People think they're real? I live in the Mermaid Capital of Texas and even we know they're just nice ladies with store-bought tails.

I think I might assign this and your mermaid article to my students for some extra credit. I'm always trying to encourage critical thinking.

I remember watching Megalodon and continually searching for any evidence that they were not serious. Because... they couldn't be serious? Right?

In grad school several friends made a poster presentation about discovering dinosaur fossils on Venus, and stuck it up in an empty slot at a conference. We were mildly disappointed it didn’t get more of a reaction, but mostly people were confused, and then laughed and kept on walking.

I have to admit I love watching the Prime series "Expedition Bigfoot" because it is just so farking stupid, the very best of junk science. Bigfoot is everywhere! But they can make themselves invisible so you can't see them! Slay me.

Alternate title, “Megalodons are extinct, shut up!”
