Subject: Response from a member of the Kansas Board of Education
Thanks for your comments about the Flying Spaghetti Monster and all the supporters who have sent their support to members of the Kansas Board of Education. I am supporting the recommendations of the science committee and am currently in the minority. I think your theory is wonderful and possibly some of the majority members will be willing to support it.
Thanks again,
Janet Waugh District 1

Dear Mr. Henderson, Thanks for your message. Thanks for the laugh. Your web site is fascinating. I will add your theory to a long list of alternative theories I intend to introduce when it is appropriate. I am practicing how to do this with a straight face which is difficult since it’s such a ridiculous subject; it is also very sad that we are even having the discussion.
I will be one of the four member minority who will be voting against the flawed science standards currently being proposed by the six member majority.
Sincerely,
Sue Gamble

Dear Mr. Henderson,
In the midst of the sad circumstances of having our science standards lowered, you and your legion of fellow FSM followers have offered wonderful comic relief. Rather than the form letters which we often receive on other topics, each FSM letter has been clever and unique. I responded to several at first, but now there have just been too many. I am a member of the Kansas State Board of Education and have voted repeatedly to maintain excellent science standards. Last week was the vote to send a new draft (written by the 6 conservative members) out for external review. The four of us on the board who are moderates were in the minority on the vote. The group of science teachers and university professors who had written the original standards (before they were changed) have now asked that their names be withdrawn from the document. The new version changes the very definition of science from “seeking natural explanations” to “seeking logical explanations”. That is why I think FSMism is able to be included. It is as “logical” as any other theory.
The final vote on the standards will be in October. We will be in Lawrence, Kansas for that meeting. Those of us who are moderates on the board are trying to have the meeting in the Natural History Museum at the University of Kansas. We think that would be an appropriate setting for the occasion. We welcome you to be in attendance.
We have received thousands of emails from scientists around the world. At first, they all tried to explain good science to us. After the vote last week, however, they have resorted to calling us hillbillies and morons. And those are the nice letters!
Thank you for adding levity to this situation. You have developed quite a following. I was wondering if we could reverse the effects of global warming if we started breeding pirates.
Sincerely,
Carol Rupe
P.S. I ordered a Kansas Museum of Science t-shirt. I may just have to wear it to a board meeting.

I fully hope the the Kansas School board introduce the FSM theory to all their students as an alternative to any Christian indoctrination classes that are currently available. The theory indeed is as plausible as the Christian ID one. Ramen!

OMG. FSM has hit a tv show.
I was watching the IT Crowd and there is a picture of the FSM on the wall in their office.
If no one has seen this show, it is worth checking out very funny.
I am not sure which episode it is, but I will find out and post later.
Check out the Wiki at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_IT_Crowd

Has anyone noticed that the current period of steady global temperatures, which the naysayers suggests proves global warming is a secret conspiracy among 11,000 scientist worldwide, corresponds to a rise in the number of pirates since 2000. Researchers point to measurements around the Indian Ocean which suggest a slow down or levelling of temperatures. And that is exactly where there has been a significant increase in the number of pirates.
For an follower of intelliegnt design or creationism, that is surely more than enough evidence for proof (although usually no evidence at all is enough proof for someone with no capcaity for critical reasoning )

