atheist game show

Published by Bobby Henderson July 4th, 2009 in General FSM news. 0 Comments

A Turkish television show is offering contestants what it claims is the “biggest prize ever” — the chance for atheists to convert to one of the world’s major religions.

The show, called “Tovbekarlar Yarisiyor,” or “Penitents Compete,” features a Muslim imam, a Catholic priest, a Jewish rabbi and a Buddhist monk attempting to persuade 10 atheists of the merits of their religion, according to CNN Turk.

I don’t know anything about this picture… anyone know?

Almost died

We were visiting a waterfall and a flash flood came out of nowhere.

Here is the story with pictures.

Update 7/2 - does not sound good - this headline was on the Bohol radio station website:

*SHORT PANTS OF THE MISSING PERSON WHO DROWNED AT MAG ASO FALLS WAS FOUND YESTERDAY AFTERNOON AS RESCUE OPERATIONS CONTINUE

My mom is pretty much the coolest mom ever and made this for my college apartment in Lubbock, Texas, which is straight up Bible belt. His Noodliness watches over us while we eat our dinners consisting mostly of ramen (being poor college students).

Just wanted to let you know that we’re doing our part to spread the word…We were on our way to a local Pirate Festival in No. California…it’s not a pirate ship, but it gets us around–oh, and people get out of their cars at stop lights and ask us what the little silver crab guy is all about….

I’m a member of Free-Thought Alliance group at University of North Texas. The other day we were at the freshmen orientation letting people know about our group. We got a little bored and made this.

Hello, I’m Mexican and I was finding very funny the FSM page, but when I turned my eyes to the emty dish of my banana split, I can´t believe it but I found that his noodlyness show me the truth about the universe.

Since now, I will be a pastafarian.

The Spaghetti Constant

Published by Bobby Henderson June 22nd, 2009 in General FSM news and evidence. 49 Comments

I work as a scientist in the area of coating nanotechnology, or more precisely in the development of so called nano sputtering methods. Nano sputtering is a way to position single atoms or clusters of many atoms onto a surface to form a pattern with a nanometer thickness. Often the result is rather random; it is a little bit like firing off a shotgun against a wall with the atoms as shots. My research is aiming for methods to fine-tune the sputtering in order to achieve a desired pattern and thickness instead of just a random pattern, and I did recently a quite fantastic discovery I would like to disclose at your web site. An important parameter is the Diertmann-Zeigler value (d/z value) which easily can be understood as the lateral spin energy of the atom when the Möbier coefficient is set to 1 in the equation below:

When the d/z value is continually changed from 0.24 (which is focal zero point) to 9.56 (which is van Haank’s theoretical maximum) the achieved atom pattern should according to the theory be totally random. However, according to my findings there is one single value (d/z = 1.115) which does not give a random pattern, but always exactly the same pattern (see below).

The d/z value 1.115 is equal to π/e and obviously a natural constant which I hereby would like to denominate the spaghetti constant s.

Once again, the FSM was spotted at the Fremont Solstice Parade, accompanied by Devoted Followers dressed in pirate regalia.

The community painting was Touched by His presence, as well:

Here are a bunch of pictures from last year’s parade.

A little late for Easter but I just found this picture on the internet and had to post it. These eggs were made by Pastafarian Jamie.

Our cat, Tuna, brings home the strangest things. You’ll never believe what s/he (we’re not sure) brought home last night.

One day my friend and I were walking in the park when we saw something on the ground. it was a dandilion plant, but not just any dandilion plant, we had been touched by his noodly apendage!

Ramen eh,

Purchase the Gospel

Purchase from B&N

An elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design, The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is neither too elaborate nor too spoofy to succeed in nailing the fallacies of ID. It's even wackier than Jonathan Swift's suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from being a burden, and it may offend just as many people, but Henderson, described elsewhere as a 25-year-old "out-of-work physics major," puts satire to the same serious use that Swift did. Oh, yes, it is very funny. -- Scientific American
