You must be fucking kidding me

You must be fucking kidding me :| i came across this site while i was googling for innocent “i’m sorry” messages… but the whole idea of having a wad of spaghetti as a god whom you all look up to, is like, sorry to say, disturbing. I know god has no physical form and it is just a state to help people understand better what is beyond our brain capabilities to understand certain matters, but a wad of spaghetti, well, just doesn’t cut it for me.
-Andrea

[and a little while later...]

In the about screen quote: “…mostly fundamentalist Christians, who have accepted that our God has larger balls than theirs”. So this is what it’s all about? It’s all a big prick-waving dick-fight? I’m Christian as well, and as I have stated above, I don’t believe our God is in a human form. Our God got his “human” form because it was much simpler to preach to people about our religion without having to go into detail of what is and what is not a “god”. Simply said, our religion is flawed. Big time. But still, I see beyond that and I see beyond the bible and beyond all the preaching, and form my own opinion of what the representatives of God are trying to tell us. So far, I got to “Love one another and love yourself”. The rest is an elaboration of that statement.

    Orite. I fail to see your point. Are you capable of realizing there are other view points than yours? We say love one another and yourself, too. Just our God has balls ;]

    Do you ridicule Hindus because many of their deities have many arms?
    Do you ridicule Shintos (not sure if that is what they prefer to be called) because to them, every object has a spirit?
    Do you ridicule other ideas because they’re not yours?

    You claim an invisible, transcendent being with no form created everything and tries to tell people what is right and wrong, and you ridicule us?

    You claim to have seen past Christianity, but you are no better than what Christianity is. Sure, it says it advocates what most would consider to be “good”, but in reality it is a power base, and its’ followers are used to suppress opposing viewpoints. Many have truly embodied the Christian ideals while still being open minded and tolerant. And this goes for all organized religion. With the exception of Buddhists – they’re pretty chill.

    Well Andrea, you seem to be nothing more than a bigot.

    Peace

    Hi Andrea.

    You miss the point. Its not so much that we worship the FSM. We don’t. It is our alternative to the creationists wanting to make intelligent design to be taught in schools. If one theory is taught, surely all theories of creationism should be taught. Thus, the birth of the FSM. I understand. You took things a little to seriously. This is about a making a point, Andrea. Not about worshiping a god made out of spaghetti, that flies, who made a mountain, made a tree, and made a midgit.

    Have a nice day!

    So you admit your “god” is incomprehensible, but you believe in it anyways. And it has to be described in human form because people are too stupid to understand something incomprehensible. And going on about “love” while using the f-word is a contradiction.

    Yes Adrea it is a dick fight, and our GOD is the alpha male in the fight.

    As a matter of fact I would contend you god is the ultimate beta male.

    I base this on a book callled Sperm Wars by Robin Cook. In it he contends that people are not biologically monogamous. The best mating strategy for the human male is to spread his seed far and wide by impregnating as many females as possible. It’s a good strategy because with each release of semen, he produces enough spermatazoa to impregnate the entire female population of planet earth. In short, there no scarcity of reproductive resources so the behavioral predisposition natural selection has selected for males is promiscuity. Or as you might put it: Men are dogs.

    As for the female: her reporductive resources are scarce, she produces only 1 egg a month and she wants to make sure she has the right male impregnate her. What’s the right male-well, that’s complicated. You see if a male impregnates her and then abandons her, odds are she’ll be unable to take care of her and her baby, and they’ll both die. However, just because a guy hangs around does not make his seed prime reproductive material. He may be a beta male-what modern american females refer to as a “nice guy”. He may hang around but his seed may be inferior to the bad boy love ‘em and leave ‘em alpha male type, and, as a consequence, she may waste a lot of time raising a weak kid who won;t live lone enought to reproduce anyway.

    What’s a girl to do? Well Cook suggests that the best solution is for the girl to commit to the beta male and mate with him and when she is most fertile mate surreptitiously with the alpha male and become pregnant by him. That way the alpha males sperm and the beta males sperm have a sperm war in her vagina with hopefully the alpha males sperm winning. The beta male (read husband) thinks the little darling offspring is his and hangs around and raises the alpha males kid who thrives and lives to father the next generation. Isn’t natural selection sneaky?

