Does the name of this trap offend you atheists?

Noah's Ark is part of folklore, no problem. But where did they get the name for this trap anyway? I don't see an Ark there.

YES it offends me!
I don't like naming openings after priests.
Why should the Catholic Church get naming rights?

Hell yes it offends me.

It's the Ruy Lopez. It's been around hundreds of years. People should know how to play it without losing a piece in the opening. 😠

Ah, you must be referring to the 'boat' built up in the hills a couple thousand years ago to corroborate the Noah fairy tale.

It is old, yes. Ark, no. I bet they even charged admission back in the day to see the fake Ark.

"step right up folks, see the Ark, look at all the dinosaur poop on the floor, see the fur from the lions that were there, (don't bother me kid, get lost),
Yes there they were, water covering the Earth, everyone laughing, but they had the last laugh! Yes folks step right up, only 2 shekels for an hour tour'.
