And when you have people shut in at home, something weird's going on, that's just a great recipe for conspiracism.

I mean, absolutely, that is the case.

And anytime there's an unusual weather event, which, of course, these days is a lot of the time, unfortunately, there's always a lot of conspiracy theories that come along with it.

And so in recent years, weather's become more extreme.

There's been a lot of discussion, sometimes even from politicians, about how this storm or that storm was actually caused by some kind of weather control device.

I mean, this is classic stuff.

It's in part because we want somebody to be behind the things that happen.

And like the weirder the event is, the more we want it to have been deliberately caused.

So a couple of weeks ago, we actually had two blizzards at once.

We had the blizzard of snow in the streets, and we also had the blizzard of memes and speculation on social media.

And the one that we're talking about today, the one that got the most traction, had to do with a sea monster called the Leviathan.

I mean, it's a great line to say.

You actually just described the Leviathan perfectly, because that is exactly what it is.

It shows up in the Bible.

There's a couple mentions of a terrible sea monster in Job and Psalms and Isaiah.

And unsurprisingly, because this is true of a lot of the Bible, there isn't a consistent description of it within it.

In Job, it's a monster with impenetrable scales and enormous teeth.

In Psalms, it has multiple heads like a hydra.

In Isaiah, it's described as a twisting serpent.

But, I mean, a lot of the Bible is symbolic.
