		I suggest you check Loch Ness's altitude sometime
		soon.  At 52 feet above sea level (according to the
		Encyclopaedia Britannica), no matter how deep the
		Loch is (and it gets deeper than 700 feet, even),
		the likelihood of a hole leading to the sea somewhere
		is about the same as the existence of Nessy.
		Not to mention the absence of salty Lochwater!
