Wired’s Gadget Lab takes a look at these speakers which clearly have a close resemblance to the FSM. Coincidence?

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
DPG. I received an e-mail from Jamie. Not enough people as yet!

What was the pledge link again :)
www.pledgebank.com/church-and-state
.
But read my last comment over there. Things are moving with the humanist organisations. No guarantees, but I’m fairly optimistic.
Let’s hope so! I’m going to offer to buy two books if the deadline looks iffy!

DPG. I’ve been an idiot on here for too long, and will continue to be so :) but we have to act! Lest we go the way of the USA (no offence to the Americans BTW)

Apparently, this pledge is only valid for the UK: which MP could I address, in Belgium?????
@Jean Bart
The action is not for Belgium. You could pick any open UK MP if you wanted to I suppose. Please do! Any part of the UK you’ve been to you feel a little attachment to?
@Alchemist
I’m woking on it. Not visible and nothing I can officially state yet, as I only have verbal commitments from the humanist committee memebers. But by the second week of March it may already all be fixed.
@Alchemist
Well, I went and signed up on the site, and it said it sent a link to my email that I had to use to get back on and pledge my money. I tried several times to access the site via the link they sent my, but everytime I get an error message saying page not available. It is entirely possible that it is my computer acting up, I haven’t been able to go to radio blog lately either, which also uses an email link to access. SO, one of the people I work with who is interested in this thing as well has agreed to make a pledge for me at the same time he makes one for himself. He is from U.K, and he thinks the whole idea is ludicrous. So he is letting all of his friends and family from there know about it as well… hopefully this will generate some pledges for you.
.
So yeah, I made a cash pledge to my buddy, and he will pick a constituency for me and make the donation. I know I could probably work it out through my computer or do it using a friends, but this just seemed easier.
@Batman
Appreciated, through whatever method it gets done.
@Alchemist- is there any way the USAians can help with this? Though I guess we should try to dig out of our own hole first:(
Still, just say the word.
@Dread Wench L’TUAE
I think you can take one constituency, see pledgebank link above. If it doesn’t work then email me and we’ll follow Batmans procedure (i. e. you tell me you want to make a pledge, send me the 8 pounds, I make the pledge on your behalf from within the UK). Same goes for Jean Bart of course, or anyone else outside the UK. If you want to help but can’t, please let me know (my email is on my home page)!
I’m pretty sure it’s in the Irish constitution that we have to have a vote for the European one, not quite as much blind loyalty to the church here as there once was, so we might be able to put the kaibosh (no idea how to spell that) on it
RAmen to that Storm Petrel.

Ireland has received a good deal of EU money in the past. How would you rate the chances that people who oppose the religious parts would still vote for the constitution because they might be more Europe-appreciative than the Dutch or French?
@ everyone - I am very impressed with the level of involvement of people on this site. I am working really hard in my little corner of the world to change the people I can reach for the better (have one horse back riding student who is now an ex-Mormon! And one that would be a Pastafarian if she had her own internet access and didn’t have to use her xtian mom’s computer). But, many of you are taking on much bigger projects and that is so very cool!
@ Dread Wench - we do have a hole to dig ourselves out of! And I think it’s getting bigger all the time. It’s getting kind of scary around here…
@ DutchPastaGuy
I think it was the Nice Treaty, our Taoiseach pretty much expected everyone to vote for it because the government wanted it to be passed…no info, vote no, never mind being appreciative, when it was actually explained and the government stopped treating everyone like little kids it passed on the second vote, but the majority of people here won’t vote yes to something just because it comes from Europe.
There has also been a hell of a lot of investment in Ireland by US companies, didn’t stop people from developing a distinct dislike of the government for letting US war planes refuel in Shannon on the way to Iraq, and there was probably more security around GW when he came here to protect him from protesters than I’ve ever seen in the Republic, I doubt anyone would have tried to kill him, but there would probably have been a few rotten eggs thrown.
The point of all that, being more appreciative of something won’t stop people going against what it wants.
Everything is based off FSM. Just like them Tangle Toys thing.
I have a dildo that looks like that.
I just bet you do!
@ Dreadwench. Thanks for the offer by the way. It was very much appreciated.
You lot are helping. Being on a site like this you are saying enough is enough. If more people do what you and the rest of us are doing then, maybe, just maybe we can avert another dark age.
RAmen!
@Alchemist
really, thats good that just being here is helping, cause I’m flat broke for spending cash right now. :(
All my money is going into a college acccount, and if I start to dip, I won’t be able to stop.
Absolutely FSM, what else should it be?
FSM made an appearance at Mardi Gras this year:
