It’s building an Ark! An Ark! An Ark!

(Sing with me!) The Lord said to Kentucky, you’re gonna build an Arky Arky…

Never mind. Anyway… yes, it’s true. According to the governor of Kentucky, plans are set for the Commonwealth to build an Ark! The press release went out today…

Governor Steve Beshear today joined the Ark Encounter LLC to announce the planned construction of a full-scale Noah’s Ark tourist attraction in northern Kentucky. Partnering with the Ark Encounter is Answers in Genesis, which is most widely known for its high-tech and popular Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky.

“We are excited to join with the Ark Encounter group as it seeks to provide this unique, family-friendly tourist attraction to the Commonwealth,” said Gov. Beshear. “Bringing new jobs to Kentucky is my top priority, and with the estimated 900 jobs this project will create, I am happy about the economic impact this project will have on the Northern Kentucky region.”

Aw… thank you Kentucky.

America needs an Ark (Ark Encounter). Just last May, Tennessee had a really bad flood and an Ark would have come in handy.

And wow; it’s only going to cost $150 million. Though Noah probably built it for much less, $150 million is a small price to pay for helping our kids believe that the Great Flood actually happened!

THIS JUST IN! Kentucky has no poor people.

But that’s not all… the Ark Encounter will also include…

In addition to the full-size Ark, the complex will include a Walled City much like was found in ancient times, live animal shows, a children’s interactive play area, a replica of the Tower of Babel with exhibits, a 500-seat 5-D special effects theater, an aviary, and a first-century Middle Eastern village.

5-D? Is that for the five sense?

A children’s interactive play area?

Awesome. Do children get circumcised here? Mistreated if they’re females? Killed if they backtalk their parents?

Uh… Would you spend $150 million on a fake Ark?
