Woah….that is just so..so…dumb. Really, it is. I hope no one actually thinks that that graph has any purpose, or credibility. Global warming and pirates have nothing in correlation. The reason global temperatures have increased is due to (not only just greenhouse gas, which actually do not contribute much overall) the earth’s natural process of heating and cooling. Pirate numbers have decreased because the practice is far less accepted and is more easily restricted. I don’t mean to sound rude, well actually I do. That’s bullshit, all of it. Seriously. I’d rather you believe in no higher power, and have good morales, than worship dinner.

The graph serves a great purpose. It makes our religion more credible than most other religions. While it is possible that there is a lurking variable (time), it is quite probable that the most important cause for the inverse correlation is the FSM.

As for the last bit about wishing we were atheist, I should point out that most of us are either atheist or agnostic.

Before you post here again, please get a sense of humor. Then, maybe you will get the joke.

Sean, you clearly suffer from a serious disease: Humor Defficiency Syndrome. To cure it I prescribe daily visits to this site, wearing of pirate regalia and eye-patch and a daily dose of rum and beer.
Also, Sean, please learn to use the ellipsis mark correctly.
@ Sean – Satire, dude! I agree with RDPK – definite HDS for you.
@ Avatar of Reason – ah, the ellipsis…one of Rowdy’s favorite forms of punctuation… :)))
“not only just greenhouse gas, which actually do not contribute much overall”
wooh…this statement is just so.. so.. dumb.
It flies in the face of all serious science.
Just went to an event this morning and heard from experts on the subject. I live near Woods Hole oceanographic, MBL, NOAA, and others. Lots of those folks were there.
I guess if you consider us humans as evolutionary beings then our wastes are natural. But since its far more likely we were created by the touch of His Noodly Appendege….

“. I’d rather you believe in no higher power, and have good morales, than worship dinner.”
If you follow the advice of the good wenches, you could join us. Get a sense of humour and drop the superstitions. Have good morals (and a rational outlook on life) instead. If you would spread that message througout the country you live in, all Pastafarians would be grateful.
@ DPG – Hiya! How goes the trip so far?
Hi Rowdy,
Fine sofar, although I arrived two days early and the conference hasn’t started yet. Yesterday was a nice day of tourism in Monterey. This morning I ran a bit and then the rain started. So back to CoFSM instead of the Californian sun that won’t show itself at the moment.
