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.

Lasagna isn’t veggie normally. Though you some nice veggie ones based around spinach and mushrooms.

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.

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 ;)

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.

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.
