General Tsao invades Scottish Highlands

From the AP:

In China, hunt on for Loch Ness Monster

LAKE KANASI, China --The moon is barely a crescent in the sky as dusk darkens the milky green surface of Lake Kanasi.

Four people huddle on the edge of a floating wooden dock, eyes scanning this mountain lake near China's remote northwestern frontier with Central Asia.


In a soft voice, Yuan Guoying recounts his two sightings of the creatures. The first over there, from a cliff, Yuan says. Then again, 19 years later.

From the group comes a squeal as tiny, silver fish dart at hunks of bread they have dropped in.
"Look! There are so many of them!" says one girl. "But where's the lake monster?"


Normally, my answer to that would be "In Scotland you assmonkey--where Loch Ness is located." But apparently Scotland recently became China. I need to keep up on my world news.
