It wasn’t raining when Noah built the ark
Article by John O’Dea in Times of Malta of 15/03/2012
At the risk of sounding irreverent and profane, without a shadow of a doubt Noah wrote the first textbook about risk management. Admittedly he had good connections and prior warning, but despite the fact that there was not a cloud in the sky and www.weather.com forecast good weather he followed professional advice, took heed of Murphy’s Law, did a risk assessment and built the ark, thus ensuring the continuity of the species.
