Yeah, i used the logic that if it was convincing I would of heard about it in the news, on one of the news websites i heard... or really holy shit from my parents or someone else who would just be surprised as hell that a mermaid exists.

I mean, it'd be like if a T-Rex suddenly just showed up...  a videogame forum post by a kid is not where i'd first hear it.

Off topic kinda, What gets me is when people say Unicorns are unrealistic.  I mean... it's a horse with a horn on it's head.  Is that really that unrealistic?

I mean of all the myths i've seen a unicorn is the least imaginitive and most likely thing i've ever seen.

I mean hell it could of been a horse with a stick stuck in it's head... or a portruding bone....

Or just a breed of horse that was slowley breeded out of existance since having a horn is undesierable for domestication of the things.

Well Kasz, I hear a lot of news on message boards first. Micheal Jackson's death being the latest case.

But, I am willing to believe in a unicorn for instance, in that evolution or genetic mutation can easily result in a bone portruding from a skull. A chupacabra? Maybe but I'd rather believe the mangy dog theory.

Snowman? Could be, Himalaya is huge and there might be an ape-like being on a snowy mountain, or several. Loch Ness I don't believe, the lake is too small to harbor such a creature and we would've had accounts since the middle ages at least.

When I was a little kid I thought unicorns were real but went extinct.

how can you say the LOCH is too small for "such" a mythological creature as a water-dweilling beast? and FYI,  it has a surface area of 56.4 km², is deeper than the height of the BT Tower in London (deepest point 230m) AND contains more fresh water than all the lakes in England and Wales put together (so its perfectly feasible that it harbours a large animal )

also, i have undebateable proof that mermaids DO exist. this one was found washed up on Portobello Beach this May.

because she want attention.

this is probably an mutation from Mr. Burn nuclear plant.

that Chucabaraca (wahtever) thing is ugly as sin

Twesterm is right. Dolphins exert hardly any tail motion when swimming and they can zoom through the water like nothing.

And the video is fake, by the way. The movement of the torso is NOT fluid enough. Mermaids don't bend their tails like that because that's a girl apparently in a suit since her 'knees' bend Search YouTube for clips on this TV show called H2O: Just Add Water. It's a show about three girls who accidentally become mermaids. I watch it sometimes when nothing else is on on Nickelodeon. I have some of the actors and actresses befriended on MySpace, though. Mermaids have always interested me, though, which is why they are one of my most favorite mythical creature (and also because The Little Mermaid was my first Disney movie and I LOVE redheads).

There was this one deer shown on Animal Planet and it had a genetic mutation so that its antler was fused and grew in the middle of its forehead. I saw that before.
