I received the following email from Jonathon:
It is very gratifying to know that Pastafarianism is becoming a mainstream, accepted and acceptable, religion.
The October 2007 National Geographic magazine contained two articles of great interest. One was on global warming. The other was on the decline of the Malacca pirates. Although National Geographic may not have been brave enough to explicitly put two and two together, the connection is there for anyone with open eyes to see.
I completely agree. I don’t think it’s a stretch to think that they’re making a reference to the Pastafarian belief that global warming is related to the decline in pirates. It is a subtle message, but it’s there.
Thank you for your support, NG.
Anyway, it would appear that NG has been touched by His Noodly Appendage.
New thread to play on.
Pity they couldn’t show the link between the two openly, but we all know it’s there.
You’re lucky I didn’t post yet… I saw it… and I hesitated. I’m ok with 4th. Is 4th coffee?
Only one medal per poster, so you get bronze.
So you get coffee storm petrel. What do I get? (please!)
Bronze sucks.
@Al — I’ll trade you my bronze for a quad venti non-fat sugar-free vanilla caramel macchiato.
“@Al — I’ll trade you my bronze for a quad venti non-fat sugar-free vanilla caramel macchiato.”
.
Sure thing - I stopped drinking coffee a few years ago. It was making me a bit *too* hyper :D
.
I can probably use my alchemical skill to turn the bronze into erm, runny bronze.
Damn threads that close and then open at a later date. The FSM must be trying to test us.
Coffee just mellows me out and helps me concentrate… it’s terrible… I’m such an addict.
Bah, on the days I can sleep, I could suck back 4 triple shot lattes and a 2 liter of Jolt and still drift right off… But hey, insomnia makes me perfect for night watch duty! I’m even pretty handy at the helm! (helmet too, but that’s another story!)
@Wench Cyka - You can handle my tiller any time!
I think I’d be licking the ceiling if I had caffeine now.
It’d probably react with all the coke and E I take :P
.
Hi WC and O-e W. How goes it?
Well, if you’re taking E you’ll probably be licking the ceiling soon anyway! (It’s sooooo pretty… and textured!)
Stop encouraging him. You know how yummy Artex is.
It tastes like icing…
Mmmmmm what is this? Orange peel or Spanish lace? I l-l-l-l-love it!
Comments were open for this one!
Cool…I had spaghettis for lunch.
It tastes all shiny :D
.
Lace - nice!
I had noodl soup.
Sorry, missed an “e”.
Don’t worry NoodlyOne, I think Alchemist got it!
I meant chicken noodle soup.
Is anyone watching the Chelsea match?
those arrrrren’t tentacles! they be noodles. yay it all makes sense now, fer years we been confusing the giant squid with the fsm, yarrrrrr
Hey tom
“Is anyone watching the Chelsea match?”
.
You favour the round ball?
.
Gadzooks sir!
.
Naah - still got a strop on about the disallowed try.
.
I prefer my balls to be oval :D
nice
noodlyone! i’ve been spreading the word of the hobbit movie on various boards (after i verified it’s existence on imdb) sice yesterday’s conversation, Hey anyone here named commander jumper on gateworld? but other than posting i’ve been chilling with my wife goldberry. how r u dude
WAIT I was asking if they were making a hobbit movie! I wasn’t saying they had. Otherwise I’m fine (except for maths assignments). Say “hi” to Old Man Willow for me.
I have heard rumours though of a Hobbit movie, though. Have you seen the animated one?
I’ve heard tell of a Hobbit movie, because Sir Ian McKellen is sad that beardy bloke won’t be directing it.
Regardless he wants to play that beardy character (Dumbledore?) he played in the Lord of the Flies(?) movie.
I thought they were still in court over the Hobbit and who was getting the rights to it. Although extremely cautious, I wouldn’t mind Peter getting a crack at it. Although, once again I reiterate, it is a CHILDREN’s book.
BTW. Did you hear Dumbledore was gay? Well he was according to JKR.
He had a crush on Gellert Grindelwald apparently.
There must be so many jokes about Dumbledore taking Gellert Grindelwalds elder wand that the universe isn’t big enough to write them down.
I thought he was pretty good in LOTR. How do you get that symbol thing?
sorry, i’m a slow typer.
Oh yeah and LOTR is for grown ups! Wa wa waaa!
So is harry Potter. ROFL.
I dunno w/Dumbledore maybe it is.
I like Harry Potter.
I saw that Dumbledore rumor. I was on perezhilton.com
hahahahahahahaha
not a rumour JKR said so
I had like a pound of pasta and I am still hungry.
lasagna tonight!
I would have died if I only had a chicken noodle soup
lasagna counts as pasta, no?
it was a big bowl
(of soup)
and now I’m eating tostitos con salsa
scoops?
hahahahahaha
yeah right! of soup.
Lasagna is pasta
oh good, I was worried
didn’t want to offend the FSM
Lasagna defintely counts as pasta. Its on the Pasta shelf in all my local supermarkets.
it’s veggi though :(
I like meat
Lasagna isn’t veggie normally. Though you some nice veggie ones based around spinach and mushrooms.
It’s pretty good.
Any veggie dish can always be fixed by adding a few rashers of grilled bacon.
If you’re going to a veggie household, just wrap a few in foil and take them with you.
That’s my top tip for the day.
good tip
I’ll be sure to use it next potluck.
Ta muchly. Try this:
.
Turn your greenhouse in to a handy shed by boarding up all but one of the windows.
only good use for it.
Veggies in winter is just wrong. Where’d you get the square thingy?
It’s a unicode character. If you’re using Windows go to Progams/Accessories/System Tools/Character Map and you’ll find all sorts of interesting symbols like:

