Jewish Miracle Fish Believed To Warn Of Apocaplyse
March 15, 2003
Apocalypse Predicted By Talking Miracle Fish. It said "Tzaruch shemirah" and "Hasof bah", two fish-workers told the New York Times, which essentially means the end is near.'
The animated carp commanded the fish workers to pray and study the Torah.
"Some now believe the fish's outburst was a warning about the dangers of the impending war in Iraq.
Some say they fear the born-again President Bush believes he is preparing the world for the Second Coming of Christ, and war in Iraq is just the opening salvo in the battle of Armageddon.
... Others in New Square discount the apocalyptic reading altogether and suggest the notion of a talking fish is as fictional as Tony Soprano's talking-fish dream in an episode of The Sopranos.
Stand-up comedians have already incorporated the carp into their comedy routines at weddings. One gefilte company has considered changing it's slogan to: 'Our fish speaks for itself.'
Still, the shouting carp corresponds with the belief of some Hasidic sects that righteous people can be reincarnated as fish."
