I've had a look around my desk and the closest book to me is Good omens, by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman. I've had this verified by two independent observers.
"I mean d'you know what eternity is? There's this big mountain, see, a mile high, at the end of the universe, and once every thousand years there's this little bird-"
"What little bird?" said Aziraphale suspiciously.
"This little bird I'm talking about. And every thousand years-"
"The same bird every thousand years?"
Crowley hesitated.
If you want to know what happens next, you'll have to read the book :)
