Penny Arcade totally stole this joke from that Futurama episode, but it is still funny:

      Reproduction: Something about laying eggs in a guy’s sac (as per Futurama). Sounds a bit painful, but if seahorses can do it, I’m sure a merman can.

      Boobs: To ease oral fixations.

      LOL

      I figured that boobs were to lure unsuspecting sailors to certain doom or something like that, but what you said also makes sense. P

      I’m sure that if mermaids do exist that they have Vaginas and Mermen have penises and then they have Mer sex lol

      Not necessarily… The female could just lay fish-eggs, and the male would inseminate them externally just like fish do.

      Or perhaps the real Merfolk would be the reverse way (fish head + legs) like on Family Guy.
