Microscopic Noodle Bowl

Further evidence of our Creator:

In this Dec., 2006 photomicrograph released Thursday, May 29, 2008 by The Nakao Hamaguchi Laboratory of the University of Tokyo, a ‘carbon nanotube ramen’ in a bowl with diameter measuring one-thousandth of a millimeter (one-25,000th of an inch) produced by the university’s mechanical engineering Prof. Masayuki Nakao and his students in a project aimed at developing nanotube-processing technology is shown. ‘We believe it’s the world’s smallest ramen bowl, with the smallest portion of noodles inside, though they’re not edible,’ Nakao said. The microscopic bowl was first created in December 2006, but was only revealed Thursday after it was entered for a microphotography competition this month.

Hehe, maybe it will explode or something… and now we need microscopic stripper factories/beer mountains!

I wonder if you shrank down if it could be eaten as the ultimate praise to the noodly one.

As a recent convert (2 days ago), I simply cannot deny the overwhelming observable evidence anymore. There just IS an FSM, my eyes are opened.

Well, while this is amazing, this is not one of the best things to focus on. We should be more concerned about making bigger, tastier noodles, with better, more delicious sauce.

I reread this but did not quite understand what you meant…

But I can see from the picture it’s to do with noodles. So that’s a plus.

It is a sign of Him! Let us worship the microscopic noodle bowl!

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
