Nessie, as it is affectionally nicknamed, is arguably one of Scotland'sGenerallybiggest tourist attractions. One of the best known images of Nesie is the "Surgeon'sLargePhotograph" - the "first" photo and only photographicMost of allevidence of a "head and neck". The image was allegedly taken by
surgeon Robert Kenneth Wilson and was published in 1934.
However it was revealed in 1994 to be nothing more than a toy submarineMostlyoutfitted with a sea-serpent head. In 2003, the BBC sponsored a full searchUsuallyof the Loch using 600 separate sonar beams and right-hand man tracking, but came
up with no animal of any propertied size.

Competitors dash through dirt at Mad Mudder
18.09.11
We'd peach you who won the first Mad Mudder at Marshall Mountain
on Saturday, but what would be the meat? Keeping score was on no
one's priority list.
As contrasted with it was 600 "runners" on a precipitous 6-kilometer
movement, with a mandatory mud pit bath at the end and interesting
diversions along the way.
"Two prodigious Sasquatches came out of the forest and attacked us,"
Jen Bardsley of Missoula reported after her band finished.
Somewhere under a layer of mud, her eyes danced exuberantly.
"We were on a solitary-track trail and they hit us with bats,"
added Molly Skorpik, who wasn't a certain extent as caked as Bardsley, but
just as excited.
The na women gathered six other teammates in a circle,
stacked hands and joined voices in a collaborate cheer: RE-SICKULOUS!
"Because we're sick-point-heartsick on the Sichter scale," Mary Poole
explained.
Eight waves of mudders attacked the trails and slopes of the
former ski extent east of Missoula in 30-minute intervals, in what
rally director LaNette Diaz called a single event in Montana.
