But what if I'm a mermaid in these jeans of his?
As soon as it opens, I am going to see this.
The article in the museum newsletter states that "the exhibition highlights such supposed denizens of land, sea, and air as dragons, griffins, mermaids, sea serpents, and unicorns, with models that have to be seen to be believed. Among them will be a 17-foot-long dragon; the mythical bird of prey, the roc, with a 19-foot wing span; and a kraken, the multi-armed, ship-foundering sea monster, its massive two-foot-diameter tentacles surfacing all throughout the hall."
Reading this, my father asks me, "How would you feel if you found out you were descended from a kraken?"
"Biologically implausible, but awesome."
"Just checking," my father says equably, and goes back to reading the article.
Yeah.

And your dad just rocks.

It will last through next January: you could make a pilgrimage.
And your dad just rocks.
He has more than once lamented that he had neither the genetic makeup nor the retroviral proficiency to give me retractile claws. He really does.

How utterly cool. Well, the same goes for the kraken bit. ;-)
My da thinks me very strange for wanting retractile claws. Although my mother, at least, understands.
