According to numerous eyewitnesses, the mythical sea creature looks like a cross between a little girl and a dolphin, and only comes out at sunset. "People are telling us they are sure they have seen the mermaid and they are all independent of each other," said Natti Zilberman, a local council spokesman.
The creature, according to the fast-growing local legend, performs a series of acrobatic tricks before disappearing beneath the Mediterranean waves.
Whatever the truth of the tale, it has done wonders for the tourist economy.
Local officials are now offering a cash prize of $1 million for the first tourist to take a photograph of the mermaid.
"I believe if there really is a mermaid," Zilberman said, "then so many people will come to Kiryat Yam, a lot more money will be made than $1 million."

Is this like the mini mermaids they were eating in sandwiches in Japan a few years ago! Some poor man bit into his tuna sandwich and heard a little scream and found a mermaid mixed with his mayo and and and SHE WAS ALIVE! Apparently all the locals ate mermaid regularly without ever growing gills or scales.
Yes, add that one too dear. Now, you know money is the need here. But I have to say, being god's chosen whatevers means you get speshull treatment. Even the mermaids appreciate your speshull-ness. Do you think bigfoot or Nessy of LochNess will make an appearance soon?
Maybe they think if we admit that even the Little Mermaid thinks they are speshull their standing in international society will improve from such a miracle?
Funny comment, Noor.. And yet so true...
It does make you wonder what kind of logic they actually have...
But I guess the inbreeding, and xenophobia explains much of their insane actions, right?
BTW.... Great articles in your blog, as usual!
