All hail Nemo!

It is amazing that both of them heard this though, and its well needed, the end is Nigh! Its quite evident.

It instructed him to pray and study the Torah, but Mr Rosen admitted that in a state of panic he attempted to kill the fish, injuring himself in the process and ending up in hospital.

This is one qirky article.

Thus Big Mouth Billy Bass is born...

Two brothers are out for the day in their tin boat. The first one hooks into a big one, fights it for a half hour or so and when the fish finally tires he brings it to the boat. it is the drop-dead oddest fish they have ever seen. before they can drop it into the cooler the fish says, "I'm an enchanted fish and if you'll let me go I'll grant your any wish."

Well the boys are a bit skeptical but they decide he's too ugly to eat so they drop the fish over the gunnel. looking up from the lake, the fish says "ok, what will it be???"

Before having time to think the first brother says, "all right, turn the lake into budweiser!"

Before you know it POOF! The lake turns into a foaming vat of beer.

"Now why did you go and do a damn fool thing like that" the other brother says, "Now we'll have to pee in the boat!!!!"

i thought i heard my dinner talk to me last night.............

Yummy! Sushi!
Come here Nemo...

my goldfish was terribly distraught when I shared this story with him. He said. "Surely the end is near!"

He also told me that:

"the men will face terrible strife and hardships for the remainder of their lives for the slaughter of the only hebrew speaking fish. "

now it makes me wonder which of the men slaughtered the fish, the christian or jew?

That was an excellent story. A fish talks to you. You freak. You then kill the fish. And sell it. Somehow I wouldn't be too surprised if the police ended up busting a meth lab next door.

Lol, I think I would keep it as a pet.

LOL-I really liked this story!

'Tzaruch shemirah' means need guarding or youll need guarding 'Hasof bah',means the end is near,

thats just my 2 cents

This actually was in the press nearly a year ago if I recall. When I first read it I thought that it was either some sort of satire or maybe an article from the Weekly World News. Interestingly enough it was in actual news sources.

When I asked some residents of New Square they mentioned the following few points.

1) The worker understood Yiddish because of his experience working with the Hasidic community, however Hasidic Jews do not ever speak Hebrew conversationally so he would not have understood the fish's "words". Hasidic Jews call Hebrew "Lashon HaKodesh" , the holy language, and are prohibited from conversing in it, and any use other than Prayer and learning the Bible etc. As the story goes the fish uttered two hebrew phrases when only the worker was around. When the Jewish man came back it said other phrases. The residents of the town who I spoke to did not comprehend how Mr. Nivelo would understand the initial two phrases.

2) Reincarnation as an animal is more of a Kabbalistic theory including a fairly well known one about the Cats in the historic Israeli town of Safed (Tzfat) being reincarnated humans. When I was in that city I was, of course, drawn to find some truth in this. What I found was a complete lack of fear in the cats of humans. Usually when a person approaches a stray cat they stick around for a moment being inquisitive, and then run away scared. These cats don't move, in fact they actually will sometimes just approach you as though you're their owner of 20 years. Does that mean they're reincarnated people, I dunno. Maybe they're just used to people being around. Either way the concept is an old Kabbalistic one.

In essence, the concept brought about by this story is a possible one, according to the devout Jews of the community. Most of them however viewed it with a great degree of skepticism.
