WETA Workshop, the company that did all the crazy weapons and armor for the Lord of the Rings movies, fulfilled a double-amputee’s dream by creating a mermaid tail for her so she could swim. Aside from it looking very cool and letting the woman swim quite well, it’s a great thing that WETA took it upon themselves to do it for the woman. I love hearing about stuff like this.
