Underwater Sonar Robot Discovers A Real Loch Ness Monster (Prop) (discovery.com)

A Norwegian oil company is finally performing a sonar scan on the bottom of Loch Ness, creating a high-resolution map of the Scottish lake that's reputed to contain a mysterious lake monster. "Operation Groundtruth" will be using a marine robot named Munin, and they've already identified a 27-foot-long shipwreck and disproved rumors of a 27-foot-long "Nessie trench" where the cryptid creature could be hiding. The Scottish tourism agency has issued a press release about the robot's discovery of a life-sized model of the Loch Ness monster used in a 1970 film, which had sunk during the filming more than 45 years ago. "The agency's statement said 'Nessie found'," reports Discovery News, "with an asterisk at the bottom reading 'replica model'."

    My god .. the stupidity of that site is unbounded. And I could refute many of their "points" just by looking at the same evidence that they were presenting.

    Never go here. You might suffer an aneurism. And then they'll replace you with a double.
