I know that they are not real

(This is kinda scary...)

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

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?

Damn. I was about to post that.

Me too....great minds think alike

As was I

I was gonna post that too.

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

[Giga Guess]

So it seems...

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.

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

They're like SEAHORSES!

U mean where the male becomes impegnated????

[Project G]

Wow, thanks guys

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.

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...

Helllooooo, half human, half fish? DOLPHINS.

You're on drugs, son.

Tongue kissing.
