    Okay, that I can see as a lot more reasonable. I just didn't know because I haven't been near a TV in months so I don't know what kind of specimen they were depicting in the 'documentary'. I'm definitely interested in the film, it sounds like fun. That being said, those that were fooled are way too gullible.

    It's not your traditional mermaid like Ariel. The one they were trying to say was in existence was a human evolved to the ocean. The skull had adapted (blow hole, bigger eyes, vocal changes, blah blah), the hands became fully webbed, legs evolved into a dolphin like tail but slightly split where the feet were. I didn't see any scales in their adaptation. They also had no hair

    Nah, they said that thing on their head wasn't a blowhole. It was essentially their voice box, it was what they used to emit the frequencies to communicate. If you saw in one of the scenes where one was swimming, it had slits on each side of its abdomen, so they had gills. They were completely aquatic.

    Well since the "video" of them was clearly bs I only vaguely remember what they showed of them in the ocean

    That should've been a big indicator to the public that it was fake. Every marine mammal known to man has to come up for air at some point. There's no way that a mammal could've developed gills in only a few million years. Even whales who've been around for tens of millions of years need to come up to breathe.

    That's why I thought it had a blow hole this whole time

    And I just have to add, it's good to see that Erik, the kid that people continuously bag on for being home schooled, seems to be more scientifically literate than Bianca, who's studying to be a veterinarian. :-bd

    That's what I mean. I'm not as stupid a y'all think. Just 'cause I prefer to simply call someone a faggot on here rather than waste my time typing out a Wake paragraph, doesn't mean shit. I should seriously post one of my essays on here some time. I'm actually extremely literate, I was literally at a 12th grade reading level in 2nd grade, and college level by 5th. My use of slang negates nothing.

    like really, im pre vet not marine bio
    just because i really wanna believe that things like marine humanoid species doesnt say anything about my intellect whatsoever
    the show made me think and i just was having trouble separating what the actual focus was

    Now, am I saying, knowing that it's fake, that I still believe mermaids exist? No. But the theory they used was actually realistic and honestly fascinating. Really enjoyed the movie, you should check it out, it's on YouTube, just separated into 9 videos. It's called Mermaids: The Body Found. Apparently a sequel was aired a couple days ago, but I haven't seen that one yet.

    Completely agree with Erik. If you havent watched it, you should. Not because you'll believe in mermaids, but just because it was a really good docufiction. Kinda like The Blair Witch Project, except way way better.

    I thought the greatest part of the show was when he figured out what the sting ray barb recovered from the shark was.

    a lot of things in the show were spot on though as far as the dolphins helping humans fish, the fact that the deep ocean is basically an alien planet as far as were concerned and that tools can be used by marine species
    hell, dolphins use the environment itself as a tool

    It has to deal with that sonar bs right?

    Yup. I don't doubt that they'd do something like that. The whole documentary and the followup is incredibly fascinating but it's easy to see how all of that can be faked.
