Tee hee! In a SDMB thread, in one of the endless, pointless discussions where someone tries to 'prove' how stupid someone else's beliefs are (OK, it's about Chick tracts, but really, why bother?), the following question was asked:
And one response:
Haw haw haw!
...it's written that the Ark measured 137 meters by 23 meters by 13 meters. This comes out to about 41,000 cubic meters of volume. However, later in the tract, it says, "It was big enough to haul 50,000 animals with room to spare." However, this comes out to be less than .82 cubic meters of space per animal... that includes space for the animal itself, its food and water, and any waste material it may have.
How, pray tell, does that work, given that it's physically impossible to do what Mr. Chick described in his tract?
And one response:
Most of 'em were birds, and Noah kept kicking the cages so half of 'em would be flying at any given moment.
That also kept the Ark from being too heavy.
Haw haw haw!
