God $2 Million Over Budget on Creation Museum
By Elisa Ivy | Dealer staff writer    Tue, Oct 31, 2006
 

grammar-god N. KENTUCKY - The Creation Museum, brainchild of Reverend Ken Ham (with help from God), is $2 milion over its initially projected budget.

We caught up with a worried looking God outside his home in Cheviot.

"I should have planned better," said God. "The Dragon Hall Bookstore alone cost over $500,000." 

Other items sending the Museum over budget included the Chaos Cafe, with 5 deep fat fryers and a slurpee machine, and the hyper-realistic dragon heads, designed to scare the incarnate devil out of children.

God is hopeful that the advent of hundreds of thousands of visitors will offset these additional costs. The museum, about 30 miles from Cincinnati, may prove to be a popular destination for many who are convinced that man, dinosaurs, and twinkling pixies were all carried to safety aboard a 200-foot ark.  

"Americans just aren't gullible enough to believe that they came from a fish," said John Morris, President of the Institute for Creation Research.  

God and the Reverend Ham just hope that Cincinnatians are gullible enough to believe they came from a hypothetical supreme being made entirely out of marshmallow.
