Got plans for this boat?

[J T]

Sat, Apr 28, 2007, 8:45pm .@. (Stoutman) doth sayeth: Looking for plans for this boat if you got any.

I need a few board feet of cedar I think.

You got the extras taken care of too?

Nope, think you need gopher wood, along with pitch.

Don' need no steenkin' plans. Here's cmplete diections. Now, if you can only figure out WTF a cubit is, Bob's your uncle.

So God said to Noah, "I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth. So make yourself an ark of gopher wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide and 30 cubits high. Make a roof for it and finish the ark to within one cubit of the top. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks. I am going to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy all life under the heavens, every creature that has breath of life in it..." Genesis 6:13-17

JOAT If you don't ask the right questions, the answers don't matter.

Wrong! Actually he was referring to his brother-in-law, HUGH Manatee. Hugh's the guy who was tending the lines on the Hindenburg and whose last words were, "No Smoking sign? WHAT 'No Smoking' sign?"

"Riiiight."

"What's a cubit?"

-Noah (as quoted by Bill Cosby)

Would that be a long cubit or a short cubit?

Possibly a metric cubit (tracable to the official standard bronze cubit kept in the weights and measures section of the library at Al Iskandria).

...and I suppose they keep the gold standard at Al Imoni?

[scouter3]

And now you too can buy your very own cubit...

[Bill in Detroit]

Nah, that won't work. It's an Egyptian cubit. It only works in the North / South orientation and, since the earth has shifted, is out of calibration.

Sheesh ... you'd think metrology labs would be up to date on this stuff.
