A word about cryptolinks: We are not responsible for the content of cryptolinks, which are merely links to outside articles that we think are interesting, usually posted up without any comment whatsoever from me.
Another cryptozoological blogger, Dale Drinnon,
has put up a post recently on the Surgeon's Photograph which can be found here.
As readers may know, this photograph was exposed as a hoax by Alastair Boyd and
David Martin in their expose book some twenty years ago as a model neck attached
to a toy submarine.
Though most accept this (including myself),
others continue to raise questions about the book's theory. Loch Ness
researchers such as Henry Bauer and Richard Carter have questioned the theory
and Dale is the latest to offer his thoughts and claims that the model would be
unstable if fashioned in such a way.
Now I admit that I have my own questions
against the theory, but accept that the pros for the case significantly outweigh
the cons. But let us look first at Dale's claim that the model would simply tilt
over. The picture below (not from the Boyd and Martin book) is a suggestion as
to how the model may have looked.
