I know that they are not real

[Project G]

I know Merpeople are not real but how do they reproduce

[Rye]

They adopt?

[Jebus]

Maybe they reproduce asexually like most monocellular organisms and worms. :D?

[Rye]

The stork comes. :eek:

[Misfit]

They're like SEAHORSES!

You just became number two on my awesome list for asking that question. I love you.

I figure they reproduce like fishies, since their bottom halves are fishie like. It would suck to be a merperson :(

[Amnesiac]

They're asexual. Since they're like fish, they reproduce like them, not entirely. They have mer-eggs which come from their mouths... Yes, their mouths (Merpeople are an odd race). The eggs are pretty frickin' big too... >_>;; I bet it hurts.

[Rainecloud]

They lay eggs and wait for the male to fertilize them, perhaps?

Futurama answers this question rather well:


Umbriel: What the hell is that?

Fry: Yeah I'm a little confused too. How do I...y'now...with the tail and all.

Umbriel: I'm not your first am I? I mean, I lay my eggs, then I leave and you release your fertiliser.

[Scene: Outside Colonel's House. Fry runs away from the house at top speed.]
Fry (gasping): Why couldn't she be the other type of mermaid, with the fish part on top and the lady part on the bottom?


xD

Damn. I was about to post that. :aimmad:

Damn. I was about to post that. :aimmad:

Be a little more quicker next time... ;P

Eat broadband, Spiffy. :D

I have loads of questions like this, just most of them I put up in a thread and they get closed :cry:

Me too....great minds think alike.

[Rainecloud]

I was about to post that.

As was I. This is beginning to worry me. :/

[Giga Guess]

(This is kinda scary...)

I was gonna post that too. I actually just saw that episode, recently.

Wow....we all watch too much late night T.V.

[Giga Guess]

So it seems...

[Cz]

There's no shame in watching Futurama. It's a fine show. That's not even a particularly funny scene, and it still makes me laugh.

[nik0tine]

They're like SEAHORSES!
Exactly

[Proxy]

just like fishies! female lays eggs, male puts his goo overtop the unfertillized eggs. and then they become fertillized through osmosis
O_o

[CloudSquallandZidane]

They're like SEAHORSES!


U mean where the male becomes impegnated????

[Project G]

Wow, thanks guys

[Shlup]

Same way fish do: Females pop out a ton of eggs and a male comes by and fertilizes them.

Sure merpeople LOOK sexy until you realize stuff like that.

[Loony BoB]

I always thought they'd do it dolphin style. Y'no, swim opposite each other, bump a little, get a thrill and you're done. Imagine, though, how easy it would be for a casual passer by to accidentally bump into you and BANG - pregnancy issues, possible lawsuits or jailtime, domestic troubles leading to more jailtime... it must be a tough life. :(

That would work if they were half dolphin, but they're half fish, so I'd just assume they reproduce the same way fish do.

Waste of perfectly good mermaid boobies though...

[Loony BoB]

Helllooooo, half human, half fish? DOLPHINS.

I saw this on TV with trout doing their thing. How boring. :rolleyes2

[Citizen Bleys]

You're on drugs, son.


That's right, Spiff, I'm talking to YOU

[Meat Puppet]

Tongue kissing.

[Phoenix Corps]

You need a level 7 wizard of the moon to cast magic missile while rolling a 27 sided dice and throwing feathers in the air and spilling mountain dew everywhere.

[Doomgaze]

I was going to post a screencap of said Futurama scene, but I failed at invoking the dark gods and was unable to get a screenshot in Windows.

[Cz]

Too bad, that Umbriel chick is hot.

[Doomgaze]

Which reminds me, I need to get season 3~

[Cz]

Too right you do. It's probably the best season, what with the Harlem Globetrotters an' all.
