Hmmm.. that's not a floating zoo. It is a floating event hall with a theme...

It leads to more myth and fairy tailes...

I would not classify those as "documents". (i.e reporting verifiable facts)
GK> I think it's quite likely that all this didn't come out of thin air.
The old testament of the Bible has significant overlap with the Tora. So possibly there is a common source. The Koran was written many centuries after the Bible, so the Bible was probably the source of that part of the Koran. The others: I don't know.
GK> Something like that probably did happen a long time ago,
There are geological and paleological traces indicating a comet or small asteroid hit the earth 65 million yearts ago. There are traces pointing to ice periods.. All kind of traces can be found. But TTBMOK there are no traces pointing to a flood on a planetary scale. There may have been a flood on a much smaller scale. Even several perhaps. But a ship with a complete collection of all species, animal and plants? Hmmm...
GK> but the long temporal distance distorted the reports.
Whatever. We are drifing (sic!) a long way from the issue of running servers on a mobile platform.
GK>>> With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.
MvdV>> Flying is one thing. Landing is the hard part...
GK> Oh, they always come down...
"A good landing is one when you can stand up and walk away". Most of those "pig landings" do not qualify...
