August 19, 200520 yr We all know the story of Noah's Ark (if you don't stop reading now). You know, animals, two by two, rain etc. etc. Well, about a week into the flood the giraffes come up to Noah;- "Er, Noah" "yes" "We have a bit of a problem down below, it's the elephants" "what, they seemed nice enough when they got on, what's the trouble?" "Well.... Ok thay sh1t rather a lot, space is getting a bit tight" "Ah, Easy' said Noah "there's a spare cabin where the unicorns didn't get on, put it in there" Time passes. "Noah" "what now?" "unicorn's cabin's full' "OK, we'll have to shovel it over the side then" They shoveled for days, weeks even... finally the ark is on an even keel and they sail into the sunset..... Now choose your punchline:- 1492 Columbus ran aground on it. 1770 Cook found exotic plants growing on it. 1644 Tasman discovered it ** Totally useless fact. In 164x Abel Tasman (a Dutchman) discovered NZ then Tasmania, he then sailed right around Australia without discovering it, he actually sailed between Tasmania and the mainland and still missed it. You don't hear of too many famous Dutch navigators, do you? "I don't want to know why you can't. I want to know how you can!"
