Well, this has floated nicely already, with mostly good humoured comments. There's been a few queries/ponderings so see what I can contribute.... Cubits , apparently in antiquity there was the common and the royal cubit. AIG have opted for the latter which is larger. They have also opted to make it look more like a ship, whereas most creationists have gone for a long box model. In fact I wrote a song called great big box, which usually goes down well ( er...reverse pun..) at singaround.
