red sox 777 01/14/12 3:44:00 PM #102:	don't you find it strange that so many people started looking at it that way though? Not really, once they were collected together and published in a single volume, it's natural, even though it's wrong, that people would take the whole canon to be one book. Or that so many people decided that that exact bundle of texts is the 'right' way of studying religion? If any religious texts are true, then logically there must exist some set of religious texts that constitutes all true and materially relevant religious texts. So, no, it's not strange. Especially considering some texts are even believed to be polytheistic in origin? I and others would disagree about that. -- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:665749] in Plot hole ...

foolm0ron 01/14/12 9:38:00 PM #116:	From: Sakurafanboy \| #075 what I wanna know is, with the weight of all those fat ass animas (hippos, elephants, etc.) how did it not SINK? >_> The ark was REALLY big, right? Most people don't realize that the deeper water is, the more dense it is. So water displaced at the surface can hold up a lot of stuff, but deeper water can hold up even more stuff for each unit of volume. So the ark just had a really deep hull. -- _foolmo_ 'Most people at least try to say something funny.
