You can read the full story here. [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4853890.stm] Religious questions aside (although I'm sure someone will hijack this thread eventually), my question for you guys is the same one this dude's wife had: Why is this asshole wasting his money on stupid shit like this and not digging wells in Ethiopia or something? If he wanted to help the world, building a fucking boat is not the way to go about it. And not even a particularly accurate boat at that; if he's trying to show kids that the Ark really existed, is he implying that Noah had access to power tools and welding equipment (notice that his replica includes a steel motherfucking hull)? What did they run on, coal?
Anyway, thoughts?
