# Word is made flesh as God reveals himself... as a fish - the carp was about to be slaughtered and made into gefilte fish for Sabbath dinner when it suddenly began shouting apocalyptic warnings in Hebrew ... 'It said "Tzaruch shemirah" and "Hasof bah",' he told the New York Times, 'which essentially means that everyone needs to account for themselves because the end is near.' ... The animated carp commanded Rosen to pray and study the Torah. Rosen tried to kill the fish but injured himself. It was finally butchered by Nivelo and sold.
This is bizarre. A fish speaks and it still gets killed and chopped up. How amazing does a miracle have to be these days?

Henry Ward [e] [w] said I'm not sure that you can really make much of a talking fish. I believe Bush can talk, is that not a miracle enough? [added 21st Mar 2003]

Stu said This happens all the time round our house when my wife makes the gefilte fish for the Sabbath. Only with carp though. [added 27th Mar 2003]
