How, oh how is the Danube red and not blue?

Thus says the Lord, “By this you shall know that I am the Lord: behold, with the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water that is in the ~~Nile~~ Danube, and it shall turn into blood. The fish in the ~~Nile~~ Danube shall die, and the ~~Nile~~ Danube will stink, and the ~~Egyptians~~ Germans, Austrians, Slovakians, Hungarians, Croatians, Serbians, Romanians, Bulgarians, Moldovans, and Ukrainians will grow weary of drinking water from the ~~Nile~~ Danube.”

If Johann Strauss Jr. says the Danube is blue, than by gum it shall be blue.

To say otherwise is de-Nile.

Whatever I was expecting was not that.

That was something else entirely.

At first, I was going to object that another river was green, but that would’ve put me in bad Oder with you perhaps.
