A giant, 100ft (30m) long water snake known as the “Borneo Monster” has allegedly been photographed not once, but twice.
According to local legend, the Borneo Monster (locally known as a Nabau) is a terrifying snake over 100ft in length and with a dragon’s head and seven nostrils.
The two pictures show the giant snake at two angles. The first shows the snake swimming down a remote river and was taken from a helicopter. The second shows the Borneo Monster near a remote village.
Like most so-called monster discoveries, the debate centers around whether the pics are real, or photoshopped. LiveScience notes that the source of the photos was not disclosed, a sure sign of a scam. The Daily Mail quotes The Straights Times where the photos first emerged, where readers suggested that the shots are photoshopped, or show respectively a speed boat, and a log.
They’re unlikely to be legit, but you can be the judge.

I was at a bar once on the Island of Mull (the town of Devaig) and watched a heated debate about the existence of Loch Ness. This one is just the Nessy on holiday.

I cannot agree. It cant be true. I have followed snakes my whole life and i am damn sure that someone has used software to edit these UNREAL!!!!! pics.

What always gets me about things like this (Bigfoot, The Loch Ness Monster, Aliens) is that people are so easy to believe that it's fake. But when it comes to things like religion, God, Jesus, people INSTANTLY say that God is real, even though there is no proof.
Sure, somethings are obvious. Even these look fake.
But the fact that people just write something like this off, something that is totally possible because there are mutant animals all the time, really gets my goat.
How some people can have faith in a completely mythical god, and not in science is beyond me.
I think that it is totally possible that there could be a 100 ft snake. Mutations from polution happen all the time.
There are catfish in the Ohio river as big as cars!

Who's to say that the other photo isn't the fake one?
I mean, it's pretty obvious that THIS one is fake, but you can't always tell with things like these

The top picture was taken from a helicopter. So, you're a person with the wherewithal to fly around in a helicopter for whatever reason, and you take a picture of a monstrous snake, and then you just let it get circulated without taking any credit for it or saying that you found it. AND you only take ONE picture? You're in a HELICOPTER! And you have a DIGITAL CAMERA! You could snap 50 pics from various angles, altitudes and positions. The head is the only thing above water and you can see the rest of it's underwater body– where's it going to hide?
Take another bong hit.

Like I said, you fucking idiot, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THIS ONE IS FAKE.(read my comment above yours) I never once said that this picture was real. I wish you morons would READ something all the way through before you jump in like you're the fucking pro on whatever the subject is. You're not. You know just as much about this as I do. I was just stating a FACT and that fact is that no one knows for sure.
And if one photo is fake, then why is it COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE that the other one could be fake. I was just fucking saying.
And for the record, you pompus little brat, I don't smoke pot. So try harder next time you try to insult me, emphasis on try.

Ok. Try #2:
You have only your parents to blame for their poor genes, and inability to be selective.
How's that?
Feb 22, 2009
Inability to be selective. How does that even apply here?
And bad genes? Because I am open minded, and I don't believe everything the media says?
I'm sorry, but the only one with bad genes here is you. You attack people for thinking outside the box, and not being a brainless little zombie that believes everything that is thrown in your face.
And yeah, pull the parents card like you're some kind of smart guy. Are you still in highschool? Trying to get personal? Go ahead, be a child. Did you have to look those “big words” up in the dictionary to make yourself sound smart?
Oh, you know what I think it is. I think you're a little christian. I'll bet that my religion comment hit home.
But, see, in arguing with me, I win. I like to incite arguments. I like debates. Not necessarily this one, because you're an IDIOT who, obviously, took something I said a little too personal. Please, just give up on the negitive comments about me. You don't know me at all. You don't know my parents. You know nothing. You have no basis on anything you say about me. And even if you DO know me, you still can't win, because you're saying it over an internet message board, instead of to my face.

I'm from Mull. The village is actually called Dervaig, with an 'r'. I've always known dervaig folk were far from the sharpest tools in the box (shallow gene pool, you see) but it suprises me to hear that they'd actually argue over the existence of a well-known body of water like Loch Ness.

you'd figure we'd have the technology to legitimately photograph/film something like this by now. such bull.
