Could be a bit less, I guess, but there's no big-deal evolution-is-the-work-of-the-devil movement here that I am aware of...

That only occurs in islamic countries and America... ;)

:sighsm:
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

Ken Ham reference maybe?
"The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement but few can argue with it."

I would, but I can't stop on the motorway to do so.

Here is a picture I found of it online:

This could also be the 70 meter one, as this guy has built a smaller one first and is still working on the full size one.

I note he cheated. The barge was NOT part of the original specs. (Of course he could have wanted one that ACTUALLY FLOATED!)

Yes he cheated, he cheated on the small size one and he cheats on the full size one as well.

And I bet that wood isn't second hand. What a waste of trees. Hang on... Remind me what the biggest waste of trees is... That's right, the printing of the book that story came from.
