'Sea Monster' Spotted in England - Coast to Coast AM

We resist the urge to sigh at this latest story which features excitement over "something odd swimming in an estuary" seen "too far out" at sunset but which nonetheless was enough to be described as "looking like a Loch Ness Monster." Cooler heads prevailed, thanks to a local who observed it through binoculars, and nope, it wasn't Nessie. Also, telling us it wasn't Nessie is a New Statistical Study Links Sea Monster Descriptions to Dinosaur Discoveries. This is an attempt to draw correlations between that which can be quantified and that which cannot be explained. This report tells us that discoveries of dinosaur fossils have affected the descriptions of sea monster reports. Of course, The Sometimes Unloveable Media are running with this study, trying to explain away as many water beastie reports as possible. But Nessie is not so easily dismissed, as she has been described in consistent fashion throughout Scottish history, long before dusty bones were being brushed off and delivered to museums. But it seems the Media and public obsession with the Loch Ness Monster has taken on a life of its own, with innumerable headlines linking Nessie sightings to increased dino knowledge--in spite of her being mentioned in the aforementioned report only once. Perhaps even the fickle media must admit they are a wee bit enamored with Nessie, and who could blame them? (LP, CM)
