Wondering if the BBC hired Elroy:
Kenya's 'Koranic fish' disappears
A fish with markings that resembled a Koranic text has disappeared from
the Kenyan Fisheries Department in Mombasa.
The tuna fish, which had provoked intense interest from Muslims, was
apparently stolen by people posing as National Museum officials.
The theft was discovered when the real official from the museum, based
at Fort Jesus in Mombasa, came to get the fish.
The fish was being studied to find out if the Arabic inscription "You
are the best provider" was natural or a hoax.
Sceptics say the writing was the work of someone who caught the fish and
then threw it back into the sea.
But others say this would be impossible, and local imams are said to
have been talking in the mosques about the fish.

Like the Japanese heiki crab, whose shell looks like a samurai warrior.
