My Anthropology professor was just talking about that today. He just came back from Australia and saw a platypus, which resembled a rat, swimming in the river. He also ran over a koala (but didn't kill it) and got spectacular pictures of it hyperventilating on a small tree.

Sweet Black Jesus! He drove over a Koala? Nothing helps an ecosystem quite like lousy American tourists.

This is pandemic; terrifyingly, paralyzingly pandemic. They know absolutely nothing." - Harlan Ellison, on the Media Consumer of today.
Hang on. Omega's going by the date's and time's in the bible being accurate, right? Sooo...

Does anyone else see a teensy problem with Noah being 600 years old?

I always liked that bit on The Simpsons where Flanders is praying and says "I've done everything the bible tells me to. Even the parts that contradict the other parts."
Or something like that. Also, the one where Rev. Lovejoy holds up a bible and says "Have you ever actually read this thing? Technically, we can't even go to the bathroom..."
And there was a recent one where Homer became smart and proved that there's no god. He showed his proof to Flanders who looked it over, determined that it was right, and immediately burned it.
Actually, I can imagine Omega doing that last one...

Actually, Liam, what the Bible omits is that Noah carried a sword and lost his head a few years after the Ark
