A real live FeeJee Mermaid

Roll up, roll up! Come and see the real live FeeJee Mermaid.

Old time carnies would stick a monkey torso on to a fish tail and tell the conies it was the remains of a mermaid from Fiji.

But looking at this tangle of seaweed and stones washed up on the beach today, I think it's easy to imagine that mermaids are real, don't you?
