No LJ, so I can't leave a signed comment (thank God!), but, and I can't believe I'm admitting this, even anonymously, I've always thought that mermaids would, um... function... kind of like dolphins. I mean, they're both fish-like mammals, and even the, um, /anatomy/ from the waist down could be kind of the same, right? Oh God, I may never post again.... *Flees*
