Talking Fish

Imagine if your canned sardines spoke to you...

Jar of gefilte fish, opened in Israel, issues ultimatum for Saddam Hussein to abandon his weapons of mass destruction
[via the Underwater Times news archive]

and another report of dooms-day-prophecising-carp, from BBC, no less: 'Talking fish' stuns New York

Would someone care to enlighten me why only Jewish / Israeli fish have been heard giving prophecies?
