Noah's Ark destroyed by flood

http://thegoodlordabove.com/articles/details/235

The new 'Noah's Ark' Theme Park in Williamstown, Kentucky was destroyed in a flood earlier today. The sudden flash flood only seemed to affect the location of the Ark Encounter Theme Park, which was in the final phases of construction.

Snort, oh the irony

awwww, geeee

Reminds me of when the LDS church swindled my alma mater (a state university) into a land swap so they could build a student union for Mos only on an entire city block that used to be our central parking lot on campus. During its construction (over a summer) the thing was struck by lightning TWICE!! And they still didn't get the hint.

I can only hope they will get freaked out and see it as a "sign" that they should just not do that again.
