Prohibitions make sex more appealing. I don't think it would be too hard to find two blokes having buttsecks within a mile radius of the Answers in Genocide Theme Park.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

I guess attendance has been sparse.  Starting the promos real early.

Quote:Creationist Ken Ham offers public schools a massive discount to bring kids to his Ark museum


Quote:Hopefully, any school that actually takes advantage of this offer will go there to have students point and laugh at exhibits of Noah’s family rounding up dinosaurs onto an ark.

That said, there is sadly a chance that schools will see the Ark Encounter as a legitimate “educational” exercise, which is why groups like the FFRF are sounding the alarm to parents who don’t want their kids coming home from school believing the Earth was created 6,000 years ago and that Jesus used to heal lepers while riding around on a triceratops.

He whined yesterday about the FFRF telling schools not to take kids to this dump on Twitter.

Had to make a snide remark.

Damn straight. Schools are there for education, not for pandering to the delusions of others.

You'll never sit at the head of a school board in the US with an attitude like that.    Wink
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I can't imagine any repeat business, and once most of the folks within 50 miles of it that want to see it have seen it, it will dry up and blow away.

The Ark! The flood! "dry up and blow away". Now you're just being downright rude! Big Grin

I wish Ken's cretinist cronies would have the courage of their convictions, fill the boat with whatever they think they'd need, get in it and just float the fuck away.

I wonder why they won't... (rhetorically)
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.'
