In my job I'm in contact with many reporters. From yesterday there was a rumor: A Mermaid fished yesterday ! Many reports made jokes about it except one person: Asieh Amini (her Farsi weblog). I was curious. I've never seen a mermaid myself and the idea of a half-woman / half-dolphin creature is far from my mind, but I accept that there might be something that people are speaking about.
Next news... All the people are talking about it in the area. Even the Muslims think that they have to pray for her dead body because "she" is somehow human (so why they don't pray for dead chimps?). My reaction was "something have to been happen and it is important but I need more proof". And at last here is the proof. There is a cell-phone video of her body. I don't know about biology but I think if real it has to be some kind of dolphin of wale with a mutation ! I want to know experts answers.
It's really fun that you can hear the Quran which is read aloud because of this creatures soul ! I'd liked to remove this sound but I've though it's better not to edit the movie in any form. This movie is exactly what I've got. Muslim read Quran in funerals of humans but here they are reading it for a fish and I think this is degrading !
(I'm not sure if I've added this SWF file to my post correctly. if you can not see it, just download the file and watch it stand alone)

i dont know how real or unreal it is, and i dont necessarily agree with praying to this creature, in fact i dont believe in prayers and all that stops our curious brains from being radical and thinking outside the box. but i do believe in respecting oter peopples belief. so whether you find the quran funny or not, you might wanna keep it to yourself.

That's...not an alien or a mermaid. It's a kind of ray called a guitarfish. Just do a search on 'guitar fish' and you can see lots of them quite clearly. If they'd just turned it onto its stomach, it would be very clearly a kind of ray.
