National Geographic promotes FSM at Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

National Geographic promotes FSM

Published by henderob October 23rd, 2007 in General FSM news.

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?
13 Starbuckaneer Oct 24th, 2007 at 11:51 am

Well, if you’re taking E you’ll probably be licking the ceiling soon anyway! (It’s sooooo pretty… and textured!)

Cool…I had spaghettis for lunch.

Lace - nice!

Sorry, missed an “e”.

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
