The following story was originally in the Daily Mail, UK.
Is something strange in the air these days in New York City?
A Jewish fish-cutter in New York was busy slaughtering a batch of carp when one of them started shouting apocalyptic warnings to him in Hebrew. 'The fish shouted that everyone needed to account for themselves because the end is near,' says Zalmen Rosen, the fish-cutter.
The fish told Zalmen to pray and study the Torah, before identifying itself as the soul of a local man who had died the previous year. After a moment of stunned silence, all hell broke loose. Mr. Rosen's co-worker Louis Nivelo was convinced the talking fish was the work of Satan and ran around screaming: 'It's the devil! The devil is here!' before collapsing into a pile of packing crates.
Zalmen panicked and tried to kill the fish with a machete-sized knife. But the carp bucked so wildly that he succeeded only in slicing a huge gash in his own thumb and had to be rushed to hospital. The fish flopped off the counter – still muttering in Hebrew — and was butchered by Louis Nivelo.
Apparently, word of this so-called miracle has spread like wildfire with some people calling it a miracle and others laughing their butts off about it. I have to say, I'm among the latter. I just can't imagine God speaking through a fish that was about to be hacked up, frozen and later eaten.
I am amazed that renowned psychic Uri Geller, who I wrote about in my book "Glimpses 2" It Could Happen To You! Actually stands on the side of the testimony of the two men.
'I believe that in a cynical and skeptical world, signposts for the human spirit must be luminous and unmistakable,' he said. "Subtle hints to the soul go unnoticed. The message has to be delivered in lurid capitals and bellowed through a megaphone. If messages through a fish seems an eccentric way for God to communicate, it is important to remember the higher intelligence has been attempting to communicate with us for thousands of years through more conventional and low-key means, such as books. So a fish makes an excellent loudspeaker for a Torah reading."
Yeah, right. NOT! Sorry, Uri. I just can't believe this one.

Shari: That's good to hear, but don't believe this one.
I'm with you, I'm finding this fish story hard to swallow. Maybe if I had it with a little white sauce. Oy, now if it were a gafiltafish, I might understand it knowing a little Hebrew. LOL
