Noah was quite dark from the sun, when he loaded his animals on.

He was known as an Ark Tan Gent.

Noah was feeling unstable,
His snakes to bear young were unable.
He constructed a bed
Out of tree trunks and said,
"Even adders can multiply on a log table!"

(author forgotten, but from long-ago
Omni magazine limerick contest)

Obviously, we have a bunch of ark-eologists here.

Most people don't know it, but Adam and Eve's son
was with Noah during the flood.

What you *didn't* know that?
Well, it's an ark-Cain piece of trivia.

I agree. You ark to be aShemed of yourself. Boat of you.
But perhaps we should keep this one afloat if only people will
flood it with pairs of puns. I think 40 Days ( Bob Day, Jim Day etc.
and 40 Knights (Sir gladhand, Sir Laughsalot etc) would be overloathing
a bit. Noah matter, I like it.

You certainly have a lot of puns in that scull of yours, oar someone is
steering some over to you. If that is the case you water be ashamed
of yourself. Some of them them I sea I can't fathem though. Noah way!
Was Noah a vegitarian? All he took was pears! He Phyl'd up the

Well, it'd be easy to find space for a couple of armadillos, but how Japhet two
elephants, two Rhinos and two Hippos into a boat that small? And what do you to feed
them, milk, butter and Jesus?

'Course not. By the time he left the Ark, he had thousands of
rabbits.
Noah knew the proverb: "Look before you lepus."
With snakes it was another matter. After the flood, Noah opened
the Ark doors, and the animals scampered out into the world. Except for
two snakes, which he found curled up in a corner.

Chop down a couple of trees, and make them into picnic-table
formation, then give them to the adders. Even adders can multiply
with log tables!

I know, that was adderly awful. What a snake in the grass. Fang you
for your applause. It's time for me to spit.

Did you hear about the poor snake? He didn't even have a pit

Doris something missing from your list of Days. Maybe you were

40 Days might weigh too much. You'd better use Day-Lights...

.. And Knight-Lights.

It would be a disaster if anyone fell overboard from the Ark.
So, if you're gonna have knights, be sure to include
Sir Chand Rescue.

. And Sir Up. he's sweet.
But not the drunkard, Sir Osis.
Or that sex maniac, Sir Loin.

Well, a pair of birds made a nest in a bra that was hanging on Noah's
wife's line. You would not believe the coincidence ...

Was that supposed to be bunny?

Anyway, when Noah sent out the first bird, he must have been raven mad.
But everything dovetailed eventually.

If Noah had bunnies on the Ark, would that make it
a "rabbit-transit system"?

Actually, Noah hadn't planned to take the rabbits at all;
He had them on hand because he was supposed to give them
in payment to one of his workmen. He was quite distraught
when the flood came before he could pay the debt.

It was a hare-owing experience!

When the dove came back with a branch, Noah said, "I guess olive
through it."

If Noah had built the ark out of metal instead of wood, what special tool
would he have used?

An arc welder.

But still doubtful, Noah sent out a rodent, and when it survived, he
said, "I guess we all can breathe, if this is Ararat can breathe."

I've heard that the word "gopher" refers not to a species of wood but to
a way of treating the wood. Is it therefore a term of ark?
