Official Recognition by Facebook

I received this message from Will:

I found this while updating a certain profile of mine of a certain website called Facebook. You probably already know of this website as it is quite well known to the masses. You have probably already seen what I am emailing you to show you, but in case you haven’t I feel the need to send you an email anyway. On with showing. Attached is a .jpg file with a screen shot of my computer displaying the editing of my Facebook profile. I was changing my religious views to “Pastafarian” (naturally) and in doing so when I had only typed in four letters “PAST” the website went on to finish it with a choice of “Pastafarian”. I found this quite amusing.

p.s. When I began typing in “Rast” to see if they finish that as “Rastafarian” nothing came up. Which means, if Facebook was the authority on religions in the world, you’d have the Rastafarian’s beat. Congrats!

Thanks, facebook. I wonder if Myspace snubs us because of that FSM virus that was infecting their users pages - even though it was almost certainly created by someone who was not a Pastafarian.

    Not sure, but I think a lot of Facebook indexing is based on the databases. For example, if enough people insert certain words in certain categories, it will try to finish it for you. I could be completely wrong, and it could just be that they love us, but I wouldn’t be surprised if other commonly-placed words were also auto-completed by Facebook.

    Spaghetti is the official religion of 324 people listed in the Toronto Network. Must be a Pastafarian sub set!

Purchase the Gospel

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
