I came across this at ThinkGeek, and it bears a striking resemblance to the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Although it is described as an E. Coli plush toy, I believe it is a clever attempt by ThinkGeek to promote the Flying Spaghetti Monster and spread his noodliness to the technically savvy masses. And so I submit this issue to my fellow Pastafarians for review:

Ah yes, the E. Coli plush. We've seen this one around. I theorize that it may be subtle recognition of the One True Creator by these geeks, or perhaps they are unknowing servants of His Noodliness by marketing this plush.

I flippin' love Giant Microbes. They must have used the FSM as the template for their E. coli plushie.
[...] the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though insuperable by our imagination, should not be considered as subversive of the theory.

Looks more like FSM mutating into a potato. Will the potato be FSMs next avatar? Will He pass through a "french" fries stage, to smoothen the change? To be continued...
