Scientists plan DNA hunt for Loch Ness monster next month

3. The Loch Ness Monster doesn't exist. I wish it did, but it doesn't.

Certainly the monster in the photo exists only as a sculpture perched atop a toy submarine and then photographed.

It would be so cool if what most people suspect, that the 'monster' is a superannuated pleisiosaur cut off from the ocean when the Loch formed at the end of the last ice age, is true. But there is absolutely no evidence of it.

In fact, the only 'monster' we know of for sure to be in loch is a prop monster which sank in the loch during the filming of The Private Life Of Sherlock Holmes.
