The St. Lawrence River is good for walleye, some trout and bass, and a lot of pike and some sturgeon. You kind of have to be picky about where you fish. For one, stay out of the shipping lanes as much as possible. Talking to the locals can help. Also, be careful you do not drift over the border. You do not want the Coast Guard or police asking you questions.

I remember getting grounded on a shoal on our boat in that river as a kid. That killed a vacation more or less.

Mom dragged me to this Noah's Ark thing in Hong Kong

I didn't even know Hong Kong sent a team and actually found something until now

It's a theme park of some sort that's supposed to be really high tech (read: lots of stuff blowing at you while watching a 3D movie)

It was built after a team of scientists from HK and Turkey found a piece of petrified wood on the mountain that's supposed to be where the ark in the bible ended up

I have pictures but I don't feel like uploading them...yet

I didn't take any pictures of the theatres because they were boring

They were mostly 3D movies with shaking ground and smoke flying everywhere so they could slap a 4D label

And a 180 (read: 90) degree screen with more smoke and shaking ground

Wait if the three dimensions are Dot, Line, Cube for 1d,2d,3d respectively, what the hell is 4d? Time?

Blowing smoke at you and shaking the chair you're on obviously

It's probably easier (and safer) to shake the chair you're sitting on

I know that. Back in China, they put things such as a air machine to let out wind and blow your face. Or a bit of water to make you feel plunging in an ocean.

4D. Yeah.

A Christian group is also gathering that funds to build a "replica" of Noah's Ark in Kentucky, complete with the Tower of Babel. I put "replica" in quotes because I can almost guarantee that they are going to get some things absolutely wrong. I do not say that out of arrogance, but I just kind of know that the scholarship that goes into these things is generally either minimalistic or very slanted towards someone's theological views. As for the whole Tower of Babel thing...Do I even want to be in the same country when they erect that thing...? Seriously, what makes these people think that if the original was destroyed that the "replica" will be okay to erect, even if nobody does any kind of worship there?

It's become more of a money thing than a religious symbol

I realize that, but then again, money is the religion of many.
