Pastafarian Derrick had this custom roof decal made for his Mini Cooper:
I think it looks amazing.
Update: lots of people have asked where to find these decals. Here’s a message from Derrick:
I asked aestheticreations if they could create a custom design based on the pirate fish from the merchandise link of the PF. They just had to get Bobby to say ok, they didn’t want to make something without permission.
They did a great job. The link is below. Please tell everyone about them :D Not sure when but they said they also wanted to add this picture to their site.

It’s not for the SUV or Truck drivers to see. It’s for FSM to see when he looks down and guides my little mini around with his noodly appendage and help it to avoid being hit :)

Pastafarian Marc sent us this picture:
Perhaps the Charles Darwin Research Station will see fit to fly the Pirate Fish flag?
Some of you may remember this flag from the Pastafarian invasion of Catalina Island:

Powell’s Books, I like you guys because you put The Gospel in the Philosophy section, not in the Humor section.
Also, I’m the one who always arranges them face-out so they’re more visible. Sorry.

The picture above is a specialty plate being considered in Florida. It would be the first specialty plate in the US to promote a specific religion.
I think it’s fine, so long as other religions are allowed specialty plates, too. I can’t imagine their argument against allowing that, but you know they’ve got one already. Something like “Christian plates are OK because Christianity is the correct religion.”
No surprise, the ACLU’s on top of it:
The problem with the state manufacturing the plate is that it “sends a message that Florida is essentially a Christian state” and, second, gives the “appearance that the state is endorsing a particular religious preference,” said Howard Simon, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida.
Florida Rep. Kelly Skidmore has some common sense:
“It’s not a road I want to go down. I don’t want to see the Star of David next. I don’t want to see a Torah next. None of [those other religions that I am not a part of] are appropriate to me,” said Skidmore, a Democrat who voted against the plate in committee. “I just believe that.”
Fair warning, Florida: If your Christian plate is approved, the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster WILL seek our own plate promoting Pastafarianism.
Pastafarians, let’s start designing the plate now. Please send me your submissions!

Pastafarian Chris Fortney created this art for us:
Rolling Stone has featured the Flying Spaghetti Monster in its latest issue - the one with Keith Richards and Mick Jagger on the cover - the April 17, 2008 issue, pictured to the right. Check out page 39.
RS has a huge circulation; who knows how many converts we gained. It’s cool to see the mainstream media picking up on the fastest growing religion in the world.
The article - Investigating Bush - is about Rep. Henry Waxman, Chairman of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. More or less, he’s the guy calling out the Bush Administration on their bullshit. I could not be more pleased that the FSM was included - I have a lot of respect for Rep. Waxman, as I imagine many Pastafarians do.
I’ve included a couple scans. Click to enlarge.
The FSM is placed furthest to the left on the “with us - against us” scale. That is awesome.
This is the second time that the FSM has been featured in Rolling Stone. The first was in the November 3, 2005 issue. Hoobastank vocalist Doug Robb was wearing an FSM shirt. He also thanked the the FSM on their last album’s cover-art.

Pastafarian Mark found this sculpture while exploring the Microsoft campus.
So I tend to wander around the buildings at Microsoft just to get some exercise and see what is up, and we have a big collection of art on campus that gets rotated between buildings every year or so. So I generally expect to see some interesting things in the halls. So while I was over in Building 4 the other day (location of the closest espresso stand) and I notice some odd sculpture on the second floor balcony. Going upstairs, what do I find? A sculpture of the Flying Spaghetti Monster! Now that’s some pretty cool art.
I have heard rumors of this sculpture and that Bill G, himself, commissioned its creation. I was skeptical of its existence and have always had trouble believing that Bill G was in fact a devout Pastafarian, but this photo has changed everything.
Thanks Mark!
