Noah's ark was supposed to be 300 cubits (over 500 feet) long and the tower of Babel was supposed to be over 5000 cubits (over 8000 feet!) tall.

Well, I believe biblical math has pi as 3.00, and it couldn't make up it's mind as to how many horses were in Solomon's stable. Maybe it's another clue like the clue in Jeremiah 8:8.
