Heard this a few times, but it can't be right, can it?

Lets see. there are 6 billion people, approx, on the planet. Lets say that the average human has a circumference of 3 ft. That would mean that, in 2 dimensions, as a globe we would take up 42,390,000,000 sq.ft, or 8028409 sq.miles. Loch ness is only 28.1 Square miles.
Volume wise, the human being takes up about, lets say, 30 cubic feet. That means that the volume of the entire human population is 1,271,700,000,000 cubic feet. Loch Ness has a volume of 266,343,216,413.5 cubic feet. You would need 5 Loch Ness's to hold all of the worlds population.
Mind you, this isnt entirely accurate, nor does this account for breathing room, ect.
And yes, i have WAY too much time on my hands to calculate all of this.

Actually, if we say that the human body is of similar denisty to water, and let's say the average person is around 80kg. That means the person also has a volume of around 80 liters, which would make the person 0.08m^3. Multiply it by 7 billion, and you get 560,000,000m^3.
The surface area of Loch Ness is 56.4km^2, which is 56400000m^2. Average depth is 132m, so let's just say the average volume is 7,444,800,000m^3
Now have in mind that all people in this theory are average sized, equally dimensioned, but you could fit the whole world inside Loch Ness +10 times over

The world's population could fit inside a one-mile by one-mile by one-mile (height, width, depth) box. That box, I know, could fit in the Grand Canyon.
Not sure of the dimensions of Loch Ness.

they say that the loch is very deep and there is a channel that goes out to the sea but i don't think everyone would fit into the loch especially if the monster is in there.

It would be worth a try, but I doubt it. And Nessie wouldn't like it anyway. She'd keep eating people, so it would be impossible to prove. The World's population can however, stand shoulder to shoulder on the Isle of Wight......

Well I have heard that they have not got to the bottom of it before - it's just too deep. It is very wide too so it may be a possibility

no way.Unless the come at pairs to be slaughtered and eaten by the cute dragon Nessie during a long period of time. She must digest them to continue...
