Noah’s Ark Crashes Into Norwegian Coast Guard Vessel

No word on how many pairs of animals were lost.

They never show the tires hanging on the side of the ark/barge in the movies. But, you know, in the Bible, Noah didn't get drunk until after the flood was over with.

The Ark is now owned by the Ark of Noah Foundation, which was planning on bringing the educational vessel across the Atlantic to Rio de Janeiro for the Olympic Games this summer.

Media reports said there were no animals on board when the collision occurred.

Funny I don't recall the biblical accounts of Noah's fairy tale ark mentioning that the it had clear window coverings or a metal roof. I thought it was entirely made of gopherwood.
