I don't know what kind of distribution Dr. Seuss gets in the UK. But
apparently that was not a crucial part of Marc's childhood.

Marc, I stand behind your theory 200%. (In the middle though, so you
can't see me on the big screen, not at either end where I'll be
exposed.)

Further(field) evidence is that the Loch Ness monster may also be a
left-over dinosaur. That living in Scotland, it must have a very
poor diet. You've seen those old ladies with thin necks and ankles
and are big and fat in the middle. There's a connection in there
somewhere.

On second thought, don't. I will just call you "Hank or Norbert".

Imagination is my reality…

I am getting the impression that the dinosaurs I am referring to may be pos=
sess a middle gawe spread, that extra lump of fat in the middle, love handl=
es some people like to call them.

It is an issue that the Loch Ness Monster has eaten much of the fish from t=
he lake, although it has survived so far on straying tourists, mostly the o=
ne's that have fallen into the water. Also the locals keep it alive by feed=
ing it haggis, a local diet. A haggis is a small animal native to Scotland.=
Well when I say animal, actually it's a bird with vestigial wings - like t=
he ostrich. Because the habitat of the haggis is exclusively mountainous, i=
t is always found on the sides of Scottish mountains, it has evolved a rath=
er strange gait. The poor thing has only three legs, and each leg is a diff=
erent length - the result of this is that when hunting haggis, you must get=
them on to a flat plain - then they are very easy to catch - they can only=
run round in circles.
After catching your haggis, and dispatching it in time honoured fashion, it=
is cooked in boiling water for a period of time, then served with tatties =
and neeps (and before you ask, that's potatoes and turnips).

The haggis is considered a great delicacy in Scotland, and as many of your =
compatriots will tell you, it tastes great - many visitors from the US have=
been known to ask for second helpings of haggis!

The noise that haggis makes during the mating season gave rise to that othe=
r great Scottish invention, the bagpipes.

Many other countries have tried to establish breeding colonies of haggis, b=
ut to no avail - it's something about the air and water in Scotland, which =
once the haggis is removed from that environment, they just pine away.

A little known fact about the haggis is its aquatic ability, scottish local=
s have seen small groups of haggis swimming in Loch Ness.

Haggis are by nature very playful creatures, and when swimming, very often
swim in a group - a bit like ducks - where the mother will swim ahead, and
the youngsters follow in a line abreast. This is a very interesting
phenomenon to watch, as it looks something like this :

The long neck of the mother keeping a watchful eye for predators.

This does however confuse some people, who, not knowing about the haggis,
can confuse it with the other great indigenous Scottish inhabitant, the Loch
Ness Monster, or Nessie as she's affectionately known, who looks more like
this :

From a distance, I'm sure you'll agree, the tourist can easily mistake a
family of haggis out for their daily swim, as Nessie, this of course gives
rise to many more false sightings, but is inherently very good for the
tourist industry in Scotland.

The largest known recorded haggis (caught in 1893 by a crofter at the base
of Ben Lomond), weighed 25 tons.

In the water, haggis have been known to reach speeds of up to 35 knots, and
therfore coupled with their amazing agility in this environment, are
extremely difficult to catch, however, if the hunter can predict where the
haggis will land, a good tip is to wait in hiding on the shore, beacuse when
they come out of the water, they will inevitably run round in circles to dry
themselves off.
