UBC, a leading research institution, is always finding answers to some of the world’s most challenging and important questions. UBC REC is no different. Ever wonder about the age-old question of who would win between a mermaid and a pirate? Yeah, REC wonders too. Well, wait no more, as the answer will be revealed at UBC REC’s Water Wars, being held on Thursday November 17th at the UBC Aquatic Centre.
Can anything stop these sultry sirens?
Is it the summer time sun-kissed locks, lack of clothing or permanent state of being wet that makes mermaids such a force to be reckoned with? Only pirates know the answer to that. It has long been told that these sassy mythical creatures are the Achilles heel of any treasure seeking pirate.
However, many mermaids lose the battle after being taken with a pirate’s often unrefined appearance, rogue personality and adventurous, seafaring lifestyle.
