'Nessie's' bones found on beach! Come on, really?

LOCH NESS, Scottland — Check the calendar. It's not April 1, right?

But someone either has played a major prank on the shores of a famous Scottish lake, or has made a major scientific discovery. We're assuming it's not the latter.

That's because a dog walker claims to have come across a set of strange bones that just happened to be laying on the banks of Loch Ness, the Daily Record and other English news agencies reported.

So do the blood-covered, organ-filled remains prove that Nessie, or the Loch Ness Monster, actually exists?

Help2Rehome Scotland, an animal rescue group, posted the picture of Nessie's "remains" on its Facebook page.

About an hour after posting, the group sunk the dreams of Nessie believers, saying it was all done for a television show.

Some commenters didn't fall for the fake carcass, saying that the organs would have been the first to decompose and that it looked like a giraffe's body, the Record reported.
