The Flying Spaghetti Monster update

[DrZoidberg]

I recently started looking into what's happening with the Flying Spaghetti Monster. On a lark I recently bought a FSM car emblem.

A lot has happened. I recommend checking it out. It's the myths and the religious texts that is the fun stuff.

There's a whole bunch of books on it out now. Great stuff.

Bobby Henderson and Cameron Pierce are both great authors. So this is really well written stuff.

Most of it is poking fun at Intelligent Design. Which isn't really my cup of tea. I think it's so stupid that it's too easy to make fun of. The FSM idea is Unintellgent Design. Their theory is that the FSM was hung-over when creating the world.

They are poking fun at other religions too. They make fun of all of them. All idiocy found in all religion. And a lot of this critique is actually quite loving and thoughtful. It's genuinely funny stuff.

And lots and lots of pasta related puns.

They have a sacred book called the "Torahtelini". All FSM prayers end with "R'Amen". All the "Apastles" are collected in the "loose cannon". There's also a bunch of puns that only make sense to Hindi or Mandarin speakers. Which I like. It means that this has truly got a life of it's own and is a global phenomena. I love it.

The books will be great Christmas gifts. They're a hoot.

How about this dinner prayer? What's not to love?

"Hail Pasta, holiest of food
His Noodliness is of thee.
Blessed art thou among carbohydrates
And blessed is your common side-dish, bread sticks.

Holy Pasta, food for us all
Sustain us midgets
Until we eventually whither away.
R'Amen"

If the Flying Spaghetti Monster was to fight J. R. "Bob" Dobbs, who would win?

That's a hard one. FSM has noodly apendages and can fly. But also has a drinking problem. J. R. "Bob" Dobbs does have a pipe he might burn the FSM with. Come to think of it, J. R. "Bob" Dobbs' a 50'ies character so chances are he also has a drinking problem. Both are omnipotent. I have a feeling omnipotence and serious inebriation are bad combos. They're probably as dangerous to themselves as to the other.

Assuming that the winner would the one who accrues the most slack, I gotta go with the FSM. Bob is pretty loose, but not in FSM's league.
By the way Dr. Z, I think the answer is referred to in the Noodly Appendix.
