"Now the Lord had prepared a great fish" (Jonah 1:17)

Just to let all you Bible doubters out there that the tale of Jonah and the great fish could really have occurred I give you this little story out of Australia. An abalone diver, Eric Nerhus, was partially swallowed, head first, by a Great White Shark off the southeast coast but managed to escape after pushing his abalone chisel into the fish. His injuries were rather amazingly limited to a broken nose and, rather obviously, bite marks.

The shark, which fled the scene, has not yet been commented as to whether "the Lord spake unto" him and, even if he believes that the Lord did so, whether he had been taking his medication at the time.