I’d like to introduce you to a small idea that infected me just a few moments ago when I read your very well-supported comical lyric. Let’s think of it this way (I have no dash ability on this keyboard, so here’s a colon): the last time someone was chosen to speak directly for the monotheistic ruler of the Christians, he was nailed to a couple of boards and pierced repeatedly through the torso. I believe, however, that the expulsed liquidity that emanated from this man’s body was not blood, but in fact, it was no more but the first of what we know now as Pasta Sauce. When this person finally lost all of his Sauce, he had been rendered dead.
I believe you have no Sauce, Mrs. Martin, but there is One who does carry this particular line of Sauce, a direct descendant of this particular man. His name is Bobby Henderson and he has been anointed as the sole speaker for the Flying Spaghetti Monster. You, Kathy, in a vain attempt to ride upon your green and red high horse with the pure delusions that you are the Anointed One to speak and defend directly for this dude you call “God,” have done nothing more than to place your name inside of a metaphorical bin of idiots whose entire purpose in life is to make those whose faiths and beliefs are not directed towards the one you think as the ruler of all human life and the universe for all of eternity, whenever that started.
I feel extremely terrible that I was unable to actually insult you for your fantastic ideals and your solitary (might I add, simple-minded) response to a very well-researched and thought-out letter, written with the utmost grammatical perfection and with very conclusive evidence, but I must cut this short, because I, like most other people, must poop.
Take care, my friend, and I hope you learn to become more intellectually selective and less insulting with your words. Good thing we have you around to make us all feel really smrt (<—- intentional spelling error).

I would believe you could be a pirate Bob, although you would probably be classed as a “Butt Pirate.” Never the less if you dress in pirate garb, and purchase a parrot you will nonetheless be a true pirate ARRRRR!
Love the ideas presented here by the way, kind of wandered my way here through the course of a few days after a website I go to did a special “Pirate Day” celebration, whereby many posts ended up altered to be some form of Pirate Speak.
Not going to convert, because to convert implies that I actually believed in something before, and changed my belief to something else. I prefer to just kinda try to “BE” and throw a monkey wrench into other peoples notions through asking questions I don’t care about that cause them to think and re-examine things.

I am writing to inform you of a recent discovery i have made. I have found ancient aboriginal documents here in australia relating to a daughter of the holy noodliness. They are written in ancient greek and have no idea how they ended up in Australia. This sacred bloodline was assasinated by the minion of design ” Perseus “. I cannot decipher much of the texts, but as new information reveals itself i will endeavor to keep you informed. I would really like to wait and post all my information when it has been completed but i fear i must post as much as possible, as quickly as i can, for i am being followed. I have included a description of the 2 people surveilling me in the hopes that if my quest gets cut short that someone may carry on my work. Descriptions as follows
1 male, dark hair parted to the side, always has a big cheesy smile and is wearing dark glasses very short stature. 1 time he followed me wearing nothing but socks, jocks an open t-shirt and dark glasses. I have seen him before somewhere but cant quite place it ?
1 male, medium-tall thick set, dark slick back hair smirk on his face, i think the other one called him john or johnny. When i was at the airport i saw him board a plane in a pilots uniform ?
There is a reference to snakes as noodles once revealed this will be in my next entry …

Ok, Now I like the website and I like the idea of eternal pasta bliss, but, I don’t think ID should be entirely thrown out the window. I am a Mathematician (actually did a PhD program for 3 years) and from what I have been able to figure up from the size of an atom and the number of times an electron would spin around the nucleus (I know this model is slightly outdated, but go with me for a minute) and equating that to the 4.5-4.6 billion times we have spun around the sun-which is a HUGE difference by the way(would you take .1 billion dollars)-it is not that long ago. It would take approximately 5 minutes for an electron to spin 4.5 billion times around the nucleus of an atom. So if we were somehow able to create a life form on an atom and it lasted 5 minutes, we would have considered ourselves a complete success. We almost got the atoms to collide in the CERN project and that was considered a huge breakthrough. I have in popular science where they have made black holes in labs that lasted a millionth of a second and that was great. So could you imagine if we actually created some sort of life on an electron and got it to exist for several minutes and EVOLVE into a species that adorned digital watches, youtube, and Brittany Spears. WOW–we’ve become GODS!! Of course, Simpson’s did it.

I’m a follower of the church !
Our believe MUST be told in all schools that are teaching intelligent design, this should be our #1 priority.
It must not happen that people learn about the wrong intelligent design without learning about the right one.
The flying spaghetti monster is our master, our focus needs to be right: we have to make sure everyone learns about HIM.
greets from Austria, may HE be with all of us and guide our way
