Apparently mermaids dont exist.

Apparently mermaids dont exist.
Who'da thunk it.

Quote:There is no evidence that mermaids exist, a US government scientific agency has said.

The National Ocean Service made the unusual declaration in response to public inquiries following a TV show on the mythical creatures.

It is thought some viewers may have mistaken the programme for a documentary.

You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Of course, that won't even slow the shitwits down. The jesus freaks will insist that they don't need evidence and the conspiracy nuts will claim the government is deliberately suppressing the evidence.


This is one sad fucking place.

Right, because stupid people don't believe in stupid things elsewhere.

Mermaids never interested me because they can't open their legs.

I'm sure they do, it does seeem, however, that we have an unusually high concentration of stupid people believing in stupid shit.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

It's about Discovery channel presenting a lie as fact and confusing many ignorant-but-well-meaning Americans into pseudoscience.

Personally, I think Discovery should be sued on grounds of showing no good faith or will in this matter. But that's just me and it should remain so.
