This ominous portent from California last week: Giant oarfish washed up on the beach. Second one since I-don’t-know-when.
“Beware the feafhoref and tremble in your homef when ferpentf of the deep emerge with their mouthf miffing.” Josephus Minimus
I was fairly certain this was written down somewhere. Maybe the Bible, or Nostradamas, or Mother Shipley, or some other trustworthy source. Turned out it was Josephus Minimus. Or would be Josephus Minimus once I post this.

Isn’t this the tale where when creatures like this appear on the beach, an earthquake is not too far in the distant future?
