The only FAIL here is Frozen's lack of response.

^^ is that a close-up of a dead seal with a couple of "explorers" standing in the background???

not convinced...

I don't see any photographic evidence from your team proving your subject. Argument invalid.

You're always lost!

Loch Ness is the lake

Lochness Monster is the name. Duh.

engineergurl did an excellent job with the write up proving that the Lockness Monster excites. I would like to provide some authentic photos that are all from a reliable source, the internet:

Over the last 400 years, sightings of a “Bigfoot” or “Sasquatch” have been reported across wilderness areas of North America. It is a proven fact that these have continued through today and recently, over the last 70 years, photographs have surfaced. They are photographs of excessively large and hairy, man-like animals with larger than normal human tracks. It should go without saying but I will mention it anyway, that this is the reason for the name "Bigfoot". The term "Sasquatch" was coined in the 1920s by J.W. Burns, a school teacher at a British Columbian Chehalis reservation. Burns collected Native American accounts regarding large, hairy creatures said to live in the wild. Loren Coleman and Jerome Clark wrote that Burns's "Native American informants called these beasts by various names, including 'sokqueatl' and 'soss-q'tal'" (Coleman and Clark, p. 215). Burns noted the phonetically similar names for the creatures and decided to invent one term for them all. That name, Sasquatch, happens to be similar to the word for the beast in the Chehalis dialect of Halkemeylem, sesqac (c=ts). Interestingly, proponents note, Chehalis is in the area where historic Bigfoot sightings are densest, and is generally considered to be, if anywhere is, "Sasquatch territory." The Sasquatch is, in fact, a local clan totem and the band is nonchalant about the creature's existence, except to say that the creature is camera-shy and would rather be left alone.

Dating back to the times when Native American’s solely roamed the wilderness, they told stories of “peoples” of the wilderness. These same “peoples” hold the same resemblance as the current day reportings. The follow link to the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization shows a table of the sightings across the lower 48 states alone.

In other reports, as shown in the next link, a self-proclaimed professional Bigfoot hunter, Rick Dyer, claimed to have shot a bigfoot-like creature in California in September 2012. Dyer invited more than 100 people to come and see the body up close for themselves. "We wanted to get people's reactions, make them believers, and we did it to over a 130 people," Dyer said. "We definitely made them believers."

Below is a picture taken of the body.

This subject is one that is very near and dear to my heart. Growing up, my family had a Bigfoot run in, if you will. Back in the mid 1980's, my parents used to take us camping in the woods of upstate New York. One year when returning from our traditional camping trip, my family hit "something" with our station wagon. My father being the inquisitive man that he is got out to see what it was as it was a rather large creature. Thinking it was dead, he strapped it to the roof of the car and brought it home with us, mainly because he thought he could financially benefit from "the catch". He parked the car in the garage and left it there. Turned out it wasn't dead and it was gone when he returned to check on it. Instead, it raided our kitchen and made a huge mess, mainly because it was hungry. We came to realize that he wasn't harmful but quite friendly. Dad was hesitant, but eventually would let him live with us for a while until he decided to go back into the wilderness. We documented our experience with it up until it decided to return home. I have also attached a few video clips of that experience as postive proof.

Here are a few photographed sightings mentioned earlier:

I trust that the above information and references are more than sufficient to support the claim that Bigfoot is in fact real and not folklore.

^ Ever hear of a show called "Finding Bigfoot" on Animal Planet? Regardless, the show is called Finding Bigfoot. Not Found Bigfoot. I'm not convinced.

Poor supporting argument. Finding Nemo: Nemo was found in the end.

Loch Ness is the lake

Lochness Monster is the name. Duh.

1.9 million Google hits for Loch Ness Monster. 159K for Lochness. You'd better call Google and get this sorted if you want those points back.

It's not our fault that 1.9 million people are wrong.

Again, bad argument.

Not impressed.

 

[engineergurl]

I find it ironic that in spite of the historical and scientific proof that I provided, you are focused on the space between Loch and Ness or lack there of. And by the way, I'm sure your one google search provided you just as much research as I did in the hours it took me to sort through the bogus stuff idiots post on the internet and find the truth.

 

[Sapper PE LS]

Hmmm. Okay, I guess it's time to post the poll. I'm guessing we'll get almost as much interest in voting for a winner as we got in meeting the challenge.

 

[NJmike PE]

so who can vote?

 

[Sapper PE LS]

anybody and their aliases

 

[Sapper PE LS]

This challenge isn't solely about writing the winning argument.... it's about winning.

 

[Sapper PE LS]

Oh, and the poll is now at the top of the thread.
