:::::::By the way, I wouldn't really characterise Noah as being a "victim" of the flood, and it ''is'' often referred to as "Noah's Flood", even though, as you indicate, it wasn't Noah that caused it.  [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 21:53, 1 June 2007 (EDT)

::::::::Thanks. Treating the subject fairly around here probably means I'm a liberal. See [[Talk:Main Page#Hi]] where I've said school chaplains are more important than making the kids recite the Lord's Prayer at school. FWIW I wouldn't normally say Noah was a "victim" either, but I wanted to turn the sentence around to focus the other way. Noah could have lived out his retirement much more comfortably without the flood, so he ''was'' a victim in some sense. He just turned out to have played a fairly important part in world history because of it. <small>To anyone else reading this later, the "victim" comment was in an edit summary for the article.</small> --[[User:Scott|Scott]] 04:11, 2 June 2007 (EDT)