    Anyway, an extension of this theory is that God was invented to enforce fidelity by beta males. If there was an omniscient but sexless male (a “one true friend” in the terms of one of this blog’s posters), then the odds were increased that the beta males’ females would remain faithful when he had his back turned. Why because the woman can no longer say to herself “no one will ever know” if Yaweh is watching over her at all times and punishing all transgressions.

    And what better watcher than Yaweh. Why? He possesses none of the attributes of an alpha male.
    Think about it. Does he 1) Get lots of women? Of course not, even his only begotten son, was begotten without benefit of sexual intercourse.

    Is he a leader of men? Well, consider the case of the Israelites who wander 40 year aroun the Sinai before he was able to lead them to the “Promised Land”. I’m pretty sure any halfway decent leader could get his people there is an couple of weeks. Hell with the aid of GPS and a well maintained Mercedes I would probably drive it in 12 hours.

    How about a protector of Loved Ones: Please don’t everyone guffaw at once. When he wasn’t getting his own kid nailed to a tree, he was drowning all but eight people, or burying whole towns in fire and brimstone. And he sure hasn’t done a lot for his chosen people, when you consider the
    Babalonian captivity, Roman Occupation, Spanish Inquisition and the Holocost.

    Finally, How emotionall normal is he? Well what kind of drama queen tells his best friend that he needs to kill his kid to stay friends with him, and then relents because he was “just testing”.

    In short, your god is an evolutionary maladaption, and to the extent you follow the reporducive strategy mandated by Judeo-Christainity, you insure that humankind will produce loser beta kids. That why we need to win the “dick fight” with Yaweh.

    Actually, I don’t blame you for getting upset at what you read here, considering your stated position on Christianity. But the thing is, this whole movement was inspired by and is still fueled primarily by the religious wackos who are trying to push their insipid, hateful, and dangerous version of Christianity on everyone else. That said, many people here, but not all, are non-religious, and they don’t feel compelled to cut any religion any slack. They are all variations on a theme, after all, and not a very nice theme, even if good things can be found in some of them.
    .
    One more thing. Being a religious person you are probably more inclined to “believe” and take things at face value than to question the validity or original intent of statements such as “God is love” and “My God has bigger balls than your God.” Otherwise, you would have seen what people here were really saying in all that “bigger balls” stuff, and what people in your circle are actually saying when they say “God is love.”

    The Christian god does not look like a human? He just takes a human form so we can comprehend him or something? What about the whole creating man in his own image thing? Surely some amorphous blob god created man in his infinite boredom, and then made him the central, most important part of the physical world. If you don’t think that humans are intended by God to be the center of the universe (after the jealous God of course), then you don’t belong in any Abrahamic faiths. Also if he’s an amorphous blob, I think he could be a spaghetti monster.

    “I…form my own opinion of what the representatives of God are trying to tell us”

    Yes, pretty common amongst the modern religious (although many don’t admit it). Some of us cut out the middle man and form opinions without paying heed to superstitious, sanctimonious holy men. I believe the golden rule is a no-brainer in every culture, whether religion tells them about it or not.

But never, not one time, has a Pastafarian leader been accused, let alone convicted of fucking their followers. Pastafarians are the most honest, decent and most accepting human beings on this planet. Pastafarians fuck no one except those to whom they are lovingly committed. And they always finish last! Please have as much respect for Pastafarians as they have for you.
    Yours in loving fucking

    Mademoiselle/Madame,

    You seem to be an intelligent individual, therefore I am writing this as a letter. The fact that you found the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s appearance as we interpret it to be disturbing is exactly what we were going for. This church, this parody religion exists to make people question their beliefs, and as all satirists know, the best way to make people think about what they believe, and question what they are raised to think is to provide a hyperbole. The people most hard-wired to believe what they have been taught will look upon the FSM and scoff without any other thought, but someone with the potential for an open mind will see this outlandish example of extremity, and stop to think about it. God, being omnipresent, could if it so chose, be a Flying Spaghetti Monster. The visage of the FSM causes people with the potential for open-mindedness to question the anthropocentrism of a humanoid God. If you don’t believe that God is a Flying Spaghetti Monster, that’s fine, you are entitled to your belief, however, we respectfully ask that you do the same for ours. The disconnect that usually occurs, is that Christians, primarily used because they are the ones that write hate mail, and reside in the countries that provide hits to the site, want us to respect their belief that God, a giant, omnipotent, omnipresent, human controls everything that happens in the world, but they refuse to respect the fact that a giant, omnipotent, omnipresent, Flying Spaghetti Monster influences our lives. The FSM exists to expose the hypocrisy in religious Dogma.

