Apparently over 100 of the triatheletes competing in the VisitScotland Adventure Triathlon on 23 July have had themselves insured against injury from Nessie attack.

Competitors will have to swim two laps of Urquhart Bay, where Nessie has been seen most often, and they are apparently quite concerned.

The insurer (NIG) conceded it was an unusual risk which many insurance companies would not consider. Hey, I guess that money is money and Stubb Newell was right when he said “There’s one born every minute.”

Here’s the article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/4651679.stm

There is a version in Great Slave Lake too. It made National papers the week before I left. I went to a lecture and it came up and the fear in his eyes said it all.

Um when I did the folklore collection for the Muse. of Civ there was a water dragon in the St. Lawrence River Valley as well but her was a gaurdian that dissapeared with they started converting to what missionaries were telling them. I got notes on the someplace. Haven't unpacked that box yet and put it into storage

So we got them all around.

shouldn't surprise me. Every culture has something like dragons in it somewhere.
