You may remember sometime back, there was an announcement that Noah Ark had been found by the Noah’s Ark Ministries International (NAMI). The status of that find is now in question, as two Turkish brothers posted a letter admitting that they had constructed a false ark for NAMI. NAMI is claiming that the letter is a hoax … and around and around we go.
But if you think this is the low point for the perennial hunt for the ark, you’d be wrong. A new contender has just throw her hat in the ring. From AOL News:
Former “Baywatch” star Donna D’Errico has enjoyed a pretty amazing career arc.
But the 42-year-old actress, who recently turned down a spot on “Dancing With the Stars,” is now focusing on Noah’s ark.
D’Errico, 42, is in training to fulfill a lifelong dream of climbing Mount Ararat in Turkey to search for the frozen remains of Noah’s ark.
Actually, I don’t want to make fun of D’Errico. The article makes clear that she’s had a serious run-in with MRSA that probably gave her intimations of mortality, and now she’s trying to fulfill a childhood dream. Here’s to her, and I hope she enjoys the climb and the lovely – ark-free – scenery.
But paragraphs like this …
If D’Errico is the person who finally locates the ark, it will probably be more remembered than even her marriage to Motley Crue bassist Nikki Sixx or her photo spread in the September 1995 issue of “Playboy.”
… yeah.
Finding Noah’s Ark is old hat. I mean, it’s been done so many times before, you’d think Ms. D’Errico could come up with something more original. But climbing Mt. Ararat is good, healthy, aerobic exercise so it’s not completely pointless.
Wouldn’t it be great–an ex-Playboy centerfold model finding the Ark? I’m trying to imagine the pastor behind his pulpit, giddy with the excitement of having had his belief confirmed, trying to figure out how to spin this thing to his congregation.
Delicious irony, but do we really want anything else for the creatards to crow about?
I’m not too worried, frankly. Any chunks of wood she comes back with won’t be from the Ark.
Well, if she actually find the ark it will constitute the evidence for the truth of the buybull that we were asking for all these years so we will just have to eat some craw and admit they were right all along. I’m not too worried about that actually happening. But seriously, what do they give them during these playboy photoshoots that make them hit the crazy so hard (yes, I’m talking to you Jenny McCarthy)
Seeing that playboy models rely on looks, the thinking bit is not all to bright so they would believe stupid fecal matter.
Attractive people can be intelligent. See Portman, Natalie. And even the smartest of people can make horrible, horrible mistakes. See Clones, Attack of the.
Will this be the dumbest thing she’s ever done?
She may find out whatever happened to her career.
