Man building full-scale Noah's ark - GoFuckYourself.com

Max Potential · 06-23-2011, 09:45 AM

After a nightmare, Johan Huibers constructs a ship four stories tall and as long as a football field.

An hour outside of Amsterdam in Dordrecht, Netherlands, a ship is under construction. But this ain't your typical sailboat, bub. Johan Huibers is building a full-scale replica of Noah's ark.

Yes, that Noah's ark. And Johan, an expert builder, isn't skimping on the details. The ship, which he's been constructing for the past three years, is built to biblical specs. Johan culled information on the ark's size and shape directly from the good book. In the end, the ship is four stories high and the length of a football field. And yes, it's seaworthy.

The result is an incredibly impressive ship, especially considering it was realized simply by a man with a dream--or, perhaps, a nightmare. According to an interview with NBC's "The Today Show," Johan dreamt that Holland suffered a great flood. The next morning, he woke up determined to start preparing for that worst-case scenario.

The ship, which is not to be confused with the theme park in Kentucky that also honors Noah's ark, is generating a lot of interest in the search box. Over the past 24 hours, online lookups for "noah's ark photos" and "noah's ark real ship" have surged.

As for the craft proper, it's not complete yet, but it's getting close. The master plan is to sail the ship up the Thames in time for the London Olympics next year. Expect to see plenty of life-size plastic animals aboard (two of each type, of course).

There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

I've always been quite fond of the Dutch, legal weed and prostitution

Plus those water taxis sure are fun to float around in over there in Amsterdam!

And anyone with common sense can tell that that ark is smaller than even the smallest zoo and therfore it would be IMPOSSIBLE for Noah to have had 2 of each animal on there since even the largest zoo can't have 2 of each animal.

Sly · 06-23-2011, 11:44 AM

Noah's Ark is in Wisconsin. Is there another one in Kentucky?

Because he is building it using the specs from the Bible?

bloggerz · 06-23-2011, 11:49 AM

whatever floats your boat

gmr324 · 06-23-2011, 03:04 PM

that must have been one hellish nightmare he had

Zuzana Designs · 06-23-2011, 03:08 PM

That thing is massive. I'm in Tennessee right now and we may need an ark pretty soon to get out of here. It has been raining every day since I got here. I feel like I'm in Seattle.

vsex · 06-23-2011, 03:13 PM

wonder if he bothered to install any power and steering capabilities. I don't remember those specs in the bible.........

Indeed.

Ask anyone around the world who's lived through a devastating flood if they would have liked to have an ark at the time.

I love that you're so impossibly stupid that you not only stopped your day to reason your way through this little puzzle, but then also decided to announce your conclusion to the community.

I've never had a 'nightmare', or I have but I just considered it just another dream.. I guess I need to wake up gasping for air one night sweating after someone broke in my house, turned the heat to the max, waited an hour or so, and then tried suffocating me with a pillow, in order to have a nightmare.

Oh yeah the ark is cool.
