        How would you compare the moon landings with Pearl Harbor?

        What nationalism does to someone.

        One is a global, milestone event in the history of humanity. The other was one battle during a World War which had already seen many battles before the US got involved and would see much worse. I don’t know if anyone outside of the US gives a shit about Pearl Harbor. Haha

        The moon landing is definitely more important.

    An old tale meets modern advances as the search for the elusive creature uses new underwater drone tech.

    Monster-hunters are converging on Scotland as the biggest search in decades for the elusive Loch Ness Monster gets underway.

    Thermal drones will produce images of the water from the air using infrared cameras and a hydrophone will be used to detect any “Nessie-like calls”.

    “We are guardians of this unique story, and as well as investing in creating an unforgettable experience for visitors, we are committed to helping continue the search and unveil the mysteries that lie underneath the waters of the famous Loch," Paul Nixon, General Manager of the Loch Ness Centre, said.

    The first mention of a strange water monster in Loch Ness appears in an ancient text from the sixth century AD.

    A companion was sent out to test the waters and, on seeing the monster, so the story goes, Columba made the sign of the cross and banished it to Loch Ness.
