OK, you've worn me down....
I fear that the commenters are confused and need a little help with how Reformed theology is reflected in my posts. Or more specifically how I view the particular news item from a Reformed perspective. So, here's what I'll do....
As long as you don't do it too close to large bodies of water as Calvinism does tend to attract sea monsters. It is said that John Knox was sorely vexed by the tendency of the Loch Ness Monster to stick his head through the kirk window during his sermons.
(I've been waiting to tell that little story for years.)

I just love lore like that! Makes me such a sucker for Lives of the Saints. LOL. "Nessie" being some Leviathan? (Rev. 13:1)

I'm glad I gave you the opportunity to do so :-)

Patrick and the snakes. George and the dragon. Knox and Nessie? He's in good company.
