Scientists Find Nessie at Bottom of Loch Ness

Posted on by

One of the things that has intrigued me since I was a kid, and picked up a library book about mysteries is the Loch Ness monster. So many people claim to have seen a giant swimming dinosaur-like creature in the waters of the loch, but no scientific evidence has ever been found of the monster. At least no legitimate, believable evidence has ever been found.

The weird image you see here is something that was found at the bottom of Loch Ness by an outfit called Kongsberg Maritime who specialize in underwater positioning technology. They scanned the bottom of the loch with a robotic device called MUNIN and found what clearly looks like ole Nessie lurking down there.

The catch is that this is a prop used in a movie in the late ’60s called The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes. In the film, Watson glimpses Nessie swimming away in the loch. The scene was actually shot at Loch Ness and used a floating Nessie that originally had two humps. Director Billy Wilder wanted those humps removed from the prop, which led to it sinking to the bottom of the loch, only to be discovered decades later by MUNIN.

Loch Ness Monster Tea Infuser: Take the NessTea Plunge

Posted on by

This Baby Nessie Tea Infuser from OTOTO will cost you $14(USD). It’s totally worth it, because a trip to Scotland costs much more and there’s no guarantee that you will even see the mother, let alone the baby. Now you are sure to have a sighting in your tea cup.

This belongs in your kitchen along with the Nessie ladle. The tea infuser is the smallest in the Nessie line of kitchen products and it is as adorable as the rest. Now when you have a cup of tea, baby Nessie will be sitting in it with his head sticking up over the side.

You can try to take a picture and get proof of your sighting, but it’s just going to come out blurry. It’s a magical power that it has.

Google Maps Brings New Meaning to a Search for Nessie

Posted on by

It is perhaps the most famous monster photo of all time. Appearing in England’s Daily Mail on April 21, 1934, it was snapped by London physician Robert Kenneth Wilson and became known as the “Surgeon’s Photograph.” We’ve all seen it countless times – a creepy snake-like head jutting out of the dark waters of Scotland’s Loch Ness. The image was later discovered to be an elaborate ruse created using a toy sub.

Even though that photo was proven not to be a real portrait of Nessie, many still believe a giant beast actually haunts the Loch. To mark the date the image was taken, Google posted a host of its Street View images of both the surface of the Loch and what it looks like under the surface so that explorers around the world can scan the terrain themselves in search of the infamous creature.

What’s crazy though, is that one of the 360-degree images you can view is titled “Bird, log or monster?” And when you click into it you can clearly make out four small black bumps breaking the surface that look a heck of a lot like Godzilla’s tail slipping back beneath the water. I certainly don’t believe in the monstrous myth, but after seeing that Google pic I won’t be taking a dip in Loch Ness anytime soon.

Loch Ness Monster Ladle

The Loch Ness Monster is real. Really in your soup that is. Whether you believe in Nessie or not, you can get into the spirit of the Scottish Highlands with the Nessie Ladle. With it’s long neck it peeks out of your soup pot, glaring at you with those mythologically accurate eyes (a paradox some might say but who doth sayeth that let ye rest thy mouth foreveth more. or something like that. eth.) What is that in my soup anyway, this tastes funny.

A functionally neat aspect of this soup ladle is that it actually has 4 legs (unlike the real Nessie which clearly has no legs. clearly) so it can stand up either in your soup or on your counter. Or anywhere else you’d stash a ladle.

The Nessie Ladle is made of plastic and measures 10.43″ x 4.33″ x 3.54″. That’s pretty precise.

Technically I guess it’s a ladle, but then again, technically the Loch Ness Monster is a plesiosaur. If it exists. This adorable kitchen spoon/ladle will have you seeing Nessie in every meal you create. When you are stirring your food, it looks like the creature is sticking its head out of the water.

This is a lot safer than encountering the real thing. Plus it helps you serve up a tasty meal. The Loch Ness Monster Ladle costs just $16(USD) and will be available this February.
