Loch Ness Monster and other beasts and monsters: Are Nessie and others just a tourist conspiracy?

loch-ness-monster

I probably know the answer to his already, but the amount of people I talk to from foreign shores always ask me about “Nessie” The Loch Ness Monster, Real or Myth

I have been up several times to Lock Ness and the scenery is just SPECTACULAR up there

The question always gets asked, so I thought I would do a blog on it before the Football starts on the TV.

I personally always believed it to be a money making Myth, I don’t think the Scottish Tourist Board would love me for saying this, but the chances of a prehistoric monster in this Loch is, well, absurd I guess. The most famous photo out of the many is this one here, this is the most iconic image from thousands

For me, I think that is an Elephant underwater, do quick research of when the picture was taken and you see right away a Circus was in town, could it be an elephant under water? It would not be unheard of, Elephants do swim, the image below could be taken as “Nessie” if you seen it from the other side of the loch, maybe…

The Monster Legend started around the 6th Century AD and it rolled from there, could all these people be wrong? Could a family of Monsters be living 100 miles from me in a body of water?  If so there would 100% have to be an unknown way to the Sea, as the fish life in the Loch would not be enough, the size of the loch are as follows

Area56.4 km²

Length36.3 km

Width2.7 km

Surface elevation16 m above sea level

So a fairly big loch and the mystery will keep going despite my blog and hundreds of Discovery Channel type Documentaries on TV. It is one of these Myths like Bigfoot or Chupacabra, Jersey Devil, Champ the American version of the Loch Ness monster based in Lake Champlain Quebec or most recently the Montauk Monster in New York America, Also the Fiji Mermaid, Ogopogo Canada’s Loch Ness Monster that lurks in British Columbia’s Lake Okanagan to Vampires and all in-between

I guess we will never know, logic tells us “Awww come on” and we laugh, but we never know. Strange things happen on this blue globe, and be them tourist attractions or real, they are sure fun to discuss

Do you have an opinion of any of the above, or a story to share? If so, please do

Say what you want, it’s and interesting topic, the Plum Island (New York) is something I have researched and a few odd things have appeared. So, what are your thoughts? Feel free to throw them my way, I neither believe or disbelieve. I am a “Proof” type of guy, there is more proof than not proof, so I don’t know. To dismiss out of hand is maybe wrong.

Fun debate I hope..

I would like to thank fellow “Blogger for peace”  DAY ONE Barbara @ http://looneyatoms.com/ for bringing this to my attention. I seen on another bloggers page the “Bloggers for peace” badge and stole it, lol. I had NO idea there was a Blog for it here http://everydaygurus.com/2012/12/20/we-can-make-a-difference-right-here-right-now/  from everyday gurus I just thought it was a cool saying. So I am going to join this, and once a month do a blog on the Peace movement. Anyone that knows me, will have picked up, like Barbara did, I am a Blogger for Peace, so I was part of it without knowing I guess.

I would say EVERYONE has a look at this, because one blog at a time, one reply at a time, one song, one saying, just trying, we may get Peace. I won’t give up on it, and I know you won’t either. Anyone that craves War, craves it for financial gain, or is a Soldier who likes War. As a Blogger for Peace, I would say these people are the architects of War, and they must be stopped

I will add the “B4Peace” to my blog here, in a show of solidarity with others who crave peace as I do, I love it, and it speaks to me in a way of Peace

This here is in my Blog and has been since the start http://prayingforoneday.wordpress.com/about/ Under “Why I hope” it says:

We live in an world full of love, but also we are fed violence through the media. A world that is more connected through technology, but less connected than ever as people.

We don’t interact, and the world has become a corporate machine, where money  rules over the heart.

One person at a time, one blog at a time, one conversation at a time, we CAN change our world

Shaun

So all along my ideology of Peace was there, I just didn’t know it. But I will add more.

I think we live in a world where War is for profit and blood flows all over for a small percentage of people can add an extra zero to their bank balance, they make me sick. I did a blog a while back, and the theme was “We don’t want war” http://prayingforoneday.wordpress.com/2013/03/11/this-picture-speaks-1000-words-kindness-and-hate-war-all-in-one/ This picture below speaks volumes, A man from the USA and a Man from Iran, at the London Olympics sharing a Hug. We the people don’t want war, we want peace, we want to love and share and help where we can, we want to share cultures and be part of each others cultures and give a shit.

Kindness on a GLOBAL scale, we don’t see this much do we?

Kindness on a GLOBAL scale, we don’t see this much do we?

So I throw my hat into the “Blogger for peace” movement and if you give a shit, yes YOU, join in. I am aware any day War could be on my doorstep, and this is the ignorance sometimes, if we can’t see war, we are immune to it so we don’t give a shit. But for the people all over the world in War, at War on in Civil War, we must put ourselves in these people’s shoes to show we give a  damn about them. We must blog and the then blog some more, and then just in-case, blog again against this Global War Machine I hate with every fibre of my being. If you have morals and love and care, then take 20 minutes out of your day and join this “Bloggers for Peace” movement, the more who do it, the more may listen. Never say never. Once I  thought WWIII was a given, it was going to happen, now I am not so sure. We are close. Name a county not in, or at war or in civil war, you will be hard pushed to produce a list with any substance.

So we must all come together, the VAST MAJORITY and say, with one voice “NO” We don’t want to kill each other. And tell this 1% to take their money, run for the hills and let people who will rule FOR US not against us, and allow these people to run a world where hope can be seen, where solidarity can be felt and expressed, where we can say to a fellow human, from anywhere “Are you ok”  I am in, and I will be in harder and harder, as this is a subject close to my heart and my being, this is just my opening blog, expect harder blogs than this to come, I hope I can do “Bloggers for peace” some justice

DO IT!

After seeing all of this, take the 20 minutes, or deny ignorance!
