And then Ferret Math took over, and by the time the first raindrops fell,
Noah had 17 ferrets.
 
G-d:  "Noah!  What's this?  I told you TWO of each animal!"
 
Noah:  "I know, but...how could I resist?"
 
G-d: "Yeah, yeah...I know.  Never mind.  From this day forward, anyone who
opens the door to their heart and home to a ferret will find that Ferret
Math will strike, just as surely as it has stricken you.  It is a
phenomenon I will instill, and it will last until the last ferret is
adopted into a loving home...meanwhile, I have to get this flood started.
Button your overcoat...but, wait!  First..."
 
Noah: "Uh-oh...what, L-rd?"
 
G-d: "There's a pair of ferrets in New Jersey that are looking for a good
home...do you think you could squeeze just *two* more into the Ark?"
 
Noah: "Sure, there's always more for two more.  Hey, you!  Unicorns!  Get
out!  We've got more ferrets coming in!"
 
And *that's* the REAL reason why there aren't any unicorns around today...
