Noah's Ark found? Not so fast
Posted: Tuesday, April 27, 2010 4:00 PM by Alan Boyle
Web sites are buzzing over claims that remains from Noah’s Ark may have been found on Turkey’s Mount Ararat. The finders, led by an evangelical group, say they are "99.9 percent" that a wooden structure found on the mountainside was part of a ship that housed the Biblical Noah, his family and a menagerie of creatures during a giant flood 4,800 years ago.
But researchers who have spent decades studying the region – and fending off past claims of ark discoveries – caution that a boatload of skepticism is in order.
"You have to take everything out of context except the Bible to get something tolerable, and they're not even working much with the Bible," said Paul Zimansky, an archaeologist and historian at Stony Brook University who specializes in the Near East - and especially the region around Ararat, known as Urartu.
Cornell archaeologist Peter Ian Kuniholm, who has focused on Turkey for decades, was even more direct - saying that the reported find is a "crock".
"Generosity. That was my first mistake."

Just for fun: Ok, this is the grandson of a very famous actor. It turns out he is in one of my favorite TV shows. I can see a little likeness to his grandfather. Anyone care to take a guess(no cheating- I know you can right click and get the name from properties but try to refrain)  Hints: His grandfather, now deceased for many years, was in an old tv western in the 50's; acted with such greats as, Natalie Wood, Charles Bronson, Karl Malden, Faye Dunaway; he was "into" motorcycles and if I'm not mistaken, in one of his most famous movies, did most of his own stunts. To top it all off, he was quite a sex symbol to many ladies. TIS

Well, Mig guessed it. Steve McQueen's the actor. Oh, and another tidbit, the car chase scene in Bullit was either the longest or one of the longest chase scenes at that time. Bam, it's been rumored for a long time the Dean was gay. I really don't know if it's a proven fact or not. Anyway, he too was one of my favorites, even if he only made 3 films.  TIS

Being the big sports nut that I am, you just know I'm following these things. 
I can almost see a resemblance though.
