Mermaids scare off reservoir workers in Zimbabwe

Work has stopped on new reservoirs in Zimbabwe because builders have been scared off by mermaids.

Water resources minister Samuel Sipepa Nkomo told a parliamentary committee the only way to solve the mermaid problem is to brew traditional beer and get rites carried to appease the spirits after workers were too terrified to go back to the sites.

According to Zimbabwe's state-approved Herald newspaper, he was reported as saying: "All the officers I have sent have vowed not to go back there."

A belief in mermaids and other such creatures is popular in the African country.

Something fishy about all this.

Could be a sighting of a manatee. They have been blamed for mermaid sightings historically hence their common name sirens.

There use to be a market for "freak" slaves in ancient Rome. They would take them out as curiosities at parties. They were very valuable, but rare. So they use to make them. One method was getting a baby and placing it is a vase type structure so as it grows the bones would become misshapen, or they would lock them up in dark rooms from infancy so when revealed their skin would lack pigment and they would be almost translucent, most of them died but you get the odd one who survived and you would sell it and it would make the effort worth your while.

But they also made Mermaids by grafting skin from each leg onto the other leg and setting the feet like fins. There are accounts of some of these unfortunates. So the worst historical fate was not always been a eunuch or a slave.

If mermaids were a real thing, would you guys really find them attractive? I guess they are mysterious and shy, which always makes an individual more intriguing.

But... give me a woman with two legs any day to be honest.

I've never really been into the tail and fishscales look.

Maybe God put the mermaids there?

Them mermaids can't distinguish each other either and they believe we white's don't notice them 12 felleas driving the same taxi under ONE licence. They don't think we notice, but we look on them as children playing childish games.

Aboout time it was identified as the mermaid's own fault.
