Default God appears as 20 lb. Carp

Quote:
According to two fish-cutters at the New Square Fish Market, the carp was about to be slaughtered and made into gefilte fish for Sabbath dinner when it suddenly began shouting apocalyptic warnings in Hebrew.
However, the Christian witness, who finally butchered and sold the fish, believes the carp was the Devil.

Default It makes sense in a way

Imagine God is in Heaven trying to choose the next vehicle for human communication. Hm. Which one has more credibility?

This would have been more funny and less frightening if it had been an article for The Onion.

Default God returns as a fish

A fish caught in the Atlantic was brought to New York and was being prepared for slicing into Gefilte Fish when the fish started shouting warnings about the end of the world, in Hebrew. The Jewish sect of 7000 people see it a a messiah, God himself. But they ate him anyway.

They ate the fish?

Shouldn't they have crucified it first?

Now how much have sales at the New Square Fish Market increased because of this 'miracle'?
Certainly some people are really scared. Does it all look a bit fishy to you?
