Maybe this belongs to Misc. discusisons, I'm not sure, but I think it's OK here. Anyway, check these links at
<a href="http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20020826/ap_wo_en_po/bulgaria_noah_s_ark_3" target="_blank">Yahoo</a> and <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/europe/2218096.stm" target="_blank">BBC</a>. I wonder what kind of problems they will encounter. One thing is for sure - they will need a lot of wooden material.

I wonder where they'll get the gopher wood?

Do you suppose the Greeks will now demand a Deukalion ark too?

I've been following Ballard's explorations and it is a fascinating story. He's made some wonderful discoveries. He's yet to discover anything like the ark nor is he looking for it.

I think that a tourest ark park is harmless enough (as long as they don't build it in my back yard). There's a lot of history in the area, and perhaps some of it will be (accuratly) presented.

Isn't Ken Ham throwing up something similar in KY?

But will they float it?

Nah, everything he produces comes from his other end...

Perhaps an attempt to build the arc would help to demonstrate how silly the whole story is.

Like I said on t.o., it sounds like the European equivalent of the Corn Palace.

Hi Peez! It's not the building of it, I'd like to see 'em fit all the animals in, float it in a record-breaking storm and then for another year. While everything on board had everything from anthrax to Weil's disease (can't think of an X, Y or Z

).

What comes off it at the end would be interesting. Votes for who to play Noah? Ken Ham? In the long tradition of scientists taking risks themselves to discover something, I think it's the least he could do...
