I don't get it. How come every picture of Nessie, UFOs and everything else we hear of is always so blurred as to be almost indistinguishable? I guess that ordinary people can be unreliable witnesses and photographers, but did Google Earth get drunk and forget to focus properly? :blink:

Well, I have an idea to solve the mystery once and for all: heat-sensor technology flying over Loch Ness.

I am rather split on the issue...

-Redneck VP-

Or we could go fishin for that bastard with some dynamite... maybe a missle or two. :twisted:

-logical VP-

I think a heat sensor maybe could suffice but what if we can find a device big enough to focus on the whole lake at one time... if there truelly is a "monster" I doubt he/she is going to hold still long enogh to get it's picture taken. so one would either need many of these sensors and use them at the same time, or you would need one large enough to pick up the whole lakes reading at one time :ugeek:

It's more that even a satellite gets so excited by the idea of taking a photo of Nessie that its hand starts to shake and ... wait ... :unsure:

I'm impressed that people figured out how to make a do-nothing place into a tourist attraction in 565 CE. I thought this was a modern idea.
