[TAPat]

it's a pirate ship!!!

[The Witch]

9. K&R for His Noodly appendage!!!!

This is HUGH!!1!!!one!!!

[Zenlitened]

11. Hee hee hee! Great article, complete with petulant whining...

... from fundie creationists, who still claim they've got "science" to back up their nonsense!

Seriously, this whole "ID" movement is a stain on modern society. It's an expression of the very worst in human nature, a desperate need to cling to fantasies when confronted by the cold hard truth.

Whatever happened to "the truth shall set ye free"? Depends on what sort of truth -- or "truthiness" -- one is trying to peddle, I guess. :shrug:

[BR_Parkway]

17. We have science too - I can prove water boils, pasta requires boiling

water - therefore, pasta exists!

26. Someone in my area has that FSM car plaque.

Saw it on the back of a car on Route 202 South in Morris County, NJ last week.

Okay folks...'fess up. :)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

36. It was me!

Just kidding. I'm the blue cherokee with the buddhist mandala suncatcher sticker and the rainbow "Girls Kick Ass!" sticker. I'm STILL waiting for my DU sticker to arrive.

So if you pass that car, honk and give me a peace sign or something.

[KyndCulture]

12. RAMEN! Praise to his noodliness!

[Kurovski]

13. "...heaven has a stripper factory"

:rofl:

I think I'm converted. Arrrr!

[Pacifist Patriot]

14. I foresee the ultimate irony...

The year 4236 C.E. and Pastafarianism is widely considered literal truth.

[gatorboy]

15. You youngen's and yer crazy religions...

I'll take Bob Dobb's over FSM any day. :P

[Justpat]

16. We just started buying USA Today a few days ago.

So I saw that article first thing this morning.
What a riot.

That is one funny dude.

Last week I had sent away for one of the FSM decals for my car.

[progressoid]

21. Forgive me FSM, I was going to eat rice tonight!

[Dudley_DUright]

22. I find it comforting that the Prophet of Pastafarianism, Bobby Henderson,

is trained as a physicist. Perhaps I too can directly communicate with the great and powerful FSM. Can't wait to buy the book of noodly goodness. Arrrrg.

[NobleCynic]

24. Yar

[NoodleyAppendage]

31. ore than 70,000 Australians declared themselves "Jedi" in their 2001 censu

that is hysterical :rofl:

[Random_Australian]

32. We did. And may the force be with you.

We are the Jedi, you have the sinister Empiror... what's up with that?

[gordontron]

39. yes please come and take care of him nt

[DFW]

33. Can anyone doubt what a great county we are?

Where else could you make more money inventing and selling
a Flying Spaghetti Monster decal than you can working for
a living?

[Zookeeper]

34. There are two Baptist fundamentalist colleges...

within 2 miles of my home. I have to get a SPM bumpersticker!:evilgrin:

[Solly Mack]

35. I anoint myself with marinara

and sprinkle the holy cheese

My body is a temple
... that holds the noodly appendage close to my heart.
My bowl runneth over with uncommonly goodness

Though I walk through the valley of Jesus toast and Mary underpasses, I will fear no e-bay crazies.

For the FSM is with me.

[Nikki Stone1]

and everything?

[Kerrytravelers]

43. Pitter-pat has been touched by his Noodly Appendage. (see sig line)

[Brazenly Liberal]

the more we reduce global warming. It is statistically proven!

Linguini!
