Although Mermaids are mythical creatures, there have been many reported "sightings" throughout history. Let me know your thoughts..?

Manatees distorted by the VERY girl-starved minds of sailors.

The 'Fiji Mermaid" immediately comes to mind, though. P.T. Barnum was a mad genius.

You would have to be very starved not to mention very very very desperate to mistake a Manatee for a mermaid.

Depends...some mermaids may let themselves go. Do they have McDonald's in Atlantis?

Or they could have been very drunk on rum and grog.

Nope. I don't see anyway for such a creature to have evolved.

Part human part fish? I don't see how that could happen anyway other then an instant transformation and I don't believe that is possible.

The fact is that to evolve from a fish to be half-human (or a human to half fish) Would I feel be quite impossible.

I use the same arguments against Centaurs and the like. It is just not possible from my view point of the world

Or a scientific viewpoint. Not a chance, I say.

That is just one of the silly-assed nonexplanations that people with degrees in science come up with when just three little words would do nicely . . . "I/we don't know" <_<

This is what annoys me more than a little bit. The explanation that "they must have been drunk" when people see strange things. Before I quit drinking completely, there were a good many time when I was more than a bit drunk, and I never saw anything strange during those times. I feel I have missed something, drat it! :brows:
