Ellen, I recently saw the Magritte show(now closed) at SFMOMA. His
classical picture of mermaids is 'The Wonders of Nature', 1953 and, as a
surrealist, he definitely has a different, humorous and thought-provoking
viewpoint. If you don't have access to this image, imagine beings made
from the left over parts of mermaids, i.e. fish tops and human bottoms...

So, would this number be the right range for something the size of a
mermaid (I've been pondering the biological possibilities or
impossibilities of mermaids lately, going from the assumption that they
are real and then trying to figure out how they could -- maybe -- be put
together. It's fun.)
