The left will probably protest that this is an anti-homosexual museum.

GGG Ping.

And welcome back from whatever mysterious place you were!

Hey, is Lot's wife found yet? She's part of the geological fact if she can be located given that the winds of time have scattered her DNA everywhere.

Covering 2,150sq.m., Lot's Museum will include an exhibition hall, cafeteria, service facilities, bus and car parks, as well as a tourist police office.

Stay away from the Pillar o' Salt Falafel. Bad for the blood pressure.

Isn't the cave where his daughters got him drunk and had sex with him?

Or am I mixing up my stories?

[Mad Mammoth]

I'm looking forward to the day when a similar museum might be constructed on the outskirts of the smoldering crater formerly known as San Francrisco.

[RightWhale]

They still have the pillar of salt?

[SERKIT]

The Bill Clinton Lie-brary and Massage Parlor should be mentioned here, at least for the Sodom reference.

While visiting Lot's Museum, be sure to stop for food, fun and the area's best wine selection at the the "Two Daughters' Pub," located just 300 meters from the tourist police office.

I wonder if all the blue-haired ladies from Peoria will be reminded of this part of the story when they visit Lot's cave.

"Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. One day the older daughter said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. Let's get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father." That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. The next day the older daughter said to the younger, "Last night I lay with my father. Let's get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father." So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. So both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father. The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab; he is the father of the Moabites of today. The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the Ammonites of today." (Genesis 19:30-38)

Thanks Waggs. I wonder where the thing is located. The fort of Bela / Zoar overlooked the north basin (the deep one, and the only one with water in it nowadays) of the Dead Sea (at that time, the Valley of Siddim), and was the place to which Lot ran to avoid destruction, after pleading to the Lord to spare that place. Let's face it, Lot took the easy way out wherever possible. In the case of Zoar, he simply didn't want to be on the road all day and night.

Will the gift shop sell salt sculptures?

“Lot's Museum,” being built some 300 metres from the cave where Lot and his family sought refuge from the devastation of Sodom and Gomorrah, is set to showcase the area's dazzling topography and unique geological facets.

Check out the ammonite design of the museum.

[mercy]

Oh yeah, I can't wait to tour again in an Arab country. I'm sure Zarqawi's buds wouldn't bother us little Chritians when we go to the museum.

[Drumbo]

"tourist police" ... shudder.

[ASA Vet]

Sodomy has different definitions from State to State.
But what the heck is Gomorrahy?

[Jackknife]

Gomorrah (Jerry Garcia Band)

Just a song of Gomorrah, I wonder what they did there Must've been a bad thing to get shot down for I wonder how they blew it up or if they burned it down Get out, get out Mr. Lot and don't you turn around.

Who gave you your orders, someone from the sky I heard a voice inside my head in the desert wind so dry I heard a voice tellin' me to flee the very same voice I always believe Say alot of trouble comin', but it don't have to come to you I'm telling you so you can tell the rest what you've been through.

But don't you turn around, no, don't look after you It's not your business how it's done, you're lucky to get through You're a good upstanding man, a credit to the flock But if you don't face straight ahead you could not take the shock Blew the city off the map, left nothing there but fire The wife of Lot got turned to salt, because she looked behind her.
