WHILE a number of mysteries about the future of pharmacy are being sorted this week at APP2019 on the Gold Coast, there's another mystery that many are disappointed to learn may also have been solved.
The mystery of the elusive Loch Ness Monster may have a simple answer, if you believe it.
After years of study by naturalists, scientists and sceptics, it has now been shown to probably not exist, which may prove inconvenient for the Scottish economy to the tune of around 41m a year.
The Loch Ness Monster problem is a classic in that it is harder to prove something doesn't exist, than it is to prove it does - eg., the multiple gods we name, fairies, yetis and more.
At last, after many years of investigation, Nessie fever may now have a vaccine - it's accepting that the sightings are of the wels catfish, the second-biggest freshwater fish in the world - but then, do you still believe that?

Awkward - because some of the signs were across shelves displaying bottles of Durex Play 2 in 1 Massage Sensual.
