No, not confirmation of the so-called “god particle” … I’m talking about the NOAA’s refutation of the existence of mermaids.
According to the LA Times …
There’s no evidence mermaids exist, and most people above the age of 6 probably realize it
To put the matter to rest, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has announced that there is no evidence that mermaids are real.
“The belief in mermaids may have arisen at the very dawn of our species,” the post explains. “Magical female figures first appear in cave paintings in the late Paleolithic (Stone Age) period some 30,000 years ago, when modern humans gained dominion over the land and, presumably, began to sail the seas. Half-human creatures, called chimeras, also abound in mythology…. But are mermaids real? No evidence of aquatic humanoids has ever been found.”
Perhaps the most surprising aspect of this revelation is why NOAA, a U.S. scientific agency, would want to weigh in on these mythical creatures any more than they’d want to expound on the potential atmospheric perturbations caused by Santa Claus’ countless Christmas Eve flights around the globe.
Our tax dollars at work.
I guess this is one item that President Obama missed when he scoured the budget line-by-line to eliminate fraud and waste …
