Welcome to The Hidden Almanac. I’m Reverend Mord. Today is July 11, 2014.

It was on this day in 1280 that a group of the small birds that walk around inside of crocodile mouths formed the Cult of the World Crocodile. The feathered priests preached that an era of plenty was upon us and the Great Maw would never close again. They were mostly eaten by a single confused crocodile, who is quoted as saying, “They always got out of the way before. I feel terrible about this.” The Cult of the World Crocodile persists in very small numbers among cleaner birds, who preach that the Great Maw is in a time of tribulation, but that the faithful will eventually be rewarded.
