what's the deal? What's up with whales swallowing prophets and puppets? I mean, when Jonah showed up in the whale, do you think Pinocchio yelled at him "Get OUT. This here is MY whale?" Was it the same whale? Chapter and Verse please.

Well seriously, Pinocchio lived about 2000 years after Jonah, in western Italy. And it was not a whale, but more likely a shark-whale (that happens to belong to the fish family). Though the story of Jonah could have been a prophetic account of a wooden puppet, who's nose grew when he said a lie, and showed a pattern of escapism (as Jonah) and was fallowed by a cricket, and enchanted by a Fairy. You could be on to something here.

It wasn't a whale. It was a fish. This is the ultimate Jonah and the whale answer.

I believe his name was James, not Jonah.
"In 1891, a whaling crew operating off the Falkland Islands was beset with difficulties. A whale, which emerged when a harpoon sunk into its flesh, turned on the small boat and capsized it. Three of the men who were overboard were unable to make it back to the mother vessel.
Later that evening, the dying whale surfaced and was rigged to the side of the whaling ship. When the crew began the task of butchering it, one of the three missing men, James Bartley, was found inside the whale’s stomach. He had survived in his mammalian undersea prison for 15 hours! The acidity of the whale’s stomach had permanently bleached his skin and removed his hair, and he was almost blind. Unable to continue his chosen trade, Bartley turned to shoe making and remained a cobbler the rest of his life."

Obviously, Jonah was just a puppet.

well whales swallow prophets, and whales swallow puppets. thus one must conclude with sensible logic that prophet= wooden puppet, coincidentally both made by gepetto

Jesus also turned water into wine. What's the problem?
