or the monks heart in a piece of lead gutter piping becoming the Bruce heart, even Historic Scotland can be guilty of this, |

The Bruce heart was replaced in the book by the DOuglas heart. |

Here's where Douglas and Bruce tie together:
When he died in 1329 his body was buried at Dunfermline. His heart was removed and taken on the Crusades by the Black Douglas (Sir James), who, just before he was killed in Moorish Spain, hurled it at the enemy.
The heart was recovered and taken back to Melrose Abbey where the new king, David II (Bruce's son), had asked for it to be buried. |

Goody goody goody! And where do the man in black enter into the story? They have to be in it!
Boo and I volunteer to play the love couple part in the movie. Me playing the initially sceptic scientist that suddenly smells he's onto something big. Has never been in love before but meets Boo, the seductive village librarian with a mania for fighting "the system" who want to know what ate her favourite nephew.
Alex can play the part of the young village cleric which joins the couple in their hunt for the truth.... Maybe Maegan can play the part of the tabloid journalist hunting for a scoop annd entering a platonic relationship with the cleric. |

That's not even a tooth (look at the base). I suggest it's the pulled-out horn of a young deer, or perhaps a wild goat. |

That's a strange thing to do considering where he wanted his heart taken to-Jerusalem. |

It was Bruce's wish to go on a crusade against the Infidel, once Scotland was free, but he could not fulfil this pledge. Instead his heart was carried into battle in a leaden casket by James Douglas. Douglas died in battle hurling the casket into the heart of foe. It was brought back to Scotland by Sir Keith Graham of Gawliston and is now interred in Melrose Abbey. Bruce's remains are at peace in Dunfermline Abbey. |

People who tear their heart out are dead within seconds. He wouldn't have power to throw it anywhere. Why don't you try for the money Boo? $100,000 is a good chunk of cash. |

Are you now having a conversation with yourself?
I see that link says, basically, 'it's a fish'.
Well whoop de doo, there's a fish in a loch. |

Yes certainly does look like half a polished crab claw. Strange how it took two U.S students about ten minutes to find evidense locals ahve never seen! |

Um, because Loch Ness is a tourist spot and people are making money off of the legend. Anyone finding evidence would almost certainly seek to profit off of it. While there are undoubtedly some altruistic inhabitants of the loch, I find it extremely unlikely that all these things, if they existed, would only found by those who seek no publicity or profit.

Please explain why this is so. |

So it's a fish.
You are aware of what a fish is, right? And a loch?
Ooooooh, spooky!
Chary, my point exactly. |

Not if what they found would blow the lid off the "friendly Nessie" myth that's been flowing around for centuries. I think when people learn they can be food, they may stay away. |
