Noah's Ark Breaks Free

[Sarah G]

''As winds of up to 110 kph continued to batter the Netherlands on Wednesday, a replica of Noah’s ark has come adrift in the harbour of the staunchly Protestant fishing village of Urk.

The 70 metre-long 13-metre high replica of Noah’s ark came loose from its moorings in the strong winds and caused considerable damage to several other boats.

The ark, which contains a Bible museum, has been in the harbour for the past few months. ‘The damage is quite considerable,’ said mayor Pieter van Maaren on Twitter.

The emergency services rescued the seven people on board and there were no injuries, broadcaster NOS said.''

Seems like a sign

Do you mean a sign to show the stupidity of building such a ridiculous craft?

I was being facetious whereas your reply was sardonic, implying an ocean of discontent and a storm of dismay.

Might want to batten down the hatches.

I think the joke was simply pointing out that the article isn't interesting. It made us all laugh here in the Netherlands though. Because the people of Urk built an ark and it got free and smashed up the other boats like it was the Godzilla of boats. The people of Urk are entertaining with their old school religion and cocaine. God bless them

LOL, you really made me chuckle with that post!

Um, sorry? Cocaine?

Um, sorry? Cocaine?

It's been reported that the fishing village of Urk, located in The Netherlands' bible belt, has been the center of coke trafficking.

Stating the obvious is not being sardonic.
