Lock Ness Monster has relatives
Mokele-MBembe and Cadorosaurus, considered modern remnants of
prehistoric reptiles
By: Janet L. Hanson
Natives in the jungles of Africa and modern day scientists on expedition
have reported the existence of reptiles as tall as 18-feet, they are
known as the Mokele MBembe, and closely resemble a sauropod dinosaur,
said Dr. Don Chittick, a PhD. Physical Chemist, inventor with several
U.S. patents, lecturer and university educator.
Chittick explained the contradictory theories of creationism and
evolutionism and gave information on puzzling artifacts, identified by
scientists as OOPArts (Out-Of-Place Artifacts), during a series of
lectures at the New Song Bible Church in Sagle,ID. Other topics included
Questions on the Origins of Man, Earth’s Origin and History, Dinosaurs
and the Puzzle of Ancient Man.
The out-of-place and time reptile, Mokele MBembe, hibernates most of the
year, said Chittick. It is a reddish brown in color, and lives in
swampland and marshes. Witnesses have described the male as having
dermal spikes while the female has a longer neck, stands 18-feet tall,
and has one pup approximately every 20 years. He said it also has a head
shaped like a python. Though some individuals have likened the
appearance of the swampland herbivore to that of a brontosaurus
dinosaur, Chittick said brontosauri are not scientifically factual
creatures.
In the same area as Mokele MBembe, according to Chittick, scientists
have found spiders with a six-foot leg span and 30-inch body. He said
the spiders spin a strong thread across a trail to trip their prey of
small animals.
In addition, he said there have been multiple confirmed sightings, over
the last 60 years, along the west coast of North America, of “sea
serpent-like” creatures, which may be a relative of the thought-to-be-
extinct marine reptiles from the dinosaur age. Chittick said the
creatures, named Cadborosaurus, after Cadboro Bay where the sightings
occurred, resemble a serpentine animal with a head, tail and flippers.
Photographs taken at the Naden Harbor whaling station, at Queen
Charlotte Islands, show a well-preserved 10-foot baby “Caddy” found in
the stomach of a captured whale, according to some reports.
However, Chittick admits scientists do make mistakes, like those made
regarding the brontosaurus, triceratops and T-Rex.
According to Chittick, there is no such creature as the brontosaurus.
The paleontologist, who reconstructed the first skeleton attributed to
the brontosaurus dinosaur, erroneously included a skull found two miles
distant from the skeleton body.

This one I do believe in. He's shown up much more often than "God" and
actually helped explain away a puzzle as to the feeding habits of apatosurs.
The natives, who could have said it was some mythical "people-eater"
explained that it ate low hanging fruits over the swamps...which actually
solved a mystery.

Well, bearing in mind that when Apatosaurus was around there were no
flowering plants such as those which produce edible fruits (it is an
upper Jurassic dinosaur), it poses more of mystery than it solves.

Not to mention that it propagates the old myth a sauropod "lives in
swampland and marshes". Sauropods were terrestrial animals, similar in
build to the modern elephant.

This is either a description of my greatest nightmare, or the logpile
besides the shed at my cottage.
I was intrigued for a moment until the author broke out the monster
spiders...definitely a credibility killer.

Actually, the mis-identification of the Mokele Mbembe as a sauropod is a
very old bit of obfuscation by Chittick. There is nothing of the news
about it.

Because of the American Focker Effect, or the disinclination toward
soft consonants?
Christ, a duel typo, since I said "vowel" when I meant "consonant".
Basically:
"Loch" sounds like how it's spelt according to the most common
pronunciation rules regarding spelling, with the exception of the final
consonant, that is a soft, throat-clearing sound.
If I were to say "lock" in an English class for to mean mean "loch",
I'd have been misunderstood or criticised.

I think it's because we don't want to sound like Germans. ;-)
Seriously, soft "gh" and "ch" sounds are almost never heard where I grew up.
This in spite of the fact that the place I grew up had a lot of German ancestry
in it (aka "Pennsylvania Dutch", not really Dutch at all but German). I know my
grandmother always used the "Augh!" exclamation, which she pronounced correctly
(She could speak some German). I've since adopted it, but it's the only word I
pronounce with that throat-clearing sound. ;-)
And therein, I think, lay the problem. Americans aren't used to making soft
"gh" or "ch" sounds, so we have to focus on them. In so doing, we tend to drag
them out a good bit longer than more fluent speakers of languages that use them.
That makes them sound even more like throat clearing. Never, ever EVER do
anything to make an American think of phlegm. We hate mucous with a passion
(which is why I'm mystified at the popularity of okra in certain places). An
inexperienced American attempting to make a soft "gh"/"ch" sound is just a
_very_ mucosal-sounding thing. It's not "Loch Ness" to us, it's "LoCHHHH Ness".
See what I mean? We almost can't carry it off without getting spit everywhere.
:-#
I guess the "disinclination towards soft consonants" is right in most other
cases, though. In U.S. English, some soft consonants tend to come across
sounding like speech impediments.

LoL! Pretty much the opposite here, I would think. Adults would understand,
but other kids would probably wonder why you're clearing your throat every time
you say the word "loch". As for me, I promise to do my best to pronounce it
correctly the next time I have occasion to say the word. Even if I have to spit
on my audience as I do it. ;-)

The guttural 'ch' consonant sound *is* in some forms of modern English, but more
towards the middle of the tongue rather than at the back.
Try saying the name "Hughie" but raise your tongue slightly in the middle as you
say the 'hy' sound - you will pronounce a consonant sound very similar to the
German 'ch' in 'ich' - the German word for the first person personal pronoun
'I'.
I don't know how Americans pronounce the Far Eastern car manufacturer Hyundai,
but in the UK the 'Hy' is pronounced in a similar way - hyun-day, not hee-un-day
or high-un-day or even high-un-die.
Some extreme Liverpudlian (people from Liverpool) accents use the guttural 'ch'
sound on words such as 'back', which is pronounced 'bach' but with a short 'a'.
Ringo Starr is the ex-Beatle with the strongest Liverpudlian (or "Scouse")
accent and he uses the 'bach' form on occasions. (Nothing to do with the fact
that he is married to Barbara Bach).

Actually, I thought "duel" was spelt "dual" and that "dual", meaning
for two people to fight, was an adjective-come-noun, like "wireless"
and "multiplex" -- derived from stuff like "dual controls".

Certainly! It is neither spelt nor pronounced "lock" -- It has a soft

The only NATURAL body of water in Scotland that is actually called a "lake"
is the Lake of Menteith. There are two other man-made "lakes", Pressmennan
Lake and Cally Lake. All the rest are called the more traditional "Loch",
and there are dozens, IIRC.

More like hundreds I would have thought. If I recall correctly there are
also "Water"s (from the Norse vatn) and "Shun"s (from the Norse sjon) -
see maps of Shetland, possibly also Orkney and Caithness.

Are you asking about "lakes" or about "Lakes"?
