Mermaid tidbits!

*The first mermaid was actually a man. He was the god Oannes from Babylon. He is often shown as a man with a fish's tail. According to written descriptions he had the head and body of a fish but under the fish head is a human head and under the tail are human feet.

*In heraldry the two-tailed mermaid is shown full face with the ends of her tails held in each hand. Both single-tailed and double-tailed varieties symbolize eloquence. If she has her comb and mirror with her then it means vanity.

*A two-tailed mermaid is the basis for the Starbuck's logo. It has been somewhat edited because some people found the original image too sexually suggestive.

*For a brief period during the Middle Ages mer-ladies with wings were carved on tombstones. These are probably descendants of the bird-sirens used in classical times. They are meant to represent both mourners and guides bringing the spirit of the dead to the afterlife.

*Sirenomelia, alternatively known as Mermaid Syndrome is a very rare congenital deformity in which the legs are fused together, giving the appearance of a mermaid. This condition is found in approximately one out of every 70,000 live births and is usually fatal within a day or two of birth.
There are only two known cases in the world of children who survived the affliction. Tiffany Yorks, a 19-year-old American had her legs successfully separated when she was a baby, and 4-year-old Milagros Cerron, from Peru had her legs surgically separated 3 years ago.
