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.
Facebok also has a CoFSM Application.

What’s the rest of your name on it? Find me on there.
What was the virus on Myspace?

It was not always like this…my brother and I started the Official Petition to Facebook asking them to make Pastafarian one of their recognized, official religions, and while the membership is dwindling now, the people, and pirates, have spoken!

It can’t have been like this for too long. I first created my page in June and I actually had to type *all* the letters! I tell ya, those last seven letters were a real drag.
i noticed this when i converted (in real life and on facebook) and it made me really happy
:-D
Thats Great!!!
