I loved this story about Weta Workshop (that Weta Workshop!) turning a a lady with amputated legs into a mermaid. :-) She got a functional prosthetic tail made to be used in water, and she even got the makeover to go with it. It's beautiful.
Apparently kids see her in the water and go, "Oh, right, there's a mermaid," but adults think it's really awesome.

That is quite the story :-D
The bit about kids accepting a mermaid in the pool unquestioningly I find cool. Kids, especially little ones, go around looking at the world with such a sense of wonderment because everything is new. Everything qualifies as both new and normal until time goes on and they discover there are some things they don't see twice.
