20. I know the answer!
This is a man that lived in my neighborhood when I was a kid. He was always trying to get the young girls to take off their clothes. I wondered what happened to him. Looks like a sixties photo.

edit: Noah got drunk, but with his three sons:

Genesis 9.13-23

13I have set my bow in the clouds, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.? 17God said to Noah, ?This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.?
Noah and His Sons

18 The sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan. 19These three were the sons of Noah; and from these the whole earth was peopled.

20 Noah, a man of the soil, was the first to plant a vineyard. 21He drank some of the wine and became drunk, and he lay uncovered in his tent. 22And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. 23Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backwards and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father?s nakedness.

10. Lot after he escaped Sodom, not Noah.
Easy to mix up because they both got drunk and committed incest. Noah had 3 sons, though, Lot had 2 daughters. Wouldn't it be ironic if Lot was the one with 3 sons and they got him drunk after escaping Sodom?

13. Lot, of course! Dammit, I forgot his name.
Also, I think Noah's sons were married when they got on the boat, according to the story.

15. Yes!
Genesis 6.16-22

16Make a roof* for the ark, and finish it to a cubit above; and put the door of the ark in its side; make it with lower, second, and third decks. 17For my part, I am going to bring a flood of waters on the earth, to destroy from under heaven all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die. 18But I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall come into the ark, you, your sons, your wife, and YOUR SONS' WIVES with you. 19And of every living thing, of all flesh, you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female. 20Of the birds according to their kinds, and of the animals according to their kinds, of every creeping thing of the ground according to its kind, two of every kind shall come in to you, to keep them alive. 21Also take with you every kind of food that is eaten, and store it up; and it shall serve as food for you and for them.? 22Noah did this; he did all that God commanded him.

8. Ding! DING! Lot and his daughters! YES!
not Michael Savage

Here is the family values passage:
Genesis 19.25-35

25and he overthrew those cities, and all the Plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. 26But Lot?s wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

27 Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before the Lord; 28and he looked down towards Sodom and Gomorrah and towards all the land of the Plain, and saw the smoke of the land going up like the smoke of a furnace.

29 So it was that, when God destroyed the cities of the Plain, God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when he overthrew the cities in which Lot had settled.
The Shameful Origin of Moab and Ammon

30 Now Lot went up out of Zoar and settled in the hills with his two daughters, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar; so he lived in a cave with his two daughters. 31And the firstborn said to the younger, ?Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of all the world. 32Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, so that we may preserve offspring through our father.? 33So they made their father drink wine that night; and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; he did not know when she lay down or when she rose. 34On the next day, the firstborn said to the younger, ?Look, I lay last night with my father; let us make him drink wine tonight also; then you go in and lie with him, so that we may preserve offspring through our father.? 35So they made their father drink wine that night also; and the younger rose, and lay with him; and he did not know when she lay down or when she rose.

12. You are learned, though. You did not make the mistake of
mixing up Lot with Noah. You have a lot to be proud of... ;)

7. Drunk Rasputin is trying to tell the girls that even though he isn't circumcised
it's really ok for them to both suck it at the same time, and they won't get any diseases, because this is centuries before AIDS.

It was one of my throwaway replies, but look

There's an empty jug of wine, one girl can't even hold up her glass anymore, and they're both looking up at him like something's gonna happen.


Right?

edit: And I know the jug of wine is empty because his face is so red

18. Right...
...which of course leads to the circumcision/disease argument. That's what I'm saying, it seems so obvious to me. I don't understand how other didn't pick that up. :rofl:
