Go to Hell, Science!

Folks are flocking to the Israeli town of Kiryat Yam to cash in on what I can only call a sure thing. All they have to do is get a photo of the town's mermaid. Simple as pie, folks. Whoever ponies up this reward money is an idiot. How long can this contest take, like 8 minutes? Here's a contest idea for you: "$1,000,000 for any photo of a broken sand dollar!"

In my experience, it's more difficult to take beach pictures without mermaids littering the shot. I have a filing cabinet filled with vacation pictures absolutely ruined by mermaids. Perfect shots of the sun setting over the horizon...marred by comely sea wenches lolling about on the sands. Award winning visions of morning fog slowly fading under the intense gaze of the rising sun...poisoned by the emerging forms of she-fish. At least with jellyfish, you can listen to the radio and get an idea of the population density.

Note: The graphic accompanying this post does not constitute photographic evidence of mermaids.
