As a legitimate, recognized, official religion, the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is prohibited from publicly endorsing political candidates. I’m not sure why that is, but I assume it has something to do with the tax-breaks we’re entitled to as a religious entity – which apparently we’re not fully taking advantage of because I still don’t have a pirate ship. At any rate, I am sure there are severe consequences for mixing politics with religion (consider the lengths Christian churches go to distance themselves from Republican politicians, and vice versa), so don’t consider this an official endorsement, but rather a non-political announcement of FSM-related news.
Jane Kim is running for the San Francisco School Board. She believes in fighting global warming and setting higher standards in education by enriching biology classes. More importantly, though, I strongly suspect she is a Pastafarian, because this one-of-a-kind FSM plush will be auctioned off at her upcoming campaign fundraiser.
Here are the event details:

This FSM plush was made by Winnie Tong. She’s also provided some high-resolution pictures of Him in various poses:
You’re much more like an over-ripe tomato with basil, oregano, four different cheeses and little unidentifiable vegetable bits.
Another problem: why *must* we change? The genome for the shark has been virtually unchanged for quite some time, predating the dinosaurs. All evolution says is that the best win. And if nobody beats me, who needs change?
The only reason why we actually create all these theories is to *predict* something. Now tell me, with your nice little intelligent design thing, what will happen if I stick some mice together and breed them. Sorry, but it seems like Mendelian genetics has the correct answer here.
Time to make a testable prediction with ID. Do it or your theory will remain vacuously hypothetical.
To the bin with daffodils and the big number 35%. We share even less genetic code with bacteria, and we’re still using the same system of DNA and all it’s semi-conservative replication and RNA codons. Is this “god” thing lazy? Pasta isn’t.
I missed this event. It would have been fun.
If she wins, I predict that pirate ships will start returning the the San Francisco harbor, the harbor business will rebound, Fisherman’s wharf will be scraped clean to put it to some good use for a change (but the sea lions will be allowed to stay), and global warming will retreat a little bit.
“Did the Model T evolve into a Mercedes Benz, or was it a product of intelligent design?”
Show me the offspring of two Model Ts humping and I’ll answer this question.
Actually, just show me two Model Ts humping. That would be awesome!
