[WP] The story goes that a baby is replaced by a log made to look human that soon sickens, dies and is buried. But medicine has advanced some since medieval Europe. More and more of these wooden children are saved. Worse, the illusion was never meant to last a lifetime.

[EU] In the end, the prophecies were wrong. We did't have to worry about Cthulhu rising from the depths and destroying humanity. No, what we needed to worry about was whatever the hell that thing that reached down and crushed him like an ant was.

[WP] There are mighty and terrible things that come to herald the end of worlds, and lesser but still awe-inspiring things that herald the end of nations or of cities. But you're currently dealing with the thing come to herald the end of your shed, and it's really more annoying then anything.
