    Did anyone see "Monster" last Monday on Skiffy (SyFy); io9 didn't report on it: what did you guys think? If we needed "anime for non-anime fans" this would seem to be it. #monster #anime

    Its over there! Right behind you. Aggh, run!

    It would be kind of cool to find that the creature is real, but I am going to guess it is a simple case of mis-identification.

    "borrowing" reptiles? What do they borrow, your shovel? your fence post digger? Money?

    I think you meant "burrowing."

    I'm willing to buy this one on hope and faith and anecdote alone.

    Or to put it another way: there is a significant difference between a handful of five foot worms hiding in a 500,000 sq mi desert and a 25 foot long dragon-fish-osaur hiding in a Scottish pond.

    I LOVE cryptozoology and it's just great when I see stories like this on i09. Regardless of the validity of evidence and the reputability of the people involved, it's great to see the study, which I've been interested in since I was a kid, get some positive press. And I guess by positive I just mean non-mocking, since that's usually the best I can hope for.

    @Kpibca: When we actually see things like gigundo spindly squid or immortal sea creatures, I wonder what else is out there, even if the stories are exaggerated or erroneous. I just admire/wonder at the sanity of people who chase down the especially deadly legends.
