    The Woodpecker may have to go !

    • Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah's Ark
      • One: Don't miss the boat.
      • Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat.
      • Three: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
      • Four: Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
      • Five: Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
      • Six: Build your future on high ground.
      • Seven: For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
      • Eight: Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
      • Nine: When you're stressed, float a while.
      • Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
      • Eleven: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting...
