    I have a more important question - what the hell happened to all that water? To hell with those thin-skinned pillow-biters. - Me, 10/03/2001

      I quote : Genesis 36:22 And spoketh Noah "Lord, where upon will thine waters flow?". And the Lord did much laugheth, and pulleth He the large plug from the plughole. And sayeth the Lord "see, the waters draineth in a clockwise direction. Calleth this the 'coriolis effect'". I think this pretty much captures the essence of your question. Of course, some bible translations use the more tradional "enormously erect Water Stopping thingy", instead of the now more commonly accepted "large plug". ----------------------- Reg : "Well, what Jesus blatantly fails to appreciate is that it's the meek who are the problem."

        OK, I have read all replies to this post prior to my reply. I am shocked, never did I think I would see the day. Americans using sarcasm, humour and subtely all at the same time. I am much impressed. Anyhow, I know that my ancestors had had a little too much beer that day. Took a quick slash out the back door and BAM, flood. :-D Michael Martin Pegasystems Pty Ltd Australia martm@pegasystems.com +61 413-004-018 "Don't belong. Never join. Think for yourself.

        Someone sent me this the other day (I think it might have come from the Onion - not sure)


        Subject: SAN FRANCISCO MAN BECOMES FIRST AMERICAN TO GRASP IRONY. SAN FRANCISCO - The UK Paper The Daily Telegraph spoke to Jay Fullmer, 38, who became the first American to come to grips with the concept of irony yesterday. "It was weird," Fullmer said, "I was in London and, like, talking to this guy and it was raining and stuff and he said, like, great weather, or something like that." Said Fullmer: "And I thought - wait a minute, it's like, no way is it great weather." Fullmer soon realised that the other man's 'mistake' was deliberate. "This guy was pretty cool about it," Fullmer said. Fullmer, who is 39 next month and married with two children, aged 8 and 3, planned to use irony himself in future. "I'm like saying it all the time." he said. "Last weekend I was like grilling steaks and I like burned the crap out of them and I said 'great weather'."

              Actually, the flood did happen. Noah did build his boat and filled it full of animals. This is very important because it did save the world from total wipeout. The part of the story that is never told is that on the day of the flood, they actually had the first ever Superbowl. Unfortunately, when halftime came and everyone hit the bathroom at the same time, the primitive sewage system couldn't handle the stress and thus the great flood.

                LOL. I was thinking that very thing when I made the post. I knew it was very "America centric" and probably would have many people scratching their heads. Tim Smith Descartes Systems Sciences, Inc.

                    Blasphemy!! This cannot be so. It's too logical, explains far too many things, and is presented in clear and unambiguous language. You need to rethink this entire story, add in a little more killing and threats of retribution, retell it verbally through several generations, then write it down in ancient greek on a parchment that will not last long enough to be found by anyone in later years, then ask many people to copy it, adding and embellishing as they see fit. Only then will you understand the true word. ----------------------- Reg : "Well, what Jesus blatantly fails to appreciate is that it's the meek who are the problem."
