GOD STOPS BAYWATCH BABE FROM FINDING NOAH’S ARK
August 10 2011
Igdir, Turkey – The quest has ended. Donna D’Errico, a former Playboy Playmate and star of ‘Baywatch’ has decided to end her quest to find the legendary Noah’s Ark. D’Errico, 43, had travelled to the fabled Mount Ararat in hopes of finding the mythical 
vessel which, according to Biblical lore, helped form the modern world.
D’Errico’s quest to find the Ark was halted after a death threat levied against her partner and efforts by her guide to talk her out of the hunt for the legendary ship. The actress had been training for three months to make the quest, something she had hoped to do since childhood, but called off the effort because of the safety concerns.
“It is very hard to let go of this dream. This is something I have wanted to do for so long and something which has drawn so many people over the years, but out of safety concerns we decided that it was best to stop,” said D’Errico in a statement. “It is still my hope that someday, someone will uncover the Ark and add a new chapter to this legend but unfortunately that will not be me. I guess this was just God’s will.”
It’s not clear what type of threats were made or whether or not God had anything to do with them.
“There are some things which should simply not be uncovered, some things which are the domain of the Holy and should not be touched by mortal man. Many people believe that the Ark is one of those things and so it’s not surprising that it was challenge for her,” said Scrape TV Religion analyst Bertram Gas. “To be fair though, one could argue that perhaps these were just challenges laid ahead of her to make her stronger. It wasn’t easy for Noah after all.”
While versions of the tale vary, most agree that Noah was motivated to construct the Ark and save two of every species when God sent a great flood across the world. It’s not clear if similar motivations inspired D’Errico.
“The tale of Noah is very much rooted in standard mythology and there is no strong evidence one way or the other that it actually happened, at least as read. It is very unlikely that a vessel of that size could have been constructed or that the man building it could have lived to 950 years old but it does make for a compelling tale,” 
continued Gas. “That story has influenced much of religion over the years and, obviously, former Playboy Playmates. It would have been interesting to see where this quest went if she had had the determination to push forward, but, well that will never happen now I guess.”
D’Errico was also married to rock star Nikki Sixx. It’s not clear what in her history prompted this religious experience.
“To have real insight, real revelation, one has to make sacrifice. Death threats are obviously not the kind of thing a person wants, but they are perhaps the sacrifice one has to make to find true understanding. It’s really sad that she decided to step back,” continued Gas. “She seems fit and well trained to find the Ark. I’m not sure what her experience working with David Hasselhoff would contribute to that motivation, if anything, but it couldn’t have hurt.”
D’Errico will apparently now turn to uncovering the fabled Ark of La Cienega, a little closer to home.
