I have no idea what Stouffer had in mind there. I...guess she might have thought that it would appeal to the adults reading it to their kids, much like how The Road to El Dorado had stuff to amuse the adults as well as the children. The only thing is, the "grown up" stuff is so badly written, I find it impossible to believe that anyone of any age would like it.
Huh, I see what you mean about Moses. Still, as Shaolina pointed out, it was a river right next to the Pharaoh's palace and not the wide ocean. And you're right, it's an incredibly stupid set-up. If radiation was such a concern (which apparently it is, as it happened before), why not just plan ahead and build a bunch of boats for EVERYONE to sail away in, with food and water and so on?
Re: I said it before, and I'll say it again.
