Unicorns on the ark?

Well, let's face it, the invisible pink unicorn was probably inhabiting that part of the world not inundated by the breaching of the Strait of Gibraltar.

So, Noah left the unicorns behind but brought along the termites? Good call, Noah!

So that's why the Triceratops and Styracosaurus are extinct...

>4 Marissa_Doyle: And the rhinoceros isn't. The elephants weren't any problem either. Yeah, it's all making sense now.

Gary Larson's explanation is as good as any. This has always been one of my favorite of his cartoons.

>5 spartan: The termites were only to feed the ant-eaters.

So that's why we don't have termites? Wait, I'm getting confused.

>6 Taphophile13: You have to admit that triceratopses are pointier than rhinos, though.

>9 Marissa_Doyle: Touché.

>10 Taphophile13: I saw what you did there...

I just read the creepiest ever story about unicorns (Equoid), and on its basis I would only hope that they'd be left out of any efforts at biodiversity preservation.

Personally, I would look at Noah's daughters. Imagine the embarrasment if the unicorn insisted on avoiding the unmarried daughter! Or probably just as bad, lay his head in the lap of the married one. Either young woman would want to get rid of him.

>15 MarthaJeanne: Good point. On the other hand, none of them would have to worry about ingesting any toxic substances by mistake.

*groan* Molly darling, stand still while I throw this shoe at you...

>4 Marissa_Doyle:

I'm afraid you're wrong.

The dinosaurs must have been aboard. Otherwise. . .?

Oh my. Now I want to change the palm trees to Christmas trees and sent it out as a holiday greeting card.

Just string lights.

I lived in Miami the past 35 years. Everybody does.

Of course, if you send the card that means you have to put plastic dinosaurs around the plastic Baby Jesus in your creche scene.

>22 Limelite: And little plastic unicorns, too, of course.

>23 Marissa_Doyle: Well, you might not want to introduce any mythological overtones. Just sayin'.

>24 Limelite: Ah, but read this: http://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/12336/the-unicorn-as-a-christolo...

>26 Molly-the-Cat: If you sit on a pointy little plastic unicorn, you'd probably be better off with window putty than with plasters...just saying.

>20 Limelite: . . . which inevitably reminds me of this:

I liked the book for the same reason that a lot of people (though maybe not many people on this thread) would hate it.

>25 spartan: I'll have you know that picture was executed by me in my Second Coming Life Class just last week! From real models. Of themselves as themselves. No lie. A word in your ear: It's not nice to draw attention to Mr. Jesus' Walmart footwear.

>27 Marissa_Doyle:

Christianity Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for committed Christians, experts in Christianity and those interested in learning more.

"Committed" I understand. It's "expert" I can't comprehend. As far as all that kinky sex business about unicorns, Mr. Jesus, and Miss Mary, Noah is the only expert whose opinion I'll commit to.

>28 Meredy: I'd like to read that, but it looks like hard history stuff. I was never good at history in school. Does that come in an "Idiot America for Dummies" edition? Yeah, I noticed one reviewer of the book here on LT had this to say, in part, "Facts are a matter of opinion. . ." Uh, is that the author's comment?

>30 spartan: Lotsa trouble with proportion. Nearly caused a religious war. The "One True God" folks wanted to behead me.

>31 Molly-the-Cat: GAK! Crucified?!? My 9 year-old grandson's showing next Sat. at the Olympic Horse park outside Atlanta (his first), helmeted. But I'll be sure to keep him away from the Euphorbia milii, just in case.

>31 Molly-the-Cat: That was a lovely low-key delivery of a punch line. My compliments.

I am perceiving interesting parallels between the Ark and the Trojan Horse...

When I was a child asking reasonable questions, my father told me that the dinosaurs were too big to fit in the boat and the unicorns arrived too late.

>35 Molly-the-Cat: Dear cat, does your person know that you are shameless?

>42 TotalBookcase: Like the fish, the aquatic dinosaurs didn't need a spot on the ark; they were in their element. Later some of them came ashore and found shelter in caves.

I do believe they can swim. Europe must once have been lousy with dragons because they have statues of them all over the place.

>45 spartan: in some of the older paintings the virgins look more scary than the dragons.
Obviously they were the virgin dragons.

Too bad Noah took a pair of Republicans on board. Look what he left us with.

Be glad to trade you. 😜

>50 Molly-the-Cat:
Wish Republicans were exportable. . .to the bottom of the sea. All I can do is offer you a gross. No VAT, as it's impossible to add value to a scuzzwort. Any chance of you sending me a peck of publicans? Come 2016, I'm gonna need all the drinks I can get.

>54 TotalBookcase:

Stop with the jokes. My abs hurt.

Now I have to go to the Temple of Ragu and get a massage from the holy appendages of the FSM.

"The complete short stories of Mark Twain" contains one work “About all kinds of ships”. The few pages therein dedicated to the ark are just wonderful and not to be missed.
