When do they feed the Loch Ness monster?

Monday, 08 Dec, 2009 0

Have you wondered when the Loch Ness monster gets fed? That’s among the oddest queries that turned up when Tribune Newspapers asked tourism offices for most unusual and naïve questions. Others:
 

 “Can you tell me which beach is closest to the Ocean?” —Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau.
 

 “Why did they build so many ruined castles and abbeys in England?”—The VisitBritain office in New York.
 

 “I have been asked where in the city the Boston Tea Party took place.”—Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corporation.
 

And in Seattle, the CVB said some questioners wanted to know what time the whales swam by.
