Yeah, that's what I'm worried about. But there's a space away from the trees, near a creek, that would probably be ok.

And just don't throw everything flammable you can find in there, and you should be OK. Seriously, it was like cardboard boxes from a large furniture delivery or something. I dunno.

I don't want to sound alarmist, but it has been raining steadily and hard for two days here in Eastern Iowa. Sorta like last year when there was a big flood. I'm watching the ironically named Dry Creek slowly consume the woods behind my sisters house.

Does anyone know how to build an ark? I just want to be ready, in case.

We are a group of dedicated animal lovers, and atheists. Each Eternal Earth-Bound Pet representative is a confirmed atheist, and as such will still be here on Earth after you've received your reward. Our network of animal activists are committed to step in when you step up to Jesus.

We are currently active in 20 states and growing. Our representatives have been screened to ensure that they are atheists, animal lovers, are moral / ethical with no criminal background, have the ability and desire to rescue your pet and the means to retrieve them and ensure their care for your pet's natural life.

Our service is plain and simple; our fee structure is reasonable. For $110.00 we will guarantee that should the Rapture occur within ten (10) years of receipt of payment, one pet per residence will be saved. Each additional pet at your residence will be saved for an additional $15.00 fee. A small price to pay for your peace of mind and the health and safety of your four legged friends.

Does anyone know how to build an ark?

There's this book that will give you the dimensions, but it's a little vague on the actual construction details.

By the way, a cubit is 2.1872266 meters.

Thanks, Vortex!

Yes, Jesse, that makes sense, thanks. I watched some neighbors attempt to burn several years of financial documents on their hibachi once, and it was kind of scary. Sure, their identity's safe, but they wouldn't care if their home was a smoking ruin.

When playing Cubit, don't jump on a square with a snake.

Thanks, all. This is very helpful information.

While we're on the subject, what's the best way to get cats in a boat? My sister-in-law would never forgive me if I let them drown.
