Naw. I think I got the instructions confused. I got lost when I tried
to "go fer" wood, and while my inclination would be to saw it into
planks for some reason ark building requires that one "cube" it.

It has been raining, sometimes hard, for at least some portion of the
last 24 days.
The record is something like 33 days.

My ark will be diesel powered, of course, and fully provisioned for an
offshore voyage of 40 days and 40 nights. I think a watermaker will be
essential.

Here's my question (asked of several who have come to my door asking if I
believed the Bible):

Once you've built your ark, and loaded two of all the animals on earth
thereon, and spent about two weeks at sea, who cleaned up all the crap in
the bottom of your ark?

Peggy Hall may have an interest in this also!

If my post indicated such to you, then I apologize. I intended to be a
little humorous, not to start a flame war.

That's easy. It all flowed into a portable waste disposal unit and out into
the drink. Enviromental concerns were waylaid at the time, given that there
was plenty of water to dilute the stuff.

There was a study, or paper one time about just this. They said, since the
animals would not be able to move much, the metabolism would slow down and
both reduce intake and output. IMHO, is why they abandoned the ark high on
a mountain where it is hard to get to. Probably still stinks bad.

Noah pretty well had his fill of that floating zoo. Doesn't the Bible
say that just about the first thing he did after they escaped the ark
was plant a vineyard? Priorities, you know. :-)


On topic slant: If the stories about Noah, Gilgamesh, etc etc etc etc
are either true or remotely close to true, then it looks like a whole
lot of mankind is directly descended from.........Boaters! :-)

More rain today, more forecast for tomorrow. Moving rapidly into second
place for the number of consecutive rainy days in this region since
modern record keeping began.

If Noah had his wits about him, he probably ran the ark with a steam
engine. Lots of water available, and with just a bit of drying out he
would have had plenty of animal "chips" to use for fuel.
