[QUOTE="Rhialto, post: 2538228, member: 630"] Jacob looks Agent Brown levelly in the eye. [COLOR=Lime]"When I was in England researching Loch Ness, back in the 90s, I made an interesting discovery--there wasn't anything there. There were a lot of tourists showing up, there were a lot of nutters seeing things, but there was NOTHING that justified all the hype. Hype that the British government had encouraged. So I dug a little deeper. Turns out virtually every lake in Great Britain has some legendary monster in it.