Wicked!
Is it for Mac too? Sorry about the two-entries-in-a-row thing. I’ve got an itchy “submit” finger.
I work at National Geographic and wanted to point out a FSM resemblance you may have missed on our site, although other readers noticed:
ngm.typepad.com/pop_omnivore/2007/10/mummy-with-a-we.html
You infiltrated the ranks of NG to spread the word. You’re a brave soul.
☼♂♣☺♀♫♥ WOW!!!
HA! And people say there’s not historic proof! I’d like to see those fundies come up with something backed up by National Geographic!
Wicked link.
You should e-mail it to Prophet Bobby.
I cannot get the funky symbols.
@NoodlyOne. My favourite pizza is veggie pizza. With Chorizo!
That is pork, by the way
I just saw that squid. Now I fancy some seafood.
Isn’t malacca the Greek word for wanker?

St John the Blasphemist
Saint of Pajero Pirates
Calamari!
Gaar National Geographic, much like most schools that are apparently ‘public’ in relation to christianity.
WE HAVE GAINED OUR FIRST SUBSERVIENT MEDIA
CAN I GET A RAMEN?
PacificPam - I’m a liberal vegetarian. So I’ll defend your right to eat poor defenceless ikkle piggies but I’ll *tut* menacingly in the background :)
@The Donkey From The Moon - Ramen
Have you guys seen the FSM crown you can make for Halloween on Evil Mad Scientist? It’s pretty cool:

Hi Marilyn
“I work at National Geographic”
.
Kudos! Being a serious contributor to NG was actually a starry eyed ambition of mine for quite a few years from around the time I was a 16-17yo. Even studied photography for a year in preparation, then life….as in travelling/partying/playing house….kinda got in the way ;)
NG was a FSM send for me. Along with photography mags and the Littlewood’s catalogue :D
(OK - who’s old enough to know what I’m on about?)
Not familiar with Littlewoods, but NG is still one of the treasures you can pick up cheap…bout 50cents to $1au (or a beer bottle top in English money :p) …. in most of the charity shops here. I still have a large collection of them.
More importantly they had ‘photos of topless women in them.
Did y’all notice the New York Times’ story today about pirates and environmental concerns?

Big surprise. I guess they didn’t know about your chart.
