No matter how far away, you just can’t help noticing cool/huh news from you’re home country. Case in point: Nadya Vessey, a Kiwi who unfortunately loss both legs due to illness as child, has become the first to attach to herself not a prosthetic legs, but a prosthetic tail! Read more at Crave

Nadya Vessey’s legs were amputated below the knee when she was a child due to illness. At one point, reports Stuff, a child asked her what happened to her legs and she told him she was a mermaid. The idea stuck with her, so she wrote to Weta Workshop in Wellington, New Zealand, two years ago asking for a mermaid tail. To her surprise, they said they’d do it.

There you go. Remember, New Zealand’s not just the place for sheep, it’s also the worlds leading clinic for artificial tails.
