I don't usually buy into theories that try to prove biblical veracity in material terms, at least not when we're talking about Genesis, but this story is based on responsible science, and keeps getting more interesting. I still think that floods are a pan-human experience, but a big enough one might go down in (pre)history. Then again, maybe Noah was Chinese.
Now this is pretty funny. Democrats are accusing the Bush campaign of using subliminal messages in their advertising. Seems unlikely to me, but the demographic that believes in such things should not be underestimated. After half a century of semiologists teaching us to read the deep structures in undisguised messages, you'd think we'd know better, but some folks would rather smell a rat than see one.
