Sorry, folks! One more bed bug thread: Noah's Ark.

Despite my “protestations” in my OP, this thread is a parody of the fish-on-Ark thread. Just in case you have any further questions, the “sticky” What-Is-Pit-Worthy shows an emerging doper consensus that parodies and satires are pit-worthy, and the mods going along with that, so it’s official. You may have to do an internal word-search to find it fairly far down-thread. It wasn’t a very high priority in the genreal discussion.

I double-checked the sticky before placing it here. It seemed especially appropriate because the thread I parodied here was a BBQ thread.

Oh, and %&$#@!!!

:wink:

This would be the proper place to insert an FU, but that violates even the Pit rules. Consider yourself in receipt of a mild scolding, without too many vulgarities. And none in violation of the rules.

ETA: I almost forgot: “~!@#%^&*()_+" And another thing: +_)(*&^%#@!~”, Dumbass!

So who on the Ark would have been in charge of the syphilis spyrochete and the gonorrhea bacterium?

Whoops, looks like someone needs to check their work. This story is written down in the Bible, and therefore necessarily is perfectly, literally true. QED :wink:

Seems implausible that Noah could have remained a religious man if that were the case. No, I bet the viruses survived in the water. After all, they are actually demons, which are pesky, tenacious critters.

Look at it from Noah’s POV. He’s told there’s going to be a large flood, and that he must play zookeeper to a multitude of animals who, he’s promised, aren’t going to eat each other during a very long voyage. He complies with this heavenly voice, and behold there’s a large flood. Everybody dies but Noah and the Noahites. If anyone ever had a reason to believe, it’s Noah. He’s surely not going to get pissed at a few cold sores and a couple of crotch crickets after surviving such a disaster.

Yeah, croch critters plus leprosy and ebola. This is Genesis, not Job :rolleyes:

This thread should be moved by a Mod :wink:

You know, if I were God and wanted to prove some sort of flood-related point, instead of going to all that effort to break the laws of physics, I’d just implant the *memories *of a flood in Noah’s mind. Seems a whole lot easier.

And the lord parted the clouds and there came forth a whoosh.

Ah, but they were. All patriarchal societies adhere to the principle of “One man, one vote.” As used in Discworld, the Patriarch of the society is the Man, and has the Vote.

And tapeworms! Don’t forget the tapeworms!

Mmmm … no. I like Morgenstern’s “crotch crickets” better.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Srsly. :smiley:

But not as fun.

Seriously, who doesn’t, after playing Sim City for a couple hours, reach for the Disaster button?
