Halloween Treats
For some reason, even though Michael and Laura are two of the most chill folks I know, and we spent all day eating and wandering about in the SNOW, I find myself completely exhausted. So, in lieu of writing you a post, I’m going to point you towards a little video that will give you a glimpse into the kind of events taking place in this very apartment a few scant hours ago.
If you aren’t sure what a Flying Spaghetti Monster is, or why it needs Noodly Appendages, this might help. Note to readers of faith — that page is intended less as a satire of religion than as a satire of bad science. At least, I think it is. Otherwise it’s kind of a bad satire.
(You ought to be pretty sure what ground beef is, but just in case.)

“that page is intended less as a satire of religion than as a satire of bad science”? I think I ought to be offended. However, I’m not. I love this theory. And now I understand the T-shrit I saw this week. This theory really has an answer for everything.
“But what our scientist does not realize is that every time he makes a measurement, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is there changing the results with His Noodly Appendage.”
Ahh, truth.

Why on earth should you be offended? You’re a good scientist! I guess I didn’t so much mean “bad science” as “pseudo-science.”
Anyway, I’m glad to have helped you understand a t-shirt. I hate it when a t-shirt thinks it knows more than me.

This is where us LIBRARIANS ought to rule the world. FSM, as we know it, has been a fundelement in trying to balance our collections in the creation vs evolution debate. What indeed would we do if we didn’t have some fun to break up the argument. Yes, FSM isn’t about “bad science” or “pseduo-science” or “religion,” it is about “fun.” At least in my MHO.

Also, what is the deal with this program??? As I type to the right, my typing disappears and I cannot see what I am typing. So please forgive the typos above.

Oo! Blue!!
I like flying spaghetti monster! I wonder if I’ll get blasted by the Sedition Act if I teach it in class. That said, I might anyway. The Truth (with its Noodly Appendages) Must Not Be Silenced!

Onward, bearers of the Beacon of Truth! I can ask Michael if he’d be willing to do travelling appearances for you. ;-)
