Loch Ness Monster Insurance. May 2, 2013 – Scottish cruise company Jacobite Cruises decided to be safe instead of sorry and paid 1.5 million dollars to Towergate Moray Firth to insure its tourist boats against any damage caused by the infamous Loch Ness Monster. The Loch Ness Monster, also known as Nessie , allegedly lives in the River Ness and was first captured on film 80 years ago.
Most believers think it is a kind of plesiosaur– a reptile with a long neck that first appeared in the Early Jurassic Period– although the scientific community argues that the plesiosaur became extinct like all of the other dinosaurs 66 million years ago. The story of the monster dates back to the 7th century AD. Since then there have been many reported "sightings" and photographs taken of the monster but almost all of them have turned out to be hoaxes, wishful thinking, or just can't be proven.

Image: Toronto Star, Vince Talotta. Every year, movie stars, directors and producers flock to Toronto. This week marks the 39th year of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). It’s a 10-day long celebration of movies, with premieres (when a movie is shown to an audience for the first time) and glamorous parties. The whole city goes movie-mad during the 10-day festival.
The Bell TIFF Lightbox, on King Street in downtown Toronto, is the festival’s main theatre although movies are shown in a number of theatres in the downtown core. Many of the celebrities who come to the city for the festival hang out in the city’s posh Yorkville district, where fans flock to see if they can snap a photo or get an autograph. Hundreds of people also wait outside downtown theatres because they know their favourite actor will arrive to be in the audience for the premiere of his or her film.
