Is God rolling the dice?
Either God rolled a one or rising flood waters cast a giant die into Lake Coeur d'Alene last week.
The latter was confirmed after the heavy steel object was recovered by Coeur d'Alene city workers Monday morning.
Its "snake eye" facing upward, the die washed ashore between The Resort and Independence Point over the weekend.
After photos of the mysterious die began to surface on social media, intrigue immediately followed.
Readers reached out to The Press, inquiring about the dotted square that could be seen floating on the lake, but a popular website thread perhaps gave it the most attention.
Reddit, a social news aggregation site, had a thread labeled "A giant metal die just washed up on shore where I live," featuring a photo and more than 400 comments/Ryan Collingwood, Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
