The Lochness thing looks to me like it could be a Whale as well, the characterisitic is that of like, a smaller Whale coming to the surface. There are certain species, who's name escapes me now, who's surface profiles are so tiny they look like other stuff.
But I gotta say, I love Crytozoology, having a kean interesting and qualification in Zoology myself, Crytpozoology is awesome. On a random comic related note, anyone here read Proof? Thats a great comic!
Cryptozoologic Thread
Cryptozoology is the opposite of science. I watch MonsterQuest religiously, to laugh. Cryptozoology is like Intelligent Design. They have no solid evidence, just things they claim to be evidence. They also do the whole science testing backwords. They start with an idea they tell the world is true, then try and gather evidence furthermore proving their theory. If there is no evidence, they have an excuse and say, "It's still out there." If you're one of those real scientists, your theories change because of the data collected and analysation, theories always change, psuedoscience (Cryptozoology, Homioapathy, Reflexology) never does. This garbage is in the same boat as people who think the moon landing was faked. The world isn't this complicated folks, and there's a lot more cooler things going on in the world of science, but most of you (you as the American public) are too lazy to look it up.

yeah good point and scientifically speaking there isn't any food source that the creature can eat to support it "
Also, you know the two guys who started this whole thing? The ones who took this picture...
You all know one of them came out and said it was a fake? Right? the guy who started it as a joke with a toy submarine (or boat) and some clay. If the guy who started this faked it, everyone else probably did.

You know some creatures that were once labeled as Cryptids have been found right? The Platypus, Coelacanth, the okapi, and so many others. Yes its not really a branch of science but without it some of the stuff thought to be out there, wouldnt have been proven found. I honestly don't see that the Lochness Monster being found. But it makes one hell of a story. I simply think that sometimes the unbelievable can be found, if that makes sense.
And by saying that the American public is too lazy to look things up is simply rude and insensible. Whats wrong with having different beleifs? Simply because my own aren't the same as yours makes me lazy? Really when you come up with a much more sensible arguement, post it. Because so far I find yours lacking in substance.
By the way, I dont think the Lunar landing was faked at all. Even I trust our scientists more then that.
"inferiorego said:"but without it some of the stuff thought to be out there, wouldnt have been proven found" I know a decent amount about the Platypus and Okapi, nothing about the Coelacanth. Now, those two that I do know about were discovered. In the Okapi's case, it was considered a mythical creature. That was discovered almost on accident when scientists both visited a pygmy village (excuse me if some of this is moderatly off, it's been quite a while since I've gone over this stuff) and discovered the animals there. As for the Platypus, that was discovered in the late 18th century. Cryptozoology was formed in the early 1980s. The only way they could help discover the animals is if they built a time machine. You don't just believe animals exist and wait in the bushes to appear. That's what these guys do. We'll even take the Giant Squid, which is a Crypto's favorite thing to talk about. It was discovered in 2004, in Japan, by Whale Watchers, not by cryptos. It happens on accident, it's a discovery. By the way, these guys now claim that one the size of the Kraken exsists. Sadly, there's no evidence to back it up, so no deal."Cryptozoology is the opposite of science. I watch MonsterQuest religiously, to laugh. Cryptozoology is like Intelligent Design.

As for your second paragraph: The majority of the American populous doesn't care about science. It's true, and me stating that in no way is rude. As for what's wrong with people having different beliefs? Nothing, until certain beliefs affect others in a negative way. This statement is mostly aside from Cryptology. Lets say someone is having dizzy spells. Said person has had them for many months we'll say, and instead of going to a doctor, the person follows a friends strong adive and sees a new age crystal healer. Based on the fact the friend has strong beliefs in crystal healing. The person goes to crystal healing and gets a over-priced treatment. The "healer" says it will all take effect in a few days to a month. Patient dies in that month from a brain tumor, hoping they could bank all their money into crystal healing instead of seeing a traditional doctor. As far fetched as this may sound to you, it happens more fequently then you'd think. I recommend looking into Sedonna Arizona for all your psuedoscience mumbo-jumbo, where things like this happen often. I can recommend some books or shows on the subject if you'd like.
However, being the good skeptic that I am, IF it ever comes out that any of this DOES exsist. I'll believe. Hell, I may even apologize to anyone I offended. However, I will stand by the fact that I didn't believe until concrete evidence came out.
A valid argument you say? As much as I'd love to sift through old posts of me goofing on people to somehow try and better myself in your eyes, I'll pass.
+2 points for not believing the crazies on the moon landing.
"Because so far I find yours lacking in substance"
+1 point for sassing me
