But have they found the Ark? Anybody want to make book on it?

One of those documents is a 1995 memo from an agent who had a conversation with John Hanford, who was then a member of Sen. Richard Lugar's, R-Ind., staff. Hanford spoke of a White House meeting under the George H.W. Bush administration in which Robert Gates, then national security director, showed off a satellite photo of the Mount Ararat area.

Hope springs eternal, the Ark even longer.

Man, I've seen that picture before. Sometime back, that picture was shown, plus another of a different angle. The different angle was obviously a rock formation. I wish that I could remember. I seem to remember PBS or the Skeptical Enquirer. Damn, I hate this. Anybody out there do regression therapy. I've, also, got a few other axes to grind that I never knew I had. I think.

Hasn't the Ark been found about two dozen times now? You'd think when a thing is found, it would stay found.

Since this folder is called 'Your tax dollars at work!' might I recommend voting Libertarian so you won't have to pay so many dollars in the 1st place.
Damn the idiots WE elect, ruining everyones lives, bleeding us dry while they spend, spend, spend, on who knows what besides raises for themselves? Damn the idiots who vote for those idiots.
And while I'm at it, P. Bush is a moron.

I remember seeing this too, quite a while ago, on The Learning Channel or something like that. They explained that other angles clearly show that it is just an anomolous rock formation that kinda looks like it might be an ark from a certain angle.

Boy, this kind of thing makes me glad I'm a Canadian. We Canadians don't have a CIA to waste taxpayers money taking pictures of the side of a cliff in their spare time. I feel sorry for you Americans out there.

I wonder if they will ever figure out that the lumber used to make Noah's Ark will have probably long since biodegraded. No wait, then the religious will simply say that God wouldn't allow that. *sigh* Some people just need to grow up.
