1. And there shall rise up out of the Water that lieth on the face of the Earth a great Beast.
2. And its Countenance shall be fierce indeed. For lo, its Girth shall be of an hundred and eighty Cubits. But it shall have the shape of an Rabbit. And it will sow Death and Torment on all the sons of Hebron.
3. And the Rabbit will have One Head. And of the Hairs on its head may no number be known to Men.
4. And its Whiskers did number Ten. And so did they twitch, accordingly.
5. So are the Last Days.