    I don’t exactly know what you are referring to with the quote “…mostly fundamentalist Christians, who have accepted that our God has larger balls than theirs”, but the concept of our God has bigger balls comes primarily from George Carlin speaking about the disconnect between religions doctrine and dogma. There is no religious doctrine that states that it is okay to kill people, however, in the religious dogma, not only is it okay to kill people of other faiths, it is encouraged, or at least, it has been in the past, and probably still is in some places. Your ability to see past your religious dogma, is not an ability shared by many of your peers in your religion. They are, or at least seem to be, asleep at the wheel, and they need something highly offensive to wake them up to the flaws right before their eyes.

    Sincerely yours,

    Pluveus

    This religion is quite obviously satirical, designed not as a theory about the creation of the universe or the idea of a religious deity, but instead a carefully designed argument against the eroding ideals of Intelligent Design. I am shocked by the number of people who leave hate mail on this website, stating that we are idiotic for believing in a wad of pasta. It is ridiculous that people can actually think that we believe in the FSM.

    If it weren’t for so many uptight religious nuts in the world (Note, I said “religious nuts” not Holy Rollers or Jesus Freaks) then this world would be a better place. And they are present in all religions.

    When more people have been slaughtered in the name of “god” than in EVERY SINGLE TERRITORIAL DISPUTE IN THE WORLD COMBINED, there is a problem. If you want to practice your religion, or even better yet, practice your FAITH, then I have no problem with that. When you start trying to inject your religion into a nations politics and medical practice, then I take very personal exception to that. Religions have been dictating what is “good” for the common man for nearly as long as the human race has been around, whether it be the worship of the elements, the weather patterns, or just some superfluous entity.

    Yes, we call him The Great Ragu, but there is JUST as much proof that a Noodly Entity such as the FSM exists than any other deity in recorded history. The only difference is the number of human beings that have been sacrificed to prove it.

    Please note that these are the thoughts and opinions of me, myself, and I and no one should take these words to stand for the beliefs of anyone other than those I have stated above. Any inference that my statement means anything more than what I have said indicates that you have pasta for brains and should seek medical attention immediately.

    .
    Wow….Anyways…
    .
    In fact, there’s nothing wrong with the moral “Love one another and love yourself”. We found that quite true. That has nothing, unfortunately, to do with our cause. The Kansas letter obviously states that the main reason why we don’t want Intelligent Design taught as science is that it’s not scientific! There’s nothing observable about God or the Creator, so how can one possibly allow that to be taught as science, a field of observable and detectable?
    .
    In fact, for all that science cares about, Intelligent Design is just as baseless as Thursdayism (everything is destroyed on Wednesday, and re-created on Thursday).
    .
    We KNOW this FSM God is a joke, but just as you’ve stated, we’ll never know if this god is actually human in form or not (although if it’s not physical, we can’t make any predictions). According to science, though, our theory of Intelligent Design is just as good (and bad) as Christians Intelligent Design. If you can see this perspective, you will see why we concede Intelligent Design should not be taught in any science class.
    .
    We have many Christian supporters who already sees this silliness and seriousness of this issue. You already see the silliness of this; it’s time you see the serious part of the view.

    Andrea,
    .
    Just because our FSM doesn’t cut it for you is no reason to attack our religion. Besides, based on what you wrote, you may be close to a conversion. Our beloved Flying Spaghetti Monster would welcome you with open Appendages and you would be bathed in the warmth of His Sauce.
    .
    You admitted that your religion is flawed and that you extracted, “Love one another and love yourself”. The rest is an elaboration of that statement.” This is a nice message that all can agree with. Unfortunately, there is more to Christian practice than that. It is good that you have distanced yourself from the other aspects of your religion. You are only a few steps away from enlightenment. I urge you to give genuine consideration to “The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.”
    .
    Once you receive the wisdom contained in our Holy Scripture, especially the Eight I’d Really Rather You Didnt’s, you will understand what we do, that religion can be worn lightly, that it doesn’t require you to live your life in fear of “Hell” and that you can accept or reject doctrine (or even the very existence of the FSM) without guilt.
    .
    Open your mind. Join us and be touched by His Noodly Appendage.
    .
    RAmen
    .
    PS Besides, we have a “no risk” guarantee. If it doesn’t work out after the 30 day trial, you can leave with no hard feelings. Your god will probably take you back.

