This is the kind of thing that makes me lose faith in humanity. The "thou shalt not lie" banner gave me a small glimmer of hope, but the last bit about 50% (!@##%$@#@#$?????) of people believing in this crock of shit, kinda killed it.

Dinosaurs. On a boat. with people. Might as well just call it the Barney T. Rubble memorial museum.

Do people seriously believe that all the species of animals IN THE ENTIRE WORLD lived within walking distance of Noah's house? If so, I have this amazing bridge I want to sell you.

In my Turkish class today we were doing exercises using a verb tense that signifies habits or general characteristic about people. It was going fairly well until we get to the last two exercises. In one we were supposed to fill in the blanks with the positive or negative form of verbs to make generalized statements about women and men. It went like this:
Women-
Gossip a lot.
Cry all the time.
Like to shop.
Don't know anything about cars.
Men-
Don't cry.
Like to fix things.
Enjoy soccer.
.... well you get the picture. This irked me a little. Then we get to the next exercise. We are given a country and something that everyone from that country likes and were expect to make a sentence about it.
We were given the following:
China/rice
Russia/vodka
Japan/sake
Italy/pizza
America/baseball
.....I think they forgot one: Turkey/stereotypes.
