9.9/10 chances this entire lochness monster business is a total hoax, but the idea is wicked cool

excerpt from wikipedia, the "ULTIMATE" free encyclopedia:

The Loch Ness Monster is an alleged animal, identified neither as to family or species, but claimed to inhabit Scotland's Loch Ness, the most voluminous freshwater lake in the United Kingdom. Along with Bigfoot and the Yeti, the Loch Ness Monster is one of the best-known animals studied by cryptozoology, although its existence is not generally accepted by the mainstream scientific community. Popular belief and interest in the animal have waxed and waned over the years since the animal came to the world's attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is almost entirely anecdotal, with minimal, and much disputed, photographic material and sonar readings: despite extensive investigation, there has not been any physical evidence (skeletal remains, capture of a live animal, definitive tissue samples or spoor) uncovered as of 2008. Despite the inclusion of "monster" in the animal's common name, local people, and later many around the world, have affectionately referred to the animal by the diminutive Nessie (Scottish Gaelic: "Niseag") since the 1950s.

i'd totally crap myself if i ever saw nessie.