    Andrea, no one believes in the spaghetti monster, the site is a parody. Im glad you see beyond christianity and all its flaws. Im so happy for you. Now take the final step, see beyond religion itself. You already understand that you can be happy and have morals without christianity and a dogmatic god, so search yourself and ask yourself why you keep believing in god at all. Take the final step and become an atheist. Join me on the darkside.

    I find that science works really well for me when I’m trying to understand things beyond my immediate comprehension. I also try meditating on philosophy, thinking about morality and ethics, and talking with people about what we all think. I find that this constructive approach to learning has really worked to open my mind and has helped me understand the intangible universe. What’s god got to do with it?

    Andrea, do you know what a satire is? If you are so wise and can “I see beyond that and I see beyond the bible and beyond all the preaching”, then why can’t you see through a bunch of silly jibs at the Christian and/or Religious community trying to put Intelligent Design in our classrooms.
    .
    Oh and about your religiou. Whats all this bullshit about “forming your own opinion” about god and yet you still say you are a christian. You say you see through all the bullshit? No, you just dont have the meat balls to up and say, “Yeah, I believe in some crazy shit, so what?” You realize the Christian religion makes very little acutal sence. So you make up your own shit to justify religion. Wake up, its all a sham.

    Andrea,
    I’m glad to see someone is actually posting in the hate-mail who is not completely bashing fsm and has gone ahead and thought about what they were going to say before posting. However. “Love one another and love yourself” is an awesome quote symbolizing what should definitely be. It’s sad to think about how people in the dark past of christianity have totaly blew by this simple idea. I don’t think I have to go into the crusades or the inquisition but clearly love was not in the air at that present time as much as decaying flesh was. Similarly, i find it ironic that everyone says christians love everyone when they have sexism in their own church. They don’t even let the nuns teach what they have devoted their life to as they let the priests. Strange eh? I am not bashing christianity seeing as the ‘good book’ has many good moral stories in it… but i think you are seriously overlooking fsm as a whole, and letting his noodley appendages take away from what he actually stands for. And if you cannot take this joke for what it is… a joke… “…mostly fundamentalist Christians, who have accepted that our God has larger balls than theirs”, then i don’t know what else to say to you.

    Sounds to me like you aren’t really a Christian. I mean, after all, a true Christian takes the Bible as the ultimate unblemished word of God, right? I think alot of fundamentalists would condemn you for using free thought, yet you would still be associated, and maybe even advocate, the irrationalities of the fundamentalist movement. Try to take the next step and let go of your religous conceptions. Because honestly, while the FSM is outrageously unbelievable (and purposefully so), in its coneptual framework it is not very different from your God.

    Well, if your god has no physical form (true, since he doesn’t exist), and ours is a Flying Spaghetti Monster with meatballs (also true, because clearly he created the universe) then it follows directly that our god’s balls are, in fact, larger than your god’s balls. QED.

    Yes, your religion is flawed. That’s because the FSM is the creator of the universe. But try our religion out. As Jim Jones might have said, were he Pastafarian, drink the Kool Aid. Or marinara, if you’d rather. Check us out for 30 days. If you don’t like us, your old religion will almost certainly take you back. After all, Andrea, we agree with you. Loving self and others should be the basis of modern society, in some sense. And with the loose moral standards our Noodly Master teaches, there should be plenty of opportunities for both.

    Our God blah blah blah Yahweh blah blah blah Allah blah blah blah…. they all performed miracles and have chosen prophets and promise everlasting life and and SPEAK TO THE PEOPLE and all have different angles. Don’t you realize that the point of things like FSM is to point out the lack of foresight or the ability of common Christians to question their faith?

