Monster Sperm

By Mark Steer

Is this Nessie or just a little indiscretion?

As far as I was concerned Amiens in Northern France was notable only for it's cathedral and it's proximity to the Somme. Little did I know that it was home to a giant worm-serpent-sperm thing. It's obviously something the Amienese are keeping quiet.

This photograph, taken of the Etang de St Pierre - a lake to the east of the city centre, clearly shows the mysterious beast wending it's way through the murky waters. Yet nowhere can I find mention of it - what's going on? Even if it was a sculpture, surely someone somewhere would have remarked upon it?

What is it that the inhabitants of Amiens are hiding? Are they under silent attack from a deadly mythical monster that has them trapped under its spell? Maybe they're breeding up an army of massive attack snakes with which they're going to march/slither on Paris? Have they somehow recreated the reproductive juices of a diplodocus?

I'm a worried man, what is happening in Amiens? If anyone knows, please call in straight away. Thanks.
