Default Latest in. Mermaids are not real!

Thanks to the U.S. Government for clearing this up. Maybe the same researchers could look for God now, and publish a conclusion? Although they still haven't ruled mermaids out. It says PROBABLY don't exist!! HAHAHA.

So why wont they issue a similar statement regarding popular mythological deities? I would feel very reassured, I'm sure.

Unless you're talking about Poseidon, presumably it's out of the jurisdiction.

This statement from the journalist raised my eyebrows though;

Conversely, the US government declaration offered no conclusive proof to deny the existence of mermaids.
What proof would news.com accept?

Hi Praxis, I wasn't sure where to put the thread, and thought maybe as it was a news article, and could go under the heading of woo. I am unsure what woo is, but this sounded wooey to me.

On the subject, what mermaid would you prefer if stranded on a desert island??
