sunday night post #3

last year during a lecture, one of my (italian) professors made passing mention of "the flying spaghetti monster." at the time i chalked it up to his wackyness and italian-ness, but not too long ago i once again heard someone make reference to this mythical pasta being.

an image:

it turns out that a group of people have organized themselves into the "church of the flying spaghetti monster," in order to unite in worshiping this deity and his noodly appendage. a church of "pastafarians," as they occasionally refer to themselves. a church with a facebook group.

here's the wiki page. the book (on google). and evidence of the flying spaghetti monster.

  1. I think it (or at least it's popularity) is attributable to Dick Dawkins.

    I mean, why not? Sauciness is next to godliness.

  2. i definitely prefer channeling the anti-creationist sentiment through a flying blob of spaghetti. i agree with most of what dawkins says, but he comes across as such as asshole saying it.
