Monsters Inc Two

Finally as its the dawn of another New Year, I spotted another couple of those web stories that promote the stranger beliefs out there ....

'Loch Ness' Monster?

the first was that the 'Loch Ness Monster'  had been spotted on Google Earth and can be seen by entering the co-ordinates Latitude 5712'52.13" N, Longitude 434'14.16" W.
 
Actually it looks more like a squid, or even the 'Queen Alien' than 'Nessie'  ....

The second site, seems to be a creationist religious site, but has on it what it suggests are genuine pictures of dinosaurs that are or were still alive until recently ..... I have cleaned all the pictures up (just backgrounds, not main figures), because they were torn or marked, but the originals can be seen here and here.

Again, its on faith that these are 'genuine' .... the first and second both show what I believe is also sometimes referred to as the "thunderbird", but look fake to me. For instance in that second picture, that could just be a spade behind the man. not a tail, and the bird, some kind of vulture.

And the first picture, looks remarkably like this one of another bunch of civil war soldiers shooting yet another large creature or thunderbird (which must have been filling the North American skies at the time! )  ... this has also been declared as a fake (See this post for faking pictures).

Ah well, as I have said before, the world wide web is a wonderful invention, and its sites and photo's like these that make it such fun.

Happy New Year for 2012!

  1. Both photos showing an alleged pterosaur with Civil War Soldiers are fakes. The first has an untraceable origin, but both the creature and soldiers show multiple signs that it is a hoax. The second photo (with more yellow tint) is a known hoax, created by Hexan productions for their FreakyLinks TV series in 2000-2001. For more details on these photos and claims of modern pterosaurs, see: http://paleo.cc/paluxy/livptero.htm

    1. Yes, I hope that we all know that they are fakes .... the point of the post was that it was still good fun seeing all these Photoshop fakes (no matter how badly done), and that despite all the evidence to the contrary there are still those who will believe that they are real. Thanks for the comment paleo.
