Tidbits
The Vikings are now 6-0, the Vikings are the only unbeaten team in the NFC. But questions remain, mostly about the offense. The defense and the kicker have provided most of the punch. They travel to Detroit for a game with the Lions which was a real test. They have only scored four offensive touchdowns which won’t win the games in the future. Well… after Sunday they are no longer the only unbeaten team in the NFL.
Naturalist Adrian Shine, 76, moved to the Highlands from his home in Surrey in 1973 after becoming fascinated by sea serpents. He founded the Loch Ness Project - a research and natural history enterprise to explore the depths of the lake and the monster tales. Adrian has since spent decades studying the stories around the famous Loch Ness Monster. He has now said he has enough evidence to declare that the Loch Ness Monster is only a legend - built from decades of perceptions caused by natural phenomena.
Norwegian Joke Ole was apprehended stark naked one night on main street. When the policeman asked him, Ole tried to explain his nudity. “Well, I was a Swingers party, me and Lena. Then, someone said, “let’s get our clothes off and go to town.” So, I did and I was the only one that made it into town.” Uff da.
