#1 I'm really not sure, but since dolphins are mammals, I would presume they wouldn't mind fresh water, after all there are dolphins in the Amazon river IIRC.
But, I agree, this is not very realistical.
I much prefer the krazed killer dolphins with neurotoxin-tipped dartguns on their back who went hunting for humans (most of them black people forced to feed on the dead) after the NO levees were blown up by Halliburton.

#2 Plus they're crazy American cowboy dolphins. They might've *started* to look for Nessie and then swam off to call in a airstike on the Firth of Forth, before heading to the Glasgow Starbucks...

#3 This was all before the guy admitted his famous photo was a hoax but still its pathetic. The UK government was going to spend money on something every scientist could easily discount.

How many Nessies would be required to keep a viable population alive? How long could a single Nessie live? We've ether got an eternally lasting Nessie or they are all over the place underfoot. The beast does not exist.

#4 Then there is always the danger of cross-speciel breeding.

#5 Let me break in a moment and tell of my own Nessie sighting. Summer 87 I'm messing around on the Urqheart castle ruins with friends. Taking pictures and swordfighting with sticks. When the film was developed we saw in the background a distinct silouette of a neck and beak coming out of the water with a wake trailing behind it.

Damn we were excited. Big money, fame, fortune. HOw did we not see it while we were there? We dug through other photos until we found it again. This time with a bit better lighting. This time we could see the boat. You see the beak was the outstretched arms of a waterskier.

How many Nessie sitings didn't have the second photo for comparison? Or had the second photo hidden from prying eyes?

I'd love to believe in Nessie, or Tahoe Tessie and all the other Dilophosauri out there but I can't. Bigfoot ate them all long ago and that is all there is too it.

#6 

Last week, Japanese scientists explaced... placed explosive detonators at the bottom of Lake Loch Ness to blow Nessie out of the water. Sir Godfrey of the Nessie Alliance summoned the help of Scotland's local wizards to cast a protective spell over the lake and its local residents and all those who seek for the peaceful existence of our underwater ally.

#7 Yet more papparazzi stalking innocent cryptids. Don't we have enough problems as it is, with the declining breeding pools and vanishing food sources?

Let my people go!

#8 hehe Seafarious :D

I just wish people would leave our stealth subs alone , we have only just managed to make it stream-line in water ... the paddles were the issue if anyone is slighly interested
