The jokes, and comments, practically write themselves.
Some lobster diver off the coast of Cape Cod was swallowed whole by a humpback whale and then, shortly after, spit out.
And no, his name is not Jonah.
Michael Packard realized what happened after feeling a bump and everything going dark. He stayed calm, and continued breathing with his oxygen tank. I don't know how he realized he was in the whale's mouth - I doubt it is the first idea that would come to mind if it were me... Packard estimates that he was in the whale's mouth for about 30 seconds before being spit out.

Forgetting all the possible quips and jokes momentarily, I am wondering what is going on that the Bible stories are suddenly coming to life and re-happening. Jonah and the whale now and just this past week a massive sinkhole opened up in Jerusalem near the Shaarei Tzedek Hospital (during the week of Korach). What's next - plagues? Tower of Babel? Something like Sodom being destroyed? Splitting of a sea? What story would be really cool for being recreated like this?
