Loch Ness Monster is found (sort of)
The New York Times published a story [nytimes.com] indicating that the Loch Ness Monster [wikipedia.org] has been found. Well, sort of.
After many decades of folklore and research, the Loch Ness monster has finally been found by an underwater drone.
O.K., it was just a movie prop version of the fabled sea serpent that sank to the bottom of the Scottish lake in 1969 discovered by researchers hunting for Nessie’s lair. But still, that’s also pretty cool.
Researchers found the 30-foot prop, made for the 1970 Billy Wilder film “The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes,” 180 meters down on the bed of the lake in April. It had sunk during production in 1969 and a new Nessie was created for the film, which starred Christopher Lee and Robert Stephens.
If only today was April 1st!
