl
- musicmixingguru, on 10/11/2007, -3/+36next thing we find on digg will be bigfoot
- davehendrix, on 10/11/2007, -3/+35They guy that took that bigfoot footage, of course, later admitted on his deathbed it was faked.

The problem is that people put too much credence in it without any hard evidence. Sure, it's a possibility, but so far all of the hard evidence is against it, and all of the purported evidence for Nessie is either a confirmed fake or obviously not real.
While being open to new possibilities is a good thing, it's too easy to take it too far. Just because it's a possibility doesn't mean I shouldn't be critical of it without any evidence. - Spikito, on 10/11/2007, -3/+34Is it just me, or does that guy have a HUGE forehead?
- jivemasta, on 10/11/2007, -1/+30Yeah, we can see what jupiter's core is made of but we can't look a couple of miles under water on our own planet.
- redlemon, on 10/11/2007, -8/+36@ooliquidnightoo
wow. looking at it like that pretty much convinces me it was just a man in a suit. great gif! - TwistedRonin, on 10/11/2007, -2/+29I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of law against using those methods. I mean it's not good business to have a myth thats a tourist attraction debunked.
- redlemon, on 10/11/2007, -0/+26you think so? i thought it looked like a blurry line moving in the water. this doesn't even come close to some of the recent UFO hoaxes i've seen.
- kitwaites, on 10/11/2007, -18/+44@gxcdesign
The "amateur scientist" has a retarded accent, not Scottish. The UK equivalent of a redneck.
@hdtvdust
Evil, pain, injustice, multiplicity of religions and Occam's Razor are five arguments against God. - oOLiquidNightOo, on 10/11/2007, -8/+33amateur scientist .. isn't that an oxymoron?
- xtmno3, on 10/11/2007, -0/+22@Spikito (#6968337) said: "Is it just me, or does that guy have a HUGE forehead?"
So big it is a fivehead. - j0eb0t, on 10/11/2007, -1/+22what if the loch ness monster was just blurry in real life?
- Jolene, on 10/11/2007, -4/+25I need tree fitty...
- RocketSeason, on 10/11/2007, -1/+22One can only hope...

"Evil, pain, injustice, multiplicity of religions and Occam's Razor are five arguments against God."
He said there is no evidence against god, not arguments. for every argument for god, there is one against it, but neither constitute evidence.
Would you want to live in a Universe where God held your hand and disallowed pain and evil and forced you to be a good person? if you think that pain and evil are reasons that god cant exist means you would rather live in a universe with a tyrant who controlled you and never let you think for yourself, learn for yourself, and experience the range of emotion and truth we are capable of experiencing.
would you rather live in a universe where god was obvious and everyone knew he was there?
people have such screwed up ideas about god -- including those who practice religious beliefs. the best god lets you choose for yourself. this means evil and pain for some. but it is better. - Sakk, on 10/11/2007, -3/+22pfft, send the google van over there. It catches people coming out of strip clubs, surely it can catch nessie eatin your lootz.
- Sylveran, on 10/11/2007, -0/+18It's a crashed weather balloon! :P
- GhostWithToast, on 10/11/2007, -1/+18When is somebody going to 'accidentally' videotape Nessie with a hi-def camera on a tripod?
- modifiedbears, on 10/11/2007, -3/+19Before you go laughing this off look at the research.
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/lochness/legend2.html
"Although zoologists have yet to conduct the full-scale investigation Rines hoped to trigger, the loch continues to yield intriguing sonar hits. In 1987, an expedition called Operation Deep Scan used a flotilla of 20 sonar-equipped boats to sweep the loch with a curtain of sound; the operation yielded three underwater targets that could not be explained. In the early 1990s, the BBC's Nicholas Witchell helped organize Project Urquhart, the first extensive study of the loch's biology and geology. Although they weren't looking for monsters, the expedition's sonar operators detected a large, moving underwater target and followed it for several minutes before losing it. And during the 1997 expedition featured in NOVA's Loch Ness film, Rines and his longtime colleague Charles Wyckoff detected yet another puzzling underwater target. According to the expedition's sonar expert, marine biologist Arne Carr, it was a moving target, appeared to be biological in nature, and was about 15 feet long—the size of a small whale." - lkmbrd, on 10/11/2007, -3/+18More compelling footage from Toyota:

- spearce, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15do you have to go to school to become an "amateur scientist?"
- nemobushido, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13"Amateur scientist" is no oxymoron. It just means you aren't a professional scientist. That's no contradiction.
Also, no. Your kid is an "immature" scientist. - CapeKid, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11"I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out of focus monster roaming the countryside. Run. He's fuzzy. Get out of here."-Mitch Hedberg
- silverchrysalis, on 10/11/2007, -6/+15the 'amatuer scientist' guy looks a wee bit crazy, och?
- praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -4/+13Bigfoot is my favorite animal.
- SixesJones, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Hell, I've had Loch Ness monster dozens of times. It tastes like chicken.
- snapcase, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Why are "amateur scientists" like this bozo given such credibility? He says that the legend of Nessie stands up to scrutiny? Yeah right. Sorry but there is ZERO scientific evidence that a large aquatic creature like Nessie could live and sustain itself in an inland lake like Loch Ness. For Nessie to actually live in the Loch, there would have to be a sustainable population of the creatures to have existed for the millennium and a half they say Nessie has existed. So now to make the story plausible you have to have at least a large handful of these gigantic creatures in an inland lake, that would need to eat more than what a lake that size can provide, and even supposedly breath air, and the best we can get is a blurry picture of something vaguely beneath the water?! If Nessie were real there should be dozens of clear sightings every single day, and there should also be crystal clear photographic evidence by this time as well. Instead what we get are people who are either foolish enough to believe they saw Nessie, or are just out for the attention, that pop up every now and then with an "eye witness testimony" or some blurry photographs or video that are so vague and can be explained convincingly as something normal so easily that it's laughable. I would love for Nessie to be real as much as most people, but people have to take it upon themselves on occasion to actually open their eye's and realize the truth that is staring them straight in the face. Dreams and fantasies are nice, but in the end that's all they are.
And in my opinion it looks like a log. - Mast3rDigg3r, on 10/11/2007, -3/+11yeah, obviously a huge monster
- DEFSMAC, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9if by a team of divers, you mean 10,000, then yes they could easily find it with scuba gear, because lock ness isn't only like 23 miles in length or anything large like that....
- DeFex, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8OMG its the loch ness FISH, OTTER or RC BOAT
OCH EYE.
they do this every once in a while to bring in the tourists.
it works almost as well as bleeding religious statues for bringing in the suckers!
funny how the government doesn't have spy cameras there like in the rest of UK - lavoie0ca, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6"The myth of the [LNM] has been around since 540 AD." -- Article
Buddy who faked it before wasn't the creator of the myth. - Suislide, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9Never thought about it before.....good idea. We have the technology for it, why not? (Price, i know. :-( )
- ajchavar, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6they did try that, underwater remote controlled cameras too, the water is very murky, with visibility of only a few feet.
- Phil246, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5oh he's native im afraid - just from yorkshire, england.
the UK has loads of regional accents - lhbaker, on 10/11/2007, -5/+10Isn't just about everybody an amature scientist? Any moron with a microscope is an amature scientist. My seven year old daughter is an amature scientist (but she's not a moron).
