Anniversary of the first sighting of the Loch Ness Monster

Great insights often sneak up on you.
We suspect that major discoveries take a good deal of thought and research, but this is not always true. Wisdom may come just from posing an idle question or from reading two separate documents side by side.
I have made a major discovery and expect it to be highlighted on Public Broadcasting any day.  It came to me while looking at Swiss cheese at a delicatessen.
I’ll back up a little so you can see how this is done.
Having spent a couple of days exploring the area of Loch Ness in Scotland, we became familiar with local lore. The loch (lake) is known for its monster.
We watched for it from the Nineteenth Century abbey in Fort Augustus, and from atop Urquirt Castle. We saw some wonderful scenery, but the question remained: “Is the Loch Ness Monster real?”
Recently, the monster has been back in the news as has Champ from Lake Champlain in upper New York.  Champ is described as looking exactly like the Loch Ness Monster. The truth came to me while having lunch.
There must be holes through the center of the earth.  Loch Ness is a direct shot to Lake Champlain where the famous monster “Champ” hangs out.  They are actually one and the same. First the animal is seen on one side of the earth and then the other.
Never are reported sightings made on the same day, in fact there is substantial travel time needed to go through the earth.
Another hole runs between Northern California and the Himalayas.  Yeti, or Big Foot, meanders back and forth. First seen on one side and then the other, it makes it difficult to find consistent evidence.
Just how, or why, Big Foot changes color into the Abominable Snowman is unknown.  In fact, most Big Foot sightings conclude that she is a female.  Does she stop off somewhere for rinse?  We cannot be sure.
Magma aside, the earth is similar to Swiss cheese or a giant sponge.
Those of us growing up in an age before NASA showed us the whole earth knew that you could dig a hole from anywhere in the United States and end up in China. My sainted mother told me so, but I had my doubts.
She also talked about hell being at the center of the earth but with the Swiss cheese theory, it could actually be anywhere. Take Cleveland, Ohio as an example.
This Swiss cheese model may account for the wide spread locations of volcanoes, not springs, and sulfur springs. Further research may turn up Jimmy Hoffa.
And to think all it took was a Ruben on rye.
