The Science of Sea Monsters

From Live Science comes an article by Cryptomundo commenter and managing editor of Skeptical Inquirer, Benjamin Radford. The Article details the pervasiveness of sea monsters on television and in the news today. Several of the items mentioned in the article have been detailed on Cryptomundo here in the recent past. From NBC’s Surface, to the cover story in the December 2005 issue of National Geographic, sea monsters are here to stay.

Also mentioned are the filming of the giant squid by a team of Japanese scientists and the fossil remains found of the prehistoric creature nicknamed "Godzilla".

Mr. Radford has also co-authored with fellow skeptic Joe Nickell a book titled, "Lake Monster Mysteries" that is due out in May of 2006. He also has an article about Ogopogo in the current issue of Skeptical Inquirer magazine. I see on Amazon’s site that our own Cryptomundo blogger Loren Coleman wrote the forward for the book. Should be interesting.

Ben, you will have to send me a signed copy.
