I have heard the mermaids singing

(idea) by Pseudo_Intellectual (5 d) (print) ? (I like it!) Tue Feb 15 2000 at 12:07:38

Famous phrase ostensibly originating from the logs of Christopher Columbus in the process of his earth-shattering (or at least earth-concept-shattering) voyage to India.

It is thought he is referring to seals or manatees - three months at sea will make anything look like a busty vixen.

I do not think that they will sing to me.	The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock	The Catcher in the Rye	We Cannot Breathe, We Cannot Breathe
Your Crystal Earth Pod and You	Telepinu	The nymphs are departed	The best way to cure a broken heart is to give the pieces away
You, born of the water, could you ever live far from the sea?	mermaid	throw away words we catch in cages where our hearts should be	Remember those stinging velvet petunias?
Chimes at Midnight	Johnny Got His Gun	Christopher Columbus	Can't she just carpool or something?
The ghost of a music we have somewhere heard	Patricia Rozema	Let the Mermaids Flirt with Me	The Solubility Rules Song
Lori Lemaris	The Red Sea Fable	Bastard search	Ann-Marie MacDonald
