When he started running faster than a speeding pullet.

A snail calls the police to say he has just been mugged by two slugs. They ask him to give more details about what exactly happened.

"I don't know, I can't remember too much -- it all happened so fast!"

"OK, just try to remember anything that might help".

"Well, I do know it was two homeless guys".

This stirred up a memory from studying Russian a long time ago.

"I didn't do anything" translates as «Я ничего не сделал», which word for word says "I nothing not did."

Even better: "Nobody said anything" = «Никто ничего не сказал» = "Nobody nothing not said." o0)

Now that I think of it, Spanish is similar. "I didn't do anything" = "No hice nada".

I saw something about the so-called "Mothman of Point Pleasant". It made me wonder why they didn't just put out a giant lightbulb.

"Doctor, doctor, you have to help me! I think I'm a moth!"
"Sir, I'm a dentist not a psychiatrist."
"I know, but your light was on."

Surströmming ?

"During the production of surströmming, just enough salt is used to prevent the raw herring from rotting while allowing it to ferment. A fermentation process of at least six months gives the fish its characteristic strong smell and somewhat acidic taste." (Wikipedia)
