G+_Richard Sequeira Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Loch Ness Monster believers are in a fluster over these satellite pictures from Apple maps. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/10775966/Has-Apple-maps-found-the-Loch-Ness-Monster.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_David Harter Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 That story is a paradigm of what I generally term "fruitcakery." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_David Harter Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I reference this quote from the article: "After studying the image for six months, and with apparently no other obvious explanation, the Club has concluded that shadow is probably the Loch Ness Monster." That is beyond silly, and I warrant it has no place on Twit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_David Harter Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Is it your position, then, that an urban legend is an appropriate topic here? I am curious. I have no issue with humor--or even with foolishness, for that matter--so long as it is not paraded as fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Zulhaimi Abdul Hamid Posted April 20, 2014 Share Posted April 20, 2014 It's a trending topic on Google+ and it's tech related. Yeah. It's silly but everyone knows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
