Being with a mermaid is also an outlandish idea
I was gonna make a joke that it's also an idea that's on so many street corners and coffee cups. However after googling I found out that it's a siren on the Starbucks logo and not a mermaid. My joke fails on both humour and fact.
What is a siren, but a mermaid?
there are different depictions of sirens. most commonly they are depicted as creatures similar to harpies. the mermaid form is second most common i think.
Sirens depicted as harpies? Source?

Wow. Thank you for that. I didn't know.
There's a difference?
