Mermaids

I watched the show the other night. Weird to say the least. I don't have any facts and know little about the subject other than what I saw but I think that we what we have here is a group something like Greenpeace sponsoring this fellow to appear like "an independent expert" in an effort to stop the Military in developing sonar weapons by engaging the public in an outcry to save the humanoid creatures.

But if they are real it would be cool! I am keeping my eyes out this year for them

That is my take. What do you think?

The animal planet show was a fictitious documentary (they admit it here: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/0...n_3343773.html), all those people are just actors, but I thought they did a great job on it!

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I'm glad they came out and said it was fake. I don't know how many people had to tell me the whole story about how mermaids are real

mermaids

Gee; when I was with Strike Zone Charters out of Big Pine Key Fl. we had one come right up to the boats and drink fresh water out of our wash down hose, I think it was one?

Like I tell my kids, don't believe everything you see on Sponge Bob Square Pants.

Some say that there's a fine line between a Surfcaster and some idiot just standing on the beach.

Just watching the adds was enough to make me not watch it... they need to dispose with the big foot foolishness as well..Generaly they have pretty good programs... sometimes I think they, like discovery channel throow things against the wall to see what will stick.. there are some real gullible people out there... elsewise.. the Kardashians woulndt make the first months rent.

A good run is better than a bad stand!

You know they are reaching for an audience when Jeremy Wade from "River Monsters" does a Loch Ness episode, and pretty much gives up and goes fishing in Iceland instead.

Maybe they can do a show that explains where pool turds come from, so we know exactly who to blame?

I am a legend in my own mind!

Did you see the Squatch in Rhode Island? LOL! That damn show has got to be the most ridiculous thing ever... what's crazy is I bet those idiots get paid a decent amount to carry on like a bunch of gullible dimwits and claim its all for science!

Mermaids, Sasquatch, Space Aliens, the Loch Ness Monster, 100lb Striped Bass and Honest Politicians and all fictional creatures.

Ok - I'll still hedging on the 100lb Striped Bass, it could happen...

Bigfoot central is in Hanover

and Joe don't be LUMPING big feet with mermaids together
that's like making a tuna fish and peanut butter sandwich....

the Bigfoot phenomenon has a need of a separate thread.

sightings of big foot and a race of GIANTS
that were hunted to extinction
have been going on for a thousand years....
worldwide...

Mermaids are real, they're just extinct. Bigfoots are endangered.

well i just have to tell you.....

and everyone will laugh or laugh again....

When you see a real UFO ....cigar shaped
approximately 600 feet long or larger that's as motionless as an oak tree
suddenly turn and jet off into the distance so fast ...that in two seconds
it's about the size of a number 2 pencil off in the distance
and this strange light as a feather "light gray stuff" comes floating down
like cotton candy (can't collect it as it's evaporating....)


it's no longer a laughing mater @ that point.... it's a religion.
