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

Cool. I got the first comment!
I can see why as well. There isn’t that much to say about this thread!
Not that the low quality of the thread in anyway sours the joy of being the first to post!
In fact it is pretty sweet at fourth post!
Five is also pretty good.
I wonder how long I can go on posting…
…before…
..some…
Cool.
I just got a message “You can only post one message every 15 seconds. Slow down cow boy”
I’ve never seen that before.
Don’t suppose I’ll see it again soon…
Well
that’s me in well in to double figures.
Yup. I’m done.
Definitely going to stop growing this thread now.

Eleven! And a slurpee too!
Aristotle prefers cats. (He almost forgot to write in the third person here.)
That’s eleven doggies, no, twelve, a slurpee and some cats. A giraffe, someone?
Glyphosate is a systemic herbicide.
It should be harmless to humans but, Alchemist, given the amount of herbs you’ve consumed I wouldn’t go too near…

Look just type the sequence < in your message and you get a < when it posts.
Copy and past this message and see that the first bit changes to a < but the four actual <s - including this one (<) - disappear.
Could be. I’ll look it up….

You are all pathetic. Like most Christian religions this site exists purely to make it’s founder rich. You have much in common with Christianity. With your fancy clothes, cars and computers you whine about the injustice of the world and then buy your spaghetti monster T-shirt, the price of which could have saved a starving or sick child in another country. Another country who’s citizen are poor because they have been robbed for centuries by Western powers. You make me want to vomit.

.
So what’s your point?
Aristotle,
This is going to be a tinsy bit confusing but here goes:
Basically if there was a top secret discussion forum called the Disciples of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (and there isn’t) and I was a member (and I’m not because there is no such forum) then some of the members would have been discussing whether you (Aristotle) are a new person or a sock puppet of another Pastafarian.
Of course because there is no such group and so I’m not a member that conversation could never have taken place.
However because you always post in the third person, my post of Apr 29th, 2007 at 4:27 pm:
Woo Hoo! Aristotle has got it.
Could be construed as me posting as you but without setting my name to yours.
That would imply that I was Aristotle and fumbled the subtefuge!
So I was pointing out that if I was Aristotle, then I was sitting here having a trivial conversation with myself about html. That would make me a serious nut-job.
.
So to summarise. There is no group. There was no conversation. You are not me and I am not mad!

Hurrah!

The ignorance….it hurts….make it stop :(
My point is that you are all slaves to your evil nature and the evil political, religious and economic systems that flourish by allowing you to bury your heads in the sand. You say, “it’s terrible that children starve but what can I do?”. Then you spend one month’s wages for a person in Africa on a stupid shirt that mean nothing to anyone other then a one line joke about spaghetti. You create nothing, achieve nothing and consume everything. You are useless people.

@Greed - Aristotle thinks it’s admirable that you care about starving children.
@ Greed, I ask you as I asked Wrath a few days ago, “What, exactly, do you suggest I do about the ills you describe?” Yes, I could send some of my money to a starving African family, but will it get to them? Will it stop war, famine, and pestilence? I will give you (and Wrath) credit, though. It did get me thinking. The conclusion that I have come to so far is that I have a good life that could fall apart at any minute. Nothing is sacred, nowhere is safe. Granted, my life is probably safer than millions of others, and I am grateful for that. I thought about the food I bought today, the gas I consumed, the unnecessary items I purchased. Is this what you want?
.
Oh, and about the T-shirt. Yes, it is a waste of resources if you look at it from your point of view. However, it is part of a bigger picture. Our government, as flawed as it is, has stood the test of time when compared to many governments around the world. Our Constitution has meaning, and interpretation of it translates into real-world decisions. Today, it’s what will be taught in schools as science. Tomorrow it could be what religion I am told I have to practice. There are principles involved here that are worth defending. I’m sure you understand that concept.

It worked!
Very eloquently spoken SaucyWench.
Thank you Aristotle. I’m glad you figured out the italics thing.
@ SaucyWench - I don’t have much time for eloquence but I wanted to say RAmen! We don’t have to like people or agree with them to be positively influenced by them. Kudos to you for taking an angry, annoying troll and using that to think about your life. I hope everyone has a chance to read your comments - many people will gain a good perspective for having done so.
@ CNS TBHNA - If there were a top secret discussion forum (and there can’t be because if there were I’d know) I might have posted a question to you about your name. But since there have been around 400 non-existent secret posts this weekend alone, it might have got lost in the imaginary shuffle. So, I’ll ask it here!
Hubby is dying to know what “Captain Noodulous Silicate” means! Please do tell!
I hope you find this - time difference and all.

Eloquent is such a great word. Aristotle thinks there should be a “Word of the Day.” Today’s word should be pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcano-coniosis, meaning ‘a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust’ (from the Guiness book of world records). Use it as much as possible
Aristotle does not have pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcano-coniosis.
Well, I guess that’s a good thing. It sounds nasty. I was going to joke about it, but I’m sure it’s very unpleasant.
Psst. *whispering* Your supposed to try to use the word in a sentence.
For example: “Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcano-coniosis is very unpleasant.”
Oh, damn. You know, the other day at work I worked with a person who has B.O.O.P. (Bronchiolitis Obliterans Organizing Pneumonia.) I bet that’s as unpleasant as pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcano-coniosis.
