Am I allowed to post woody Allen quotes?

Oh well, I will.

As followers of mine know, I have spent the past 15 years writing a book of all the monsters in legend in the world. Well, Woody Allen found some. These are from an article he wrote for The New Republic in 1974:

"The Flying Snoll. A lizard with 400 eyes: 200 for distance and 200 for reading. According to legend if a man gazes directly at the face of the Snoll he immediately loses his right to drive in New Jersey.
The Frean. The Frean is a sea monster with the body of a crab and the head of a certified public accountant.
The Great Roe. A mythological beast with the head of a lion and the body of a lion, though not the same lion… The appearance of a Roe is generally considered unlucky and usually precedes a famine or news of a cocktail party.
The Weal. A large white mouse with the lyrics to "Am I Blue?" printed on its stomach. The Weal is unique amongst rodents in that it can be picked up and played like an accordion."
