a Swedish council has been asked to explain why it placed a mythical monster on the country’s endangered species list. they have also denied permission to a business man who wanted to search for eggs in order to raise monster babies.
legend has it that the giant serpent, similar to the Loch Ness
monster, has lived for centuries in Jaemtland’s lake Storsjoen, Sweden’s fifth largest lake.
now if the British government could only persuade Sweden to let Britain have a few of these eggs, then we could release some Swedish monster babies into Loch Ness providing some company for poor old lonely Nessie. they might even interbreed and produce a few hybrids which could only enhance Swedish-British relations and add to the Scottish tourist industry.

seems its ok to shoot our ruddy ducks because they are shagging european ducks and watering down the species though...

What if they eat Nessie, and then menace the locals? |
|
| |
Ogopogo can kick-ass on both of them. |

link to swedish monster info, please? |

Never introduce foreign monsters into the land, just in case they breed like rabbits. |

<swedish trivia> I learned this week
that at one point ABBA were Sweden's
biggest importer of beef. There was a
limit to the amount of foreign currency
they could transfer from Brazil to
Sweden, so they imported beef
instead.</swedish trivia> |

Didn't import Dragon eggs then. |

What [Aerythes] said. Introduction of even normal species is irresponsible. Introduction of foreign monsters is doubly so. |
|
| |
too much in-breeding in these shy lake creatures cannot be a good thing either. |
|

Like bicycles for fish, give 'em monster trucks. |

My local pet store had a prank up for April Fool's last year and kept it up for quite a while...in one of their fish tanks they put a little toy Nessie all the way in the back behind some rocks, and put a price for "BABY LOCH NESS MONSTER" at $10,000. As it turns out, several people inquired as to the housing requirements of such an animal. Stupid people. |

Ha! Lochness is that the one that rhymes with crotch stress? |
|
| |
No! silly FJ. I was hoping for more serious input from you my friend! |

best one-liner from po's first link: "For about 20 seconds at a distance of 300 yards he saw a long neck followed by a hump swimming idly by for about 20 seconds." |
|
| |
It didn't have a hump when you saw it? |
|
| |
well, it looked well pissed off! |
|
| |
I went on a tour of Loch Ness once, and the monster wasn't out... I should have called ahead. Rats! |
|

I'll trade you two Sasquatch babies for one Storjon lake monster egg. They are twins and they’re house broken.
Heavy on the broken. |