    This is based on some idiot arguing to teach Intelligent Design next to Evolution. One is quantifiable and one has no basis other than some intangible concept known as faith. The point of FSM is that if you have no basis for your argument other than I JUST BELIEVE and THE BIBLE SAYS… or the Qu ran says… or the Torah says… or the GOOD NEWS says… then you cannot teach that in a scientific course! If Darwin wrote a book and said well here is my opinion (which he did) and all of a sudden it got a following of those who believed it without questioning it and testing his hypothesis (which was not accurate since he had no concept of genetic material or random mutations) then intelligent design and the Theory of Evolution could be taught side by side. If you want to understand what FSM is about look in a mirror because you are ranting just like the rest of the crazy Christians.

    If you can believe that God created all things on Earth, then I can believe FSM created all things on earth.

Granted it’s screwed up but you are smart enough to know that he really loves you. As for your interpitation of God’s form, I have no problem with people who believe the bible whole heartedly 100% word of god. Thats fine crazy people are consistent. What I can’t stand is when people pick and choose what parts are metaphores and what parts are literal. It can only be one or the other, either it’s the word of God or the word of Man.

    “the whole idea of having a wad of spaghetti as a god whom you all look up to, is like, sorry to say, disturbing. I know god has no physical form”
    .
    I think that a wad of spaghetti is better than no form at all, but of course, that’s only my opinion. We are not so different, our god is also invisible, all-powerfull and all-knowing (except when he is drunk); he is our creator and wants the best for us. Only he is a lot more kind than yours. He doesn’t kills anyone. So I hope that you will be touched by His Noddly appendage and you will see the light of knowledge
    .
    “I don’t believe our God is in a human form. Our God got his “human” form because it was much simpler to preach to people”
    So you can’t deny that your god is our god and His form is that of a wad of spaghetti, can you?
    .
    “I see beyond that and I see beyond the bible and beyond all the preaching, and form my own opinion”
    Yeah! Of course! What are you thinking about? The Bible is the word of God! And the pope is his representant in Earth! He’s infallible! How can you “see beyond the Bible”?? Are you fool enough to think that you could explain it better than GOD?
    .
    “I got to “Love one another and love yourself”. The rest is an elaboration of that statement ”
    Really? How can be genocide and murdering “elaboration” of Love another?
    .
    Andrea, you aren’t a really christian; you are worshipping your own god, and you have your own religion, like most of christians around us. Why that religion and not another one? What do you know about God if you don’t believe what he suposeddly wrote? Why do you think there is a God if you can see all you know about him was made up (ejem, “elaborated”) by the people?
    .

    Also its funny that you, a christian, choose to quote George Carlin in this issue. Also when he said that he wasn’t really talkin about religion. Another thing, the whole Balls thing is a harmless pun, its not obscene, or should be looked down at.
    Other than that o wholly agree with you on the rest of your statements.

    No, we are not fucking kidding you. I am equally perplexed when looking at other people’s religion’s though. I find it hard to believe that people really think that if they telepathically accept a dead Jewish zombie carpenter as their master that they will be able to live forever in a gated community in the sky. But hey, I’m willing to live and let live if you are.

    “Simply said, our religion is flawed. Big time.”
    .
    But this is the word of God and if it’s flawed that would make God flawed.
    .
    “So far, I got to “Love one another and love yourself””
    .
    Then that’s better than what most of the Bible teaches you. Why not just love one another and love yourself and be done with it? There’s no need for a god to tell you this, you already know it.

    We’re forming a sect of Flying Rotini Monster followers, Andrea, maybe that representation of God would make more sense to you. In the interests of eccumenical (sp?) accord, Pastafarians of any shape should work together, but if you choose a different path to follow, you must admit we are all seeking the same goal of enlightenment.

    Seriously, this Pastafarian idea has to be right on, because there’s criticism here from people who sincerely seem offended and others who are are really apalled. I think this idea has legs. Nice work!!

