I understand that there were some heated arguements over whether all the Ark surfaces should be sanded smooth or if very low traffic areas could suffice with rough hewn products. It seems that the Arktexture debate caused some splinter factions to break away. This dichotomy was left to fester and ultimately caused delays in the completion date.

It must have been something when they saw that rainbow arking overhead. As the water receded, the tops of mountains formed an arkipeligo.

Most people don't know, but God had narrowed his choice down to two people. It came down to Noah and Herman, a long-time competitor of Noah's.

But Noah beat out his ark-rival.

Noah was a good man and took no satisfaction that while he was safe and dry (mostly), all his arkenemies drowned in the flood.

Or the adversaries he really dreaded confronting: his ark enemas.

Too bad he didn't have better technology. He could have used an ark-welder.

His problem was trying to build it himself. He should have just bought one of those Roman arks.

Nah, anything Roman moves around too much to be useful.

Noah was accused of many things, hubris as well as many others. Not many are aware that he exhibited the unmitigated Gaulle to attempt to name his ship The Arche de Triomphe.

He even tried to create a comic book after he landed, riding on the fame of his boat: "Arkie," it was called.

It's a little known fact that Noah really enjoyed floating around with all those animals. When they finally landed, however, Noah did give in to dis-pair.

Frankly, I think the whole original point of this thread is coming unraveled.

It's true God gave Noah the instructions to build the ark, but Noah had to gopher wood himself.

I'm thinking the original thread was just something to string us along. Something to tied us over to this Ark/flood thread. Probably knot what Noah envisioned.

When Noah built the model of the Ark, he accidently put it on his best hat. So he had to tun the Ark over to get his cap sized.

Well, punwit, I'm embarrassed to say that my oldest son got your one pun that I didn't (that you had to explain to me)
quote:
Not even the most modern ships can boast the number of braces that the ark can.
He was reading through this thread (all my kids love the pun threads) and thought that was hilarious. I asked him how he knew "braces" was two of an animal, and he said, "Don't you remember in LoTR where Samwise says he wishes he had a 'brace of coneys.'"?

[Wall Bash] I hate it when my kids keep proving they are smarter than me.

At one point during the construction of the Ark Noah found himself seriously in debt. He couldn't find anyone to lend him the financing he needed to complete his project. He was sinking into despair and finally the family got together to brainstorm. They came up with the idea to host a circus-like benefit. They had many fun games and appearences by famous perfomers. They gathered enough money to complete the Ark and everyone agreed that The Arkaide was a huge success.

Fortunately, Noah was soon awash in liquid assets.

<good one on the brace thing. I missed that too!>

Bob,

Liquid assets... are these related to paired seahorses?

I think those were pared, not paired.

For years after the flood, and before the forests had reestablished well, the boards from the ark were used to make torches to brighten things up a bit. The wood burned so brightly they naturally called them ark lights.

Okay, that was lame, but I'm running out of ark jokes.

When Noah assigned his crew to different tasks, everyone wanted the lookout job, even though the crow's nest was so tall as to be scary.

Being in the ark was worse than the heights.

God let two twin brothers named Frank come on the boat. They loved to play ball. Baseball, soccer, tennis, basketball, they just played every ball game they could think of or create materials for.

They were know as the Ball Ark Franks.
