So, yesterday I watched the Discovery Channel's show about how Mermaids are real and so on and it's interview with Dr. Paul Robertson.. What do you all think about this? Are they real? Why the hype all of the sudden?

I hate when those mockumentaries come out trying to be passed off as the real deal. I can't believe they tried this one twice now.
I'll admit the whole Aquatic-Ape aspect is interesting, to bad it's all fake.
The speculation is not about 'breeding' but 'evolving' to become a marine mammal (whales, seals, dolphins, sea lions etc etc). They're mammals and breathe air. It certainly is a possibility If at any point in evolution our ancestors branched out into the oceans for food and thus developed the ability to dive for prolonged period and live like the dolphins, whales and other marine mammals. As in natural selection, we adopt the surroundings and develop necessary traits (tails, webbing of the palm etc). I certainly think its legit since there have been folklore and numeroud cave paintings depicting them in ancient egypt. Sea going captains/pirates have described them in their stories. Normally folklores/stories/epics/legends/mythology/religion etc are few ways the information is preserved and passed down to the next generation.

I tried for years with my goldfish but they kept exploding

Yes, it sucks.
They have played it repeatedly several months apart, and each time someone has started a thread.... thinking it might possibly be real.
