LONDON MONSTER

Once there was a monster, similar to the one from Loch Ness, living in the 
Thames River in London.  It terrorized the city's inhabitants until one day, 
those who were true and brave enough gathered their strength together and slew
the monster.  

In order to deal with this landfall of suddenly available meat, they ground 
its carcass into spicy German sausages.  Charles Dickens, at the time a cub 
reporter for The Times, wrote a newspaper article describing the events 
carrying the headline:  

IT WAS THE BEAST OF THAMES; IT WAS THE WURST OF THAMES!
