And This Is My Final Answer

Here's the CORRECTED image of a real Mermaid encounter.  There is NO CAMERA.  The sailor is ALONE.  The Mermaids are SINKING HIS BOAT.  He is SMILING LIKE AN IDIOT, positively happy with the situation, and quite unable to comprehend that he is about to be KILLED and EATEN.

Ah, those were the good old days!
