I smell ararat
In a world torn asunder by religious fundamentalisms (see below), here's a timely idea for a summer vacation: go to Turkey with an archaeological team and attempt to
unearth Noah's Ark from the slopes of Mount Ararat.
The mission has been funded by a group of Christians who scientifically claim that the object buried in the snow is "98 percent sure" to be the boat. The "ark" first became visible to Turkish air force pilots in 1957, and has been visited by multiple teams of explorers since a Soviet ban on the area was lifted in 1982.
CNN points out that no one has been able to "substantiate any claims of an ark."