    Hey, what can I say, it was a reasonably nice note compared to what some others leave here. I, personally, don’t care what you have to say about Pastafarianism, as you could care less about what I have to say about Christianity, but I respect that you are able to at least form a competent sentence. Andrea, all religions are flawed (and to an extreme degree, I might add), but so is mankind and everything that mankind spawns. Nothing is without flaw, even God. (that’s right, at least I have enough respect to capitalize it) I might not care for religion, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy it. I love the Bible, wonderful book it is, but I also love the Torah and the Vedas. I know that in the Old Testament, God is a maniacal, easily-angered, smite-machine. If you take my point of view, God is a creation of man |=| Man is flawed |=| God is flawed. However, if you choose to take the religious standpoint, you must see that God changes constantly, so however perfect he may be, he still has flaws. Let’s reverse the equation now. God creates Man |=| Man is Flawed |=| God is either, A.) flawed or B.) sociopathic.
    There is my stand on the subject.
    .
    .
    I leave you with one conundrum. “If God is so perfect, then can he make a boulder that he himself cannot lift?”

    I don’t see what’s so hard to believe. Your “God” is some invisible guy that hasn’t showed his face since Jesus was born and his miracles have been apparently lacking during this modern era. FSM on the other hand is always there for us, we can’t see it either but we’re pretty sure he’s there too. It’s the only logical explanation.

    And we know your religion is flawed, it’s religion.

    “I see beyond the bible and beyond all the preaching”
    .
    I am wondering if Andrea really is a christian as she claims, since she doesn’t believe in the bible, or what other christians say about god.
    .
    “Our God got his “human” form because it was much simpler to preach to people about our religion without having to go into detail of what is and what is not a “god” ” thinks Andrea
    .
    Actually the bible is pretty inconsistant about gods opinion on the matter, but nowhere does it suggest that God was trying to avoid getting caught up in a discussion of his fundamental nature when he urgently needs to get his point across, although this would explain why he never did the burning bush thing again as that just raises more questions.
    .
    Jacob (Genesis 32:30) claimed to have seen God face to face in human form, wrestled with him all night and lived, somehow i doubt Andrea would have believed him. Later on in the bible God tells Moses, “You cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live” (Exodus 33:20). But God did permit Moses to see his backside (Exodus 33:23). No wonder muslims don’t allow him to be depicted.
    .
    Eventually God gives up on appearing in visions and avoiding going into detail, prefering to send his son to earth in human form to go over some of the finer points of Gods message which clearly hasn’t been getting through to everyone. There also appears to have been a change of policy since the days of Moses as Jesus tells us “Blessed are the pure in heart for they will see God” (Matthew 5:8).
    .
    I sypathise with Andrea, unlike other Pastafarians I think that our supreme being is a Levitating Linguine Creature and the fundamental message of Pastafari is “Never eat anything bigger than your head”. Everything else is just elaboration.

    1. You believe in your own god
    2. You don’t care that charlatains are using your god to con people(since you’re past the bible and all that, and didn’t mention this point)
    3. If you’ve seen past all the stuff that makes up your religeon, then you’re “Displaying your own morality standards”, not anything else.

    As a fourth point, you should become a Pastafarian. You get to keep your own moral standards, and you get to put all religeous artifacts on the same level, and it would let you preach raw morality instead of one based on a deity, in addition to preaching that would reduce the false standards you’ve seen past.

    I can really see nothing wrong with a belief like this. As far as I’m concerned, the general belief of “just be nice,” if one really follows it, pretty much makes up for any ridiculousness found along the way. If the Bible lets you reach that conclusion, then by all means, read it. What bothers me is when people start trying to force their beliefs on others, which, in case you didn’t know, is what pastafarianism was formed to combat. I myself am an Atheistic Pastafarian Discordian Unitarian Universalist, but I arrived at the “just be nice” part without religious intervention.

    Its a shame really because it seems to me that you are actually quite close to breaking free from the insanity that is known as religion and seem to have an almost fully-functioning ability to use reason and logic. Why dont you take the last few steps and denounce that ridiculous “flawed religion” you affiliate yourself with? I particularly despise devoutly religious people but I also dislike people who huddle under the banner of a particular religion but actually dont really believe in it.

Another group to feel sorry for, I suppose, would be those who intentionally try not to rationalize their faith. They literally get upset if someone would ask them why they hold their beliefs. They KNOW all they need to know, and don’t want to be confused by the facts. May the parmesan of the holy FSM be sprinkled upon them. R’Amen.

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
