I saw this banner at school the other day. The artist&#8217;s rendition of the cosmos bears a shining resemblance to His Noodliness. A coincidence? I doubt it.

<blockquote><p>Back in May in the closing days of school, the Astronomy teacher at our school, aka Johnson, had his final for his class be to paint a ceiling tile of different galaxies, constellations, or anything Astronomical. Myself, who already took the class but had Johnson for 3 other hours, decided to paint one also. But i wouldnt be painting any stars, oh no&#8230; I found it necessary to paint the Almighty FSM. </p>
<p>After starting my project, my friend Slabcock said he would help also. I diligently worked on my portrait while the other students in the school were taking their writing finals.</p>
<p>With blood, sweat, and tears, it finally came around. It was directly put on display. Everyone was in awe of His Noodleiness. Johnson loved it also, and I put it smack dab in the middle of the room. On it had one simple message&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>So for the years to come, He will be overlooking all and will be there for any inspiration.</strong></p>

<p>Very nice, Matt, you do excellent work.  Some of you will remember Matt and Slabcock from their <a href="http://www.venganza.org/2009/02/28/monster-mash/">earlier work</a>. </p>

<p>And I have used the principles of composition, of values, of line, and chromas, and I have painted pixels in his image. Blessed be the FSM for giving us the rules of composition!</p>
<p>And I arranged the masses of light and dark, and behold, they pleased His noodly Eye. Blessed be the FSM for creating contrasts in value!</p>
<p>And I cooked spaghetti for visual reference, and rendered His holy form, guided by His Noodly Appendage. And I have consumed the spaghetti, and rejuvenated by this holy communion, I placed the highlights upon his noodles. Blessed be the FSM for creating light and shadow, so that we could see our pasta!</p>
<p>And I placed colours and pirate regalia upon the army of His deciples, and behold, I spent many a day putting details in their midst. Praised be the FSM for showing us the way, for to err is human, but to Arr is Pirate.</p>

<p>What do you guys think of something like this for the FSM voyaging church?  I will tell you a few reasons it appeals to me. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s something we can build together.  </p>
<p>We can start right away.  We have enough money to get started and we can buy more materials as we raise more during the build process.  </p>
<p>It&#8217;s more realistic and practical.  I like 200&#8242; Galleons as much as anyone, but I don&#8217;t see a lot of them sailing around.  Pirate boats are extremely expensive to buy and maintain, and require a large trained crew to sail.  If we get one, it&#8217;s going to spend much of its life being rented out to pay for itself. </p>
<p>Something like this is relatively cheap (hundreds of thousands vs millions), simple to sail, lots of room.   </p>
<p>The one in the picture is ~65&#8242;, I&#8217;m not sure the upper limit on sailing catamarans. </p>
<p>What do you guys think?   Build or buy?  </p>

This figure in Japan is called &#8220;フラスパ(fura-supa)&#8221;.  
Dogū (土偶, &#8220;clay idol/figurine&#8221;) are small humanoid and animal figurines made during the late Jōmon period (14,000 BC to 400 BC) of prehistoric Japan.  This one clearly resembles the FSM.

One day i was taking a nice, long, hot bath.  I laid down to rinse out my hair and happened to stare up at the ceiling and there He was!

<p>As a deeply religious fellow Pastafarian, I feel as a divine duty to report the following wonderful miracle to you.</p>
<p>Today, exactly at 9:45AM, our Lord, the One and Almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster, appeared and floated above my workdesk for several seconds. After He touched me with His Noodly Appendage, he disappeared, but fortunately not fast enough for leaving no evidence after Him. I managed to grab my camera and take this beautiful photo just before he faded away into the heavenly skies!<br />
Please let me share this miraculous sight with the rest of the world, for the sake of spreading the divvy idea of our Great Saviour!</p>
<p>Yours sincerely,<br />
Arnold</p>
<p>P.S.: by the way, the FSM doll was made (planked) from wool by my girlfriend and it&#8217;s hanging on a fishing string &#8211; probably scaring out the shit from anyone who&#8217;s not aware of it&#8217;s existence before entering the room :)</p></blockquote>
