Here's the thing...if it actually is the remnants of the Ark (for real this time) then the evolutionists are going to have a fit.

But this location is in Iran...which is probably one of the last places people want to visit right now (except for Scoble I suppose). It will be interesting to see what artifacts/fossils they find in the area in addition to the "structure"--for instance, if they find the remnants of settlements at the foot of the mountains.

Agree! How could a ship (completely build with wood!!) survive so long?

I actually believe the Noachic story - yet I hesitate to say that this is the Ark that Noah had built. For starters, if the Deluge truly took place, once the waters had subsided, I think Noah would probably find a use for his wood...and not leave it in the Mountains of Ararat to rot - but that's just me.

As for petrification, that can happen in a matter of a few years. There are instances where women have unknowingly carried unborn babies for decades which, once found, were in a petrified form.

This also has happened with several burials which were 'dug-up' after a few years, the bodies therin found to be petrified due to running water.

Who knows, we'll see I guess.

So here I am, slouching in my chair - proper posture is boring - and listening to a podcast of threading, which is actually pretty enjoyable. I'm wondering what other podcasts are out there that I don't know about.

What do you subscribe to and listen to regularly?

I like where the mouse has come after all these years. It's about time they start getting some new keyboards out there to compliment the 30-button double-swivel highjacked glossy layzer mice that we all have sitting on our desktops

I expect to be able to write 100 lines of C# with my mouse by the year 2010 Tongue-in-cheek.

Darn, I actually clicked that one

If I'm not mistaken, you cannot create 'snippets' from the IDE, can you? This would be an excellent feature to any further releases of VS.

Probably not a ground-breaking contribution, but hey, I think it would be nice!

Yeh, I actually went and watched The Lakehouse with my wife yesterday and I gotta say, It got me more excited than tokyo's drifts...

OR, you could merely do what so many other designers out there do, and give the impression of a 100% tall column by using a background image on a parent element repeating forever down the y-axis. Then position your "column" content over the established area, and enjoy.
