    Just added my 6th loan.
    I was gonna wait until i had enough in the payback column but damn if I didn’t just sink a lovely bottle of Rioja and then go onto Kiva. You know the rest.

    Still, it’ll be worth it in the end for the cold beer alone.;-)

    I know all the followers of the FSM are so incredibly handsome, beautiful, funny and intelligent that reaching our 100k goal will be no problem at all.

    I’m back again. Sorry to bore you all but I just love Kiva.

    I was thinking the ebay auction was a great idea.

    What’s to stop us from selling any old junk we don’t want on ebay and then putting the money straight on to Kiva under the FSM group?

    It’s a great idea.

    What you don’t want you won’t miss and as the FSM said ‘it’s easier for an idiot with a garage full of unwanted junk to get through to a mobile phone helpline than it is for a Kiva member to get to the beer volcano’.

    Now I’ve just added loan number 7 and 8.

    I really need to stop drinking.

    But the good news is my very best Friend, Nik, has agreed to start loaning too.

    He’s loaning in the name of Michael Jackson. And why not?

    All my loans are in the name of Marc Bolan. A natural Pastafarian.

    …Wait, did we get this much money, or give it away?
    Don’t we need that for our pirate ship?

    I guess these people matter more than a pirate ship. It would be cool to have one, but even cooler to be able to really help people with some spare cash!

    I just joined and made three loans. Maybe I’ll add another next month with some of next months spare cash :)

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
