That would be the same Noah, of course, the self-same "preacher of righteous" whose first act upon reaching dry land was to slaughter fifty percent of what would then be critically endangered species and then burn their carcasses so that Yahweh could smell a sweet savour. Next he planted grapes, got pissed on their wine and blamed his son Ham for stumbling upon his own drunken and naked carcass, thus giving him the pretext for cursing Ham's son Canaan. As the Skeptic's Annotated Bible puts it: "If you want to be just, perfect, and righteous, kill lots of endangered species, get drunk, expose yourself to your children, and then curse your grandchildren because their parents saw you naked. I know it sounds a bit strange, but to God it is just, perfect, and righteous behavior."

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
