Moon Dancer Bipolar (III) Inmate From: The Lost Grove Insane since: Apr 2003	posted 07-31-2003 01:31 I just thought this an interesting bit of fluff - something light in the world of tedious and disheartening headlines. According to the BBC, the Loch Ness Monster is a myth. I suppose in a way, the headline is disheartening to believers in Nessie... However, despite the proclamation from the illustrious BBC, I am sure the legend of Nessie will endure.
