Just don't build a fucking ark.

Oddly enough, I was recently reading about a group of maritime archaeologists who, based on some cuneiform accounts of the Mesopotamian flood myth, attempted to construct a round ark, sort of like a giant currach. Turns out, they could only construct one about 1/3 the size of the one in the myth without it falling to bits under its own weight.

So, when it comes to flood stories, the Mesopotamians are as fucked as the Judeo-Christians. That's the kind of religious equality I like.
