One was too big (and real) and the other wouldn't have been big enough (and was fake). They were both made of wood. One is hanging in a museum and the other one is mentioned in a book.

In both the Genesis and Galgamesh stories: The Genesis story describes how mankind had become obnoxious to God; they were hopelessly sinful and wicked. In the Babylonian story, they were too numerous and noisy. The Gods (or God) decided to send a worldwide flood. This would drown men, women, children, babies and infants, as well as eliminate all of the land animals and birds. The Gods (or God) knew of one righteous man, Ut-Napishtim or Noah. The Gods (or God) ordered the hero to build a multi-story wooden ark (called a chest or box in the original Hebrew). The ark would be sealed with pitch. The ark would have with many internal compartments It would have a single door It would have at least one window. The ark was built and loaded with the hero, a few other humans, and samples from all species of other land animals. A great rain covered the land with water. The mountains were initially covered with water. The ark landed on a mountain in the Middle East. The hero sent out birds at regular intervals to find if any dry land was in the vicinity. The first two birds returned to the ark. The third bird apparently found dry land because it did not return. The hero and his family left the ark, ritually killed an animal, offered it as a sacrifice. God (or the Gods in the Epic of Gilgamesh) smelled the roasted meat of the sacrifice. The hero was blessed. The Babylonian gods seemed genuinely sorry for the genocide that they had created. The God of Noah appears to have regretted his actions as well, because he promised never to do it again.

Well, the Spruce Goose flew for a short distance didn't it? Probably wouldn't have worked if it were loaded up with animals though... ummm... I guess they, like witches (sorry) are both made of wood!
Update: I think Robin's got it!
Update: Morgana, sorry, that was a Monty Python reference... I neither believe that witches are made of wood nor that they should be burned. In fact, I like witches, in general. Sorry for any offense I may have caused.

There's actual documented proof that the Spruce Goose, not only existed, but actually worked as well.

One exist in the cultural makeup of every tribe of people on the planet, to include the ones living deep within the Congo (which was a bridge to many peoples for early missionaries) and the other merely exists in the history of the United States (as the rest of the world thought...who cares.).
