Could you imaging building THAT? I'd be overwhelmed. Can't wait to ask them how they did it with rudimentary tools.

Noah's ark had 96,000 square feet of living space.

I wonder how many cubic feet it had? They had to store a lot!

This gave the ark approximately 40,000 cu m (1,400,000 cu ft) in gross volume.- Insight.

Pity I miss the gallery when I was in Victoria for 2 weeks. Had a disappointing evening at St. Kilda's jetty looking to sight penguins.

Pulled into the driveway today after work, put it in park, got out and told my near 14 year old grand girl "your turn, you get to drive in, turn around and park."

Her eyes got huge but she didn't complain. 

Understand this rig is a lifted F250, intimidating. Getting comfortable with the brake pedal was crucial. After a couple whiplashes she successfully parked the truck. 👍 Lesson one complete.

We had a discussion thread on this some tine ago. Sadly the size ratio is wrong (6:1). The basic shape (rectangular) is as close as you can get...

I wonder if we see a big decline in those getting baptized from year to year would that be a sign that we are very close

Brother Morris quoted this paragraph at an Annual Meeting a couple of years ago, it doesn't specifically mention baptisms but it talks about the preaching work in general. I like the paragraph after the one he quoted.

I remember that paragraph as well but what I meant was not that our preaching work would be  Declining but people interested in what we are preaching

I did calisthenics today. Or rather, Wednesday.

"THE LARGEST BOAB TREE IN CAPTIVITY" What did it take to captivate such a huge tree?

Did it put up a struggle? How about the one that got away?

It starts slow, usually with a few boxes of photos in the hall closet or shoe boxes in the bedroom closet, but as the cancer grows it spreads into the spare room, behind the couch, in the garage. The really bad cases will even take over a rented storeroom.....

Plastic cancer is worse. We have a malignant growth in the garage, plastic boxes, plastic bottles, plastic food trays, plastic pill bottles...

It's starting to grow into my workshop and merge with the benign gadget cancer...

[Lee49]

We have a drawer full of these, given out free with most carry out food orders!
