There are several theories about the near universal flood myth. Some speculate it was a catastrophic flooding that created the Black Sea, others the impact of the last ice ages end and the mesopotamian account of a family cast adrift that inspired the story of Noah. I personally believe the wooden structure on Mount Ararat is an ancient ETS member gone berserk with a bronze version of the big knife advocates. Our 'news' services have largely moved on to the next car chase, celebrity scandal and world record asparagus. On the more ancient and time honored level though; The Tsunami, Katrina, the earthquake in Pakistan have changed many individual's outlook and those of their decendants.
