Was Nessie Killed by Golf Balls?

This will come as a shock to Yukon Cornelius, but he may be personally responsible for the death of the legendary creature of Loch Ness:

When Scottish scientists boarded their submersible and dove into the depths of Loch Ness, they were hoping to find evidence of a prehistoric creature along the loch floor. Instead, what they discovered were golf balls; hundreds of thousands of them.

The article then goes on to outline the environmantal impact of golf balls degrading in water, releasing heavy metals and other toxins into the depths.

It’s really kind of a bummer. I guess the moral of the story is: “If it bleeds, we can kill it.” Okay, maybe it’s not the moral of THIS story… but it’s the moral of a pretty badass story, so I’m appropriating it anyhow.
