Debate: The Ancient Greeks and Water
Merblogogy: It was the ancient Greeks who came up with a system of balance that managed our health, the four elements - earth, air, water and fire. The human body is 2/3rds water and the moon's gravitational pull on the oceans could be as strong in our bodies. We are all water creatures.

Debate: Mer-men Mer-women
Merblogogy: Interesting how the existence of water 'people' is long debated and documented globally. Inevitably women become 'maids' courtesy of sexism & linguistics! Since we know more about outer space than the deep, what's possible?
