Carl Jung suggested the fish as the perfect symbol for the emergent, individuated self -- the person of perfect gnosis. Another suggestion is that the fish represents unreconciled elements of the unconconsious, bits of the mind not connected to our sense of self that appear and disappear beneath the murky waters of dreams and unawareness.

Is that why the fish has suddenly made an appearance as the perfect harbinger of doom? Why are people so quick to believe in a talking fish when so many obvious technological explanations for a hoax come to mind?

But what if it's just a red herring, just so much tripe? Should we allow superstitious types to carp on it continuously? Are only sceptics allowed to express their trouts?

Oh, why don't you admit you love a man who can twist his tongue to produce such evil results?
