    And the ark landed and Noah said to the animals as commanded by the Lord, “Go forth, be fruitful, and multiply”. Some months later, Noah decided an audit was in order, so he wandered around the land checking up on the animals. There now one or more progeny for each animal pair, and things seemed to be going well, until he came across two snakes with no children. “Why haven’t you multiplied”, he asked. The snakes answered, “We can’t multiply, Noah, because we’re adders”. Noah thought for a bit, went and got his ark building tools, cut down a tree, and constructed a crudely fashioned picnic table. He placed the snakes on the table and said, “You can multiply now”. “But”, said the snakes, “we told you we’re adders”. And Noah said, “Yes, but even adders can multiply on a log table”.

    Lawyers are like cockroaches, you just can’t get rid off them.

    Loved the Steve Carell movie where he built a replica of the ark–EVAN ALMIGHTY.

    If they’re adders, couldn’t they add one more to their ranks? No ark or boat or barge could hold all those animals, food and water for all those animals, not to mention their waste. Heck, you’d also need tons of medicine considering how many animals would be stuck in their own filth for who knows how long.

    Either it never happened, or there were more than one ark, and many more survivors. And that’s ignoring how all those plants survived root rot, and how the sea life survived mixzing fresh and salt water.
