The Picts were a confederation of Celtic tribes located in the modern day Scotland. The location of these strange carvings and the many sightings give evidence that the monster lives in Loch Ness. The location of the Loch Ness Monster is a legend that started in Scotland. Loch Ness, the loch where Nessie is thought to be, is about twenty-two and a half miles long and between one and one half miles wide Loch Ness is about 754 feet deep, giving this unknown animal plenty of room to live. Locals at Loch Ness claim that the tunnels and caves underwater lead out into the ocean, allowing the Loch Ness Monster
Many myths & legends have been told in the past centuries. Stories about dragons, giants, & beings not from this world. Of course, if people in this day & age heard you speaking of such ludicrous, they’d think you’d be insane. Some might say that as well about the Loch Ness monster, but is it really a myth? There have been several sightings in the past & even some researchers believe it exists.
(History.com) Later on in the 1900 hundreds, there were several more reports of ships being hit by what was said to be a freak wave or rogue wave. One of the most famous ships to get hit by a rogue wave was the Queen Mary. In 1942 while carrying 15,000 American troops 608 nautical miles (700 mi/1,126 km) from Scotland during a gale, RMS Queen Mary was broadsided by a 92-foot (28 m) wave and nearly capsized. Queen Mary listed briefly about 52 degrees before the ship slowly righted herself. (live science.com) One of the most memorable rogue wave occurrences was on October 30, 1991.
Bradley brobst English II 12/14/09 Is the mega shark real or myth? Too many people believe that the megladon (mega shark) is not real, but the people have not seen the evidence of this horrific creature. There have been many sightings, photos, and some sort of video that can be plausible. Many bones of the great shark have been found of the shark. The shark is to be said that the length of the shark is about four times the size of a full size great white shark and about the width of a car.
One important discovery Shubin made is Tiktaalik, which is a 375 million year old fossil. Tiktaalik is a fish that has scales and gills, but its head is flattened like that of a crocodile. Like most fish, Tiktaalik’s fins have ray bones enabling them to paddle in water, but the most amazing thing about it is that it has interior bones which allows it to lift off of the sea floor, something unordinary for a typical fish. It would use its limbs for support like a tetrapod. Shubin shows how fin structures of fish like Tiktaalik mark the beginning of the evolution into the mammalian paw and opposable thumb structures in the hands of today’s primates.
Perhaps the most well known place to see great whites is Dyer Island, which is off the coast of South Africa. Its main food sources are fur seals and sea lions, but they will also hunt large fish and sometimes other sharks. Some of the characteristics of a great white that make it unique is that

It's better known as the cinematic home for violence and car chases in films such as "Grease" and "Terminator 2." In the 1990s, the conservation group American Rivers placed it six times on the list of the country's 20 most threatened and endangered rivers. In 2010, however, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency declared it a "traditional navigable water," allowing for Clean Water Act protections, officials said. The river ultimately ends in the Pacific Ocean at Long Beach, California. Another maiden kayaker this week, Councilman-elect Mitch O'Farrell, almost capsized during his adventure.
So if someone is ‘playing God’ it means they have the power over life and death. In the film Blade Runner, directed by Ridely Scott and the novel Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, the ethics and consequences of having the power over life and death; ‘playing God’, are brought into question. Tyrell, a robotic designer in ‘Blade Runner’ creates robotic humans, the Nexus 6, which are indiscernible from a human, they have a four year life span. Victor Frankenstein creates life in the form of a Monster, whom he later wishes to destroy. Both men are
Size does matter. The Tacoma Narrows bridge was started in September of 1938. Once the deck of the bridge was set, the bridge would move, earning it the name of Galloping Gertie from the construction workers. Four months after it opened in 1940, it collapsed dramatically, as a gale force wind caused the bridge to contort like a bull whip. Leonard Coatsworth, an editor at the Tacoma News Tribune, drove onto the bridge: "I drove on the bridge and started across.
