Website title:

I am getting sick and tired of hearing of Utnapishtim as the "Sumerian version of Noah"

I propose that we try to make an analogy as ridiculous as the one above, which is seen often.

"Utnapishtim is to Noah what Saddam Hussein is to George W. Bush"

No...that doesn't have a good ring to it.

How about this: Utnapishtim is to Noah, what The Beatles are Oasis.

Damn, damn, damn...this just isn't coming out right.

Do I have any takers, here? How about a contest to see who can come up with the best analogy to ridicule the ridiculous?

"Noah is to Utnapishtim what Andreas is to (inside)Assyria(dotcom)" ?

;-)
