Can Oarfish Predict Earthquakes?

Can Oarfish Predict Earthquakes? | Päivät | Scoop.it
From www.livescience.com - October 22, 2013 8:14 PM
Finding a giant oarfish on the beach is a rare occurrence, since the fish is a deepwater species that's rarely seen at all. Some are claiming that oarfish washing ashore is a sign that an earthquake will soon follow.

The Chinese actually invented a printing press before Gutenberg but he created the printing press that was used in Europe.  This could produce mulitple lines of text at once which increased the speed and cost of books and other reading materials.
