    RDPW & Booty: It isn’t clear yet, where in Germany we will live (or maybe even Vienna or London!), but being used to the US-distances here, both of your countries will be pretty close!! ;P

    If you don’t like being stuck in the hold. Where do you like being stuck!

    You DO remember Professor B♥♥ty prefers to stay on firm ground, manning (wenching?) the bar. She IS a landlubber (landlubster??), you know! Yarrrrrr!

    Professor Booty, I’ll give you some Dramamine to take. I don’t want you left behind on shore when we finally get our pirate ship! Besides, I have a feeling that the wenches will be running the ship anyway — let’s just say we’re not PMS-ing as much as (some of ) the pirates are right now!

    Beth, of course we will, but we don’t want them to know that yet do we? So, shush, don’t tell them!

    I’ve just thought.
    There’s probably enough salvageable wood in Greenwich to make a bench.
    Probably not much more than that to be honest.
    It might be a bit scorched though.
    .
    I’ll probably need to quite a bit of rubbing down.

    Don’t worry Booty,
    I asked her and she said coming round and trying out my bench sounded boring!
    .
    Some people just don’t know what they’re missing.
    .
    Seriously though, Liz never came back so I think that proves she wasn’t a troll.

    I think we should get hundred’s of replica Cutty Sark’s built to sail the world with the good news of the FSM and the impending marriage in heaven to the IPU.

    We would also sort out global warming – sailing has a minimal carbon footprint compared with aircraft – delcine in pirates did lead to global warming and we can reverse global warming by launching Cutty Sarks!

    Well we and the UK branch of the FSM had a ceremony on a real pirate ship in London the Golden Hind, dressed as pirates we even had the BBC filming

    Hasn’t made much news on the board unfortunately even through it was 2 world firsts

    1) First FSM ceremony and meeting on a real pirate ship (well in modern times)
    2) First FSM meeting funded by the tax payer (ie the BBC)

    It’s really sad for the local area, it was such a nice thing to have around (I live in Lewisham, I could walk to the Cutty Sark in about 45 mins. They were refurbishing anyway, so none of the masts and stuff were damaged. Here’s to hoping they can rebuild the old treasure!

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
