That is the smartest thing anyone has ever said. Noah’s ark casino. It boggles my mind of the possibilities.

Parting of the sea craps table
Animals on the slot machines. Llama llama lion. <sad trombone >

And etc

This is way better than my gluten-free water idea

Seems odd to me. What kind of crappy policy did they purchase?

I live in the South. We get insurance for things such as hurricanes, tropical storms, floods, wind damage and ice and snow storms. These are all "acts of God".

Insurance for property that doesn't include "acts of God", at least how they seem to define it, is mostly useless.

Most standard P&C policies will exclude all sorts of natural occurrences (earthquake, flood, tornado, hurricane, mudslide, etc.) from coverage. Those usually have to be added back via rider as they carry distinct risk and corresponding premium. Either their risk manager is bad or they didn't listen to advice.

I wonder what made them think that they didn't need additional protection from Acts of God. Maybe they had faith that God would protect them from his Acts and help to keep their expenses down.

I wonder if they're saying "He's not hurting the people He needs to be hurting!" :D

I don't think NV would give them the tax break they were looking for.

Wtf are you talking about?

And quit getting so butt hurt. If other people want to believe in fairy tales how does that affect you?

Uh, those very same people believed and still believe in the fairy tale that Donald Trump is a good man, possibly Jesus, a great businessman, and the greatest president ever. So they voted for him.

Yes: morons believing in ridiculous fair tales absolutely affects all of us, and very negatively. These people also want to erase science from education. From public schools. That effects everyone. It affects you through the people that you end up doing business with or depending on to do a thing properly, like a blood transfusion or whatever that you might need but they just "don't believe in germ theory" because it's satanic or some shit.

Yes, it affects you all the time.

Clearly they thought they were prepared for a flood. Which if I were them I'd counter the insurance companies with "This wasn't an act of God, the whole Earth didn't flood!"

Woah, that actually is pretty cool. I like how its like a cutaway instead of being as literal as possible. Although I think it would've been even cooler if they'd put the pool inside (but then maybe it'd seem too much like it was a wreck and sunk?).
