Via Gene Healy, here's the story of a bonafide miracle, a fish that talks.

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.

Many believe the carp was channelling the troubled soul of a revered community elder who recently died; others say it was God. The only witnesses to the mystical show were Zalmen Rosen, a 57-year-old Hasid with 11 children, and his co-worker, Luis Nivelo. They say that on 28 January at 4pm they were about to club the carp on the head when it began yelling.

Good enough for me, the word of a couple of fish-cutters. I don't need it on tape...I'm convinced. This is truly god at work.

Where do I sign up to convert?
