Seventh Seal
And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour. Book of Revelation 8:1
The Animal Uprising™ returneth:
Drivers on Interstate 880 started calling authorities around 5.45 am to report the animal “walking” on the busy motorway near the Oakland Coliseum.
The little gray pup apparently made it onto land from a nearby San Francisco Bay estuary and crossed the road in the middle of the night.
Several officers tried to get the animal, nicknamed “Fruitvale” for the Oakland neighbourhood where it was found, into a cage, but it jumped underneath the patrol car.
Obviously, this was a highly trained ninja scout seal if it jumped under a patrol car. Anyone who has seen non-ninja scout seals know that they more or less waddle.
Obviously, an invasion is imminent.

Just means that California is going to be first…

‘Fruitvale.’ heh. What an appropriate name for a California neighborhood.

I for one welcome our new animal overlords.
But mostly I welcome the return of the Animal Uprising (TM).

I, too, welcome the new overlords. They couldn’t possibly do any worse than our current overlords in DC. They might even be better. After all, animals aren’t usually nasty and vindictive.

I wouldn’t mind harbor seals as the new overlords, but that pup was a sea lion and they’re crabby!
