A Perfect Metaphor For the Search For Noah’s Ark

The actress Donna D’Errico has been searching for Noah’s Ark from the Bible. Apparently she has no friends because none of them stopped her by patiently explaining that the story is a myth and there really wasn’t a worldwide flood. To her credit, she’s actually been looking for it personally and not just coordinating the search of a team of outdoorsy types who snicker at her behind her back because she recently fell off a mountain during her search.

I don’t feel too bad making fun of her for this because she’s OK. A few scrapes and bruises. Not even a broken bone. So this won’t stop her. She knows the Ark is out there, somewhere. And she’ll swim through the deepest ocean and climb the tallest mountain to find it. And then she will fall down that mountain. She will fall down all of the mountains if she has to.

The former Battlebots host hiking on Mount Arat in Turkey when she was injured. Rumor’s of the Ark being located somewhere near there go back to at least as far as the 13th century, and still nobody’s found it.
