Touched by His noodly appendage

Flying Spaghetti Monsterism

For the unfamiliar, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a satirical deity that was invented as a challenge to the current rash of school boards considering teaching the myth of creationism alongside the science of evolution.

Like his older sibling, the Invisible Pink Unicorn (Blessed Be Her Holy Hooves), the FSM has just as much right to be taught in science classes as creationism does, seeing as there is exactly the same amount of evidence for both myths.

This entry, though, is to note that the Wikipedia entry for the FSM (linked to above) has been "protected" because it was under attack.

First, the creationists simply tried to have the entry removed. When that failed, they tried editing it to make it more suit their worldview.

See what I mean about Paulians?
