0:00.0	Hey, Isabella, did you see that based on data from surveys conducted by the Barna Research Group,
0:07.9	12% of Americans think that Noah of Arc fame was married to Joan of Arc.
0:17.7	Not everyone is up on their Bible lore, you know? Yeah. Okay. Look at you trying to find that silver lining. I'm like, well, they could, I could see how it would happen.

Noah, according to the book, lived to be like 250 or something like that.
