So could the coccyx, have originally been a mermaid/man's tail?

No and yes....let me think about posting what I remember from intense dreams and flashbacks to when I was 4 years old and younger.
I posted it a few years ago but too many ridiculed me, so I deleted most of it.
Additionally, I know of no "fish" men, or mermaid/mermen with fishy tails, more like whale or dolphins. Atlanteans (my version from long before the popular version) however were a bit different from stereotypical mermaid/men or fish man gods and so forth.

LEXX, the movie was fun enough and the message was cool, but the reason i ask is hal's best friend has a tail! sort of boxer-ish, short but not non-existent, y'know? all through the film he is hiding the fact but at the end he decides to be himself...

as for atlanteans why do i think more of frogs than mermaids?

I just put the movie on hold the library!
Thank you for telling me about it!

As I indicated above, I theorize that Atlanteans were not human, but bipedal Amphibious humanoids. Not strictly aquatic, not strictly land dwelling.
Yes, very much like frogs/toads/salamanders/newts/mudpuppy, and so forth.
Not fish, or lizard.
Look at the creatures on this list:
frogs/toads/salamanders/newts/mudpuppy
All have what appears more hand like for their front feet. Their eyes are also somewhat face forward. They have skin, not scales. Some species can live in water, while others must come up for air, or only use water to reproduce, and only as tadpoles and so forth.
Now meld such creatures with the aquatic mammal, which can live in water, but must come up for air.
The whale, dolphin, porpoise, seal, walrus, and so forth.

As to the "tails" of mere folk, or Atlanteans; I will have to draw a few examples and scan in and post them and show how they function, switching back and forth between tailed/no legs, and bipedal/legged.
The mere folk myths got it partially right, the bit where a mer-folk/selke being loses their tailed lower body and it becomes legs whilst on land.
Yes, there is a natural metamorphic process for such which I shall illustrate and explain later.
In the story of mermaids who stay too long on land, losing their tails and never being able to return and restore their "tail", or more accurately, their "tail morphic function", is in my theories true.

No problem!
Just giving you theoritical answers....
and gave you another.
Having gone through such myself many times, I am trying to ascertain if we both encountered the same thing.
Still looking into it.

PS.I think you and I should post it all...but I will not unless you want to also.
It is quite fascinating!

No, Hecate does not fit.
Only remotely because her name was derived from Heqit, Heket, or Hekat. Only her name, not her.
quote:

Hecate's name derives from the Egyptian midwife-Goddess Heqit, Heket, or Hekat. The hag was the tribal matriarch of per-dynastic Egypt and was known as a wise woman. Heket was a frog headed Goddess who was connected with the embryonic state when dead grain decomposed and began to germinate. She was also one of the midwives who assisted every morning at the birth of the Sun.

She may be depicted as a crone but more often she is darkly mysteriously beautiful.
HECATE

Just watched "Shallow Hal".
It was sweet.
I thought the concept of Rosemary at 300 pounds was off though, as I did not look that big even at 400+pounds.
But then again, I guess one could look that big with a small bone structure, which I do not have....even when thin my shoulders are broader than most men's are who are under 6 feet tall.
The tail on the one guy was believable too.
The make up and costume effects were done very well.
Thanks again!

LEXX,
Please share your thoughts on the topics related to this thread with us as long as you have something on your mind, regardless of whether it fits the vast majority's way of thinking or unique.

LEXX replied:

I shall still post, just not always in depth.

LEXX, perhaps you have felt that people's responses are not always positive and that makes you uncomfortable, or think it is not very helpful to talk about the topic in-depth, so you withdraw and withhold your knowledge. But as you also pointed out, the deeper input will be in your books. I look forward to the publication of your books, do let me know when they are released. I won't be able to purchase them, though, as I no longer have a card to order items on Amazon stores, and the local bookshops' collections are poor. Unless they can order the books for me.

LEXX, you replied:

Sadly you may be right about that for most folks.

I am very curious, LEXX- why did you say "sadly"? What have you perceived on the future? Could you please explain more? Thanks.

LEXX, you replied:

I posted it a few years ago but too many ridiculed me, so I deleted most of it.

I think when we confront a lot of people's energies against us, for example, our posted opinions being ridiculed, we may have our personal concerns and decide to delete the information we have shared. I, too, have deleted my own posts only too many times, therefore I cannot say I have never done that. I have. But LEXX, you often express your feelings of being the odd one here, or your perspectives not being understood, rather, misunderstood- and at times, maybe half-jokingly (I'm not sure), you call yourself nutters.

I think you are a very unique and gifted individual, and being unique does not necessarily mean being the odd one on board. Besides, there's nothing wrong being the unique one here. And you are not nutters, LEXX You are simply far ahead of most of us, far ahead of our time, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! Other people's cruel lack of understanding will not discredit your discoveries. Please consider yourself an individual, that's it and that's all- you deserve being the individual that is you. And you are one of the sanest people at LL, you are by no means nutters, LEXX! So please stop calling yourself one!

Keep up the great work, LEXX

LEXX, as you are obviously far more proficient than i tech-wise (and other ways too i might add) i will ask you to post our correspondence AND exercise your editorial judgement as you see fit...you can post the whole of it if you choose...

glad you enjoyed shallow hal! i think the figure (300 lbs) was fairly arbitrary to put people in the picture!!

ps. for some reason i cannot get into my emailbox right now. funny the other one is working fine!

Edit March 30th.
Due to recent negativity directed at me based on admitted jealousy used to justify such an attitude towards me (on another thread) , and my not wanting to be the object of more personal insults, I will withhold once again my views for the time being.

Apologies to those who were not involved.

LEXX

Same as what I just posted onto your other thread- I saw what happened. You really didn't deserve that. Your traumatic experience leading to your withholding is our loss- and by saying "our", I mean the rest of us at LL. We could have shared a lot more and enjoyed a good time. It seems to me that your kindness, generosity, enthusiasm and sincerity were being used. I do hope you will feel ready to open yourself to us again on your own terms, and together, we can learn so much more, that's truly precious, and that's what matters.
