Noah You Knock Up A Mean Piece Of Wood

.

I can definitely cancel the comics, there's hours of fun to be had.

The book of Genesis describes Noah's Ark as a wooden vessel 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. Based on the shortest estimated length of the cubit, this means it was at least 450 feet (135 meters) long, 75 feet (22.5 meters) wide, and 45 feet (13.5 meters) high. These proportions are ideal to meet the demands of a ship's sea-keeping, hull strength and stability. The ark's size is equivalent to an average cargo vessel by today's standards, which is in line with the limits of timber construction.

Oh please let them be provoked into building that.

It leaves me lost for words Peter and ironically I have just had the most fantastic hour watching "Walking with dinosaurs" it's so well done you could believe the things were real, a truly amazing series, a must if you haven't seen it. The two episodes covered about 150 million years. See my "What do you buy a man with a brain" article for details.
And these dumb fucks,apart from being stupid beyond belief, how arrogant they are to think this planet is all about humans.
Hope you enjoyed.
