Whaur's Nessie?



LOCH NESS
by William McGonagall

Beautiful Loch Ness,
The truth to express,
Your landscapes are lovely and gay,
Along each side of your waters, to Fort Augustus all the way,
Your scenery is romantic...
With rocks and hills gigantic...
Enough to make one frantic,
As they view thy beautiful heathery hills,
And their clear crystal rills,
And the beautiful woodlands so green,
On a fine summer day...
From Inverneaa all the way...
Where the deer and the doe together doth play;
And the beautiful Falls of Foyers with its cystal spray,
As clear as the day,
Enchanting and gay,
To the traveller as he gazes thereon,
That he feels amazed with delight,
To see the water falling from such a height,
That his heed feels giddy with the scene,
As he views the Falls of Foyers and the woodlands so green,
That he exclaims in an ecstasy of delight -
Oh, beautiful Loch Ness!
I must sincerely confess,
That you are the most beautiful to behold,
With your lovely landscapes and water so cold.
And as he turns from the scene, he says with a sigh-
Oh, beautiful Loch Ness! I must bid you good-bye.

South Australia Simpson Desert - Hot Bed of Alien Influence?


The South Australia State Government has rejected claims the true reason for the closure of the Simpson Desert Conservation Park is "the presence of aliens".
But Environment Minister Jay Weatherill told Parliament yesterday that he could "not entirely rule out the existence of aliens in the park".
"I wish to assure the House that, in fact, no aliens have been detected in the park. But I will qualify that," he said.
"This is Parliament, and it is important that I do not mislead the House. They (aliens) have not been detected, at least by officers of the Department of Environment and Heritage.
Talk about political spin. Hope that doesn't come back to bite (or zap) him later. That said, it does get hot in December and January. Really only suitable for camels and kangaroos.

Given the tough economic conditions and the challenges of attracting tourists to South Australia, there has to be an opportunity for Alien Hunting Holidays. Sort of the South Australian equivalent of Nessie. I mean there are only 176,000 square kilometres of sand to explore for extra terrestrials. That will keep some tour operators busy for a few decades.

Nessie hits China


As part of her world tour, Nessie has been spotted in China.

It is in the Russia News, so it must be true.

He's Back

That most elusive animal, Nessie is back.

Direct from the "Local News" section of a Detroit Website.

Perhaps Nessie spends part of the year in Lake Michigan? I have been to Detroit a few times and I doubt Nessie hangs out there. Not so nice. I have been to Loch Ness a few times and I doubt that Nessie hangs out there either.
