"Despite having hundreds of sonar contacts over the years, the trail has since gone cold and Rines believes that Nessie may be dead, a victim of global warming."
What's that?
Why, we're talking about the Loch Ness Monster, of course!
After 37 years of searching for "Nessie," 85-year-old American, Robert Rines is calling it a day.
It seems he is finally getting too old to continue his search for the Loch Ness Monster.
"World War II veteran Robert has devoted almost half his life to scouring Loch Ness."
"He started in 1971. The following year, he watched a 25ft-long hump with the texture of elephant skin gliding through the water."
"His original trip was to help another monster hunter with sonar equipment and quickly identified large moving targets."
"He was smitten and returned the next year, which is when, he says: "I had the misfortune of seeing one of these things with my own eyes."

It would be a real shame if global warming is what finally did Nessie in.
Wouldn't you think some other critters in the pond would have had the same fate?
Maybe something would have washed up on shore somewhere?
I guess everything just sunk.
Yep.
Pity.
