Okay, I got all creeped out recently by a mermaid that was on
auction at Ebay.

First I was like OMG, I did not know mermaids were even real!!
Well atleast I thought they were always referenced as manatees
in the ocean and were mistook by waterlubbers as mermaids.

So I saw this wicked mermaid photographed and up for grabs and
I then felt sorry for the poor thing laying there because it just seemed
disrespectful of the dead thing.

THEN.......... months later I find out that there are NOT any mermaids
and yeah this is just a fake prop or something. I felt like such the dumbo
for not knowing this.

I'd like to point out that the mermaid thingy did sell for about 1500.00
dollars. Now to me, that is quite a price for a prop! But to each his own.

Here's some snaps of the mermaid if you would like to see them.
Yes I saved them to my PC because I thought they were quite amazing.

Oh i got an email pertaining to this particular image where someone was giving it sort of a back-story lol. Well i guess it is quite fascinating and it is an awesome prop. Glad you didn't get scammed though.
