Mermaids are real.
The evidence lives in Lyrica.
Most people think sailors mistook manatees for mermaids, but sailors who have
been at sea for a long time have seen pretty much everything that is to see out
there, and I'm positive they would have known the difference between a wrinkly,
gray sea cow and a beautiful fish-tailed woman. Here's a few accounts of purported
mermaid sightings all over the world:
The first comes from explorer Henry
Hudson, and here's his account in his journal about what his crew supposedly
saw:
"This evening (June 15) one of our company, looking overboard, saw a
mermaid, and, calling up some of the company to see her, one more of the crew
came up, and by that time she was come close to the ship's side, looking
earnestly on the men. A little after the sea came and overturned her. From the
navel upwards, her back and breasts were like a woman's, as they say that saw
her; her body as big as one of us, her skin very white, and long hair hanging
down behind, of colour black. In her doing down they saw her tail, which was
like the tail of a porpoise, speckled like a mackerel. Their names that saw her
were Thomas Hilles and Robert Rayner."
Another sighting hails from
the Scottish Highlands, in which a mermaid supposedly washed ashore and died.
The townsfolk felt so much pity for the dead creature, they ordered her a coffin
and buried her in the nearby cemetery, and to this day she is supposedly still
buried there atop a hill. (What do you think is actually buried there? Something
that would change everything?)
Also, Captain John Smith (yes, of
Pocahontas fame) was exploring the
West Indies when he spied a beautiful woman in the water. He instantly felt
attracted to her, but then noticed that "from the waist down the woman gave way
to the fish...and her long green hair...(was) by no means
unattractive."
Even Christopher Columbus, who sailed the ocean blue in
1492 and is credited with discovering America, encountered mermaids and said
this about them: "Three sirens...came up very high out of the sea: but they were
not as beautiful as they were painted."
But mermaid sightings have
continued even into the modern day. In Kiryat Yam, a city in Israel, locals
claim there is a mermaid who dives in and out of the water at sunset. The mayor
of the town is so adamant that a mermaid lives in their waters that he offered a
million dollar prize to anyone who could catch a photo of the elusive creature.
A television crew for the show
Destination Truth featured an episode
where the hunted for the mermaid, and they did catch a humanoid figure on video.
Was it a mermaid? The world may never know.
So, after the claims of all
these respected men and entire towns of people who insist the mermaid exists,
ask yourself: Do
you believe in mermaids?
