SCOTLAND'S mythical Loch Ness monster has been warned - it is about to be exposed.
A team of researchers is heading to the iconic site to trawl for traces of genetic material from the lake, and use that to catalogue organisms living there.
While Newsweek thought this approach could resurrect the mysterious monster, it could also identify others that live there who may have been posing as Nessie.
Neil Gemmell from the University of Otago said not many people are interested in his team's DNA research, but Nessie is a great hook to raise interest.
"Large fish like catfish and sturgeons, have been suggested as possible explanations for the monster myth, and we can very much test that idea and others," Gemmell said.
Keep on swimming, Nessie!
an American jogger is feeling a little sore - as well as very satisfied - after accidentally running a full marathon rather than just half of the course.
26-year-old Mike Kohler says he wasn't really paying attention at the start of the Fargo Marathon, and "so when they said 'go', I went," he said.
Unfortunately he was part of the full marathon contingent and only realised his mistake after about 12km, by which time it was too late as he was on the longer course, so he "just kept going".
