Dude finishes building his FULL SCALE NOAH’S ARK. Extravagant survivalism.
Shit, man. If I was a millionaire, I wouldn’t be building arks. I would be…Well, I’d probably still be blogging and just worrying a lot less about the bills. Buying my friends like so many bags of Gummi Bears. Dutch millionaire Johann Huibers doesn’t share my swagger. Dude is building his own Noah’s Ark.
I Heart Chaos:
After having a dream that Holland flooded due to global warming, Dutch millionaire Johann Huibers started work on a full scale Noah’s ark, complete to biblical specifications. And now that he’s done, the craft is seaworthy, but it certainly doesn’t look big enough to fit 2 of every land animal.
The ark described in the Book of Genesis measured to 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. A cubit is supposed to be the distance of a man’s arm from the elbow to the fingertips, so Huibers used his own arm and his ark came to be around 450 feet long, according to Sky News. This wooden recreation, four years in the making, is the second one he’s built. In 2004, he built a half-scale version that he sailed around his native country’s canals, ChannelsTV.com reported.
