FSM Debunked?

[LoneStarHero]

Flying Spaghetti Monster touts itself on using empirical evidence to back up it's claims. Mainly that Global Average Temperature is inversely proportional to the number of pirates.

However given the recent surge in piracy off the coast of Somalia, is the empirical evidence valid?

The chart stops at 2000, but now that it is 2009 and there are a lot more pirates than 17. Does that mean that the Global Average Temperature is actually lower now than it was in 2000?

If warming has taken place in 9 years with the recent pirate spike, then I would think all of Pastafarianism is held into question.

If it's pirates and global warming that is shaky today, what will become of the afterlife with it's beer volcano and stripper factory tomorrow!?

You make a valid point which needs to be pursued further IMO.

Dude, you musta got that info from an FSM hate site.

The facts :

Somalia has the highest number of pirates, and the one of the lowest carbon footprints of anyplace on earth. It's a localized effect, so there needs to be a GLOBAL rise in pirates to lower the overall global warming quickly.

With the rise of Pastafarianism, and the associated pirates, the global temperatures have actually leveled off and are slowly starting to trend downwards.

The more people convert, the more and faster we can reduce the global temperature so that we'll have to create more greenhouse gasses to compensate for pirate related cooling effects.

RAmen!

Somali Pirates are NOT true Pastafarians. The worship a different FSM than true pirates. They don't act at all like the Fundie Pastafarian pirates of yesteryear who bravely roamed the seas and passed out candy to all the children of the world.

Dude, a pirate is a pirate. His Noodleyness doesn't care. He adjusts the world according to His plan.

He doesn't even care if they follow Him wrong or anything like that. He doesn't even find people that interesting anyway.

Look, those dudes pillage and plunder, right? Who do you think you are to judge?

Dude, I have an Italian cook book.

[Why Theory?]

Dude, I have an Italian cook book.

Yeah, yeah, everyone with an Italian cookbook is suddenly an Ordained Pirate Captain. You need to read Beard on Pasta. Just any Italian cookbook won't do.

And refer to the scriptures. The first three I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts come to mind for no particular reason:

I'd Really Rather You Didn't Act Like A Sanctimonious Holier-Than-Thou Ass When Describing My Noodly Goodness. If Some People Don't Believe In Me, That's Okay. Really, I'm Not That Vain. Besides, This Isn't About Them So Don't Change The Subject.
I'd Really Rather You Didn't Use My Existence As A Means To Oppress, Subjigate, Punish, Eviscerate, And/Or, You Know, Be Mean To Others. I Dont Require Sacrifices, And Purity Is For Drinking Water, Not People.
I'd Really Rather You Didn't Judge People For The Way They Look, Or How They Dress, Or The Way They Talk, Or, Well, Just Play Nice, Okay? Oh, And Get This Through You Thick Heads: Woman=Person, Man=Person. Samey-Samey. One is Not Better Than The Other, Unless We're Talking About Fashion And I'm Sorry, But I Gave That To Women And Some Guys Who Know The Difference Between Teal And Fuchsia.

I belong to the Alton Brown branch of Pastafa..whatever-ism. He deplores red sauce on spaghetti and says it should only be served with olive oil, parmesan cheese and garlic. That's it. Just walk away. Trust me.

The sauce debate has been going on for ages. Personally, I don't think it matters all that much as long as you get the Pasta right. All manner of sauce is good and right. After all, FSM gave us free will.

Much more important is resolving the Great Piratian/Ninjaist Divide. I don't think the Ninjaists have a case. I mean, as proof, we have an International Talk Like A Pirate day. I mean, how silly would "Talk like a Ninja" day be? Ninjas don't even make noise, let alone talk. Though there is something to be said for Ninja-Piratism or Pirate-Ninjaism (if they ever decide which one goes first).

RAmen.

It may just be a matter of adjusting your perspective. You might talk like a pirate or walk like an Egyptian (while properly Bangled), and then you may slink like a a Ninja. Or not.

Your comment about the pasta is dead on.

Funny you should mention the Bangles. When I get to Heaven, I plan on ordering a full set of the Bangles, the 1984 versions.

Hey I could eat pasta with Susanna Hoffs all day long if she'd let me! (Wink! Wink! Nudge-Nudge Know what I mean, Know what I mean, he says knowingly)

Only an Italian can be a TRUE Pastafarian.


We have allways, and will allways know more about proper sauce worship than anyone else.

Unfortunately, some uptight church lady had the thread moved, and totally trampled on my religious beliefs.

But dude, why bother with the pasta? (There's a Noodly Apendage joke in here somewhere) ;)

[GA_LP]

Dude, I have an Italian cook book.Yes, but which version and who did the translation? The first commandment should be "Thou shalt have no other Pasta before me", not "Thou shalt have no other Dough before me."

Historical revisionist! Heretic! Everyone knows the original noodle worshipers were the Chinese. That Marco Polo dude stole the recipe and brought it to the Italians, who the spread the lies about inventing pasta.

I'm sorry, but it's stale beer and strippers with STD's for you unless you repent the error of your ways.
