Dear old Nessie. Of course she exists. She brings jobs to the shores of Loch Ness ....... How can she do that if she doesn't exist ?

It must be about time for the annual sighting. Spookily enough, just at the start of the toursit season.

Huh?
The Loch Ness monster is an investment by the Scottish tourist board. Mainly rich American and rich Japanese tourists fall for it.

It's basically the same construction as the one where you can check to see if you are related to William Wallace. Which of course 99% of tourists are...

Personally I hope he does exist and that I live to eat a Diplodocus burger

He heh. Good post, ivanhoe.

So, in summary: To any objective observer, Nessie is clearly an imaginary figment; yet there exists a contingent of like-minded individuals who delude themselves and/or systematically perpetuate the belief in this imaginary Being for their own gain. That sounds strangely familiar.

The man who took that famous, grainy photo purporting to show Nessie in action confessed to faking the whole thing. It really is unfathomable that anyone could still take that one seriously.

Yes.

I asked local man Ivor McTaggart who breeds Haggis on his farm to feed to Nessie.

He assured me, just as he shot a 200lb Haggis, that Nessie was alive and well and that Nessie would eat well tonight.

If a man who breeds Haggis believes in Nessie then who are we to disagree?

I haven't heard the job argument before, though. Interesting twist. It could easily be applied to religion, too.

Of course she exists, why do you think there aren't any more wild haggis running around in the glens near there anymore?

Well there are certainly plenty of monsters in the local bars, that's for sure......
