I thought about that but felt the use of the word "idiot" was a bit strong. It's hard to tell when you can't see if they're smiling.

Regarding Noah's Ark, this stuff has always been intriguing but I see less in these photos than in some others of the same area I remember seeing before. The Turks have always been very touchy about letting anyone go near this place, usually with the reason that the area had Kurdish guerrilla activity. The other possibility is that they want nothing found which might confirm a story from the (Jewish and Christian) Bible. If they would relent and allow a real expedition this "mystery" would probably end up being another "Al Capone's Secret Vault".

Hmmmm, maybe we should send Geraldo!

This is the last line in my post:

Strange indeed. ;-)
