The kids of the Irn Bru nation...

So, in an effort to get Apple Maps working more popular than Google Maps, the spectre of Steve Jobs has been integrating some supernatural spirit photography into the app.

For those of a cryptozoological bent, they've spent hours scouring satellite imagery of Lake Champlain for evidence of Ogopogo, the Congo for Umbongo Mokele Mbembe, And Urquhart Castle for the Loch Ness Camel.

And lo, Nessie hunters discovered Nessie caught on Apple's Satellite cameras! Lookit!
Hold up, that's no pleasureyourselfisaurus! That looks like a great big fuck off trilobite!

"No, Xym, that's clearly a boat, with a bow wave at the front, and rippling out waves as it passes through the water!"

Yeah, right. Show me the boat then! That's one big bug! A trilobite shaped...

...whoa! I was ogling up that there Æryn Sun, I mean, watching Farscape the other night (as PickTV are showing it from the beginning), and that shape looks suspiciously like Moya...

And in Episode 2, there was a Peacekeeper beacon hidden aboard, so they had to dive into a swamp to muffle the signal...

Life imitating art? Has a sentient craft crashed into Loch Ness? Is Rygel stuffing his face full of battered mars bars and deep fried haggis? 

Mind you, you wouldn't recognize Zhaan, as all Scotchwomen are blue with the cold. And D'Argo is just like every other fighty scotchman on a night out. Just a shame Æryn & Chiana aren't typical northern slagbags of the Shaz & Tray variety :(.

Anyhoo, fictitional ship from a Sci-Fi series, or a 1950s gigantisized by radiation reptile hell bent on world domination? You decide!

(I has - forget Godzilla! I want to see Trilobite 3D - the destruction of the Scottish Highlands by a thousand foot arthropod. Oooh, and Fish Out Of Marillion can be the plucky hero of the hour! Who wouldn't want to see that! All set to the soundtrack to Script For A Jester's Tear... with a thrilling re-enactment of their classic track Grendel played out to the titanic fight between Fish and Shellfish!)
