#Jonah and The Whale#
^w^ The biblical story of Jonah and The Whale tells of a prophet, swallowed by a whale and thrown up whole onto the beach three days later.
^w^ As early as 1554, Rondelet in `Libri de Piscibus Marinis` offered evidence that a whale is anatomically incapable of swallowing a man whole.
^w^ The only marine creature that is capable of swallowing a man whole is `Charcharodon Carcharis` -- the Great White Shark.
