Holy shit I love the internet.

Meet The Flying Spaghetti Monster



I'd heard about the Flying Spaghetti Monster before but I never realized the following he's created until just the other night. It was the link to a Wikipedia entry that got me hip to the whole thing.

By the looks of things, this is some parody religion called Flying Spaghetti Monsterism (FSM) with its followers calling themselves "Pastafarians" "preaching the word of their "noodly master" as the one true religion." and have prayers ending with the word Ramen rather than Amen.

If you are in the market for a rad religion to convert to you can look forward to many benefits in FSM.

Like the noodles they worship, Flying Spaghetti Monsterists have flimsy moral standards.

Every Friday is a religious holiday.

Promise of a stripper factory and a beer volcano in Heaven.

Now, what does all this silly non-sense mean? Well, you see the Flying Spaghetti Monster was created as a result of the Kansas board of educations decision to allow Creationism/Intelligent Design* equal time as Evolution in the classroom science lessons. It says that if teachers were to teach the theory of evolution, then in turn, it should teach other theories, such as how Christians believe how the universe came to be. A God created it all including evidence linked to evolution and it was all in His grand design for things to be the way they've become.

What FSM is saying is that if we were to allow Intelligent Design in the classroom then how many theories/what theories should be allowed/acknowledged. The whole reasoning behind their decision is to teach as much as they can about how different people believe differently about how the world came to be and let the students ultimately decide for themselves.

His noodly master has purpose.

*The theory of intelligent design says life on earth is too complex to have developed through evolution, implying that a higher power must have had a hand in creation. Nearly all scientists dismiss it as a scientific theory, and critics say it's nothing more than religion masquerading as science.

Strawberry Jam? Yes, please!

Seems J-pop idol, Ai Otsuka, is getting a little freaky in her newly released b side single that's gaining all sorts of notoriety for it's racy lyrics.

"Once in my mouth, I am addicted to the taste that spreads. Ever since, I acquired the taste of it, I can't help but continue eating it. I am about to shed my tears, but I want to put it in my mouth. I want to keep putting it in my mouth. You keep moving, ahhhh."


Says a track which, coincidently doesn't have it's lyrics printed on the album sleeve The track name is "Tsukune 70 yen" (70yen meatloaf) for those who want to hear it for themselves.

I don't know what all the commotion is over this. I've been saying this kind of stuff since I was about 2 and you don't see people up in arms around me. I feel a hit single coming on...see you on the charts Ai Otsuka, if that's your real name. And wash your face.

Japan has small things and very big things!

I saw a lot of things in Japan. Some of them were very small, like this small truck. I don't know what it was other than a small truck.



Other things are very big. Such as this traffic light. This intersection is famous for just how many accidents have occured here. Naturally the biggest light in the country being installed will solve the problem because that's exactly what has happened! Look at it in proporiton to our bodies! HUGE!

Ok, I'm back in a semi regular basis

Yes, after a long nice summer vacation of demolishion work with trogs and drinking and looking for residence and visiting friends I'm back posting some stuff on a semi regular basis. Maybe once a week. Ya, that sounds good and do-able. So expect one post on a weekly basis.

I've got a wedding supper on the burner for October and school at the end of the month with my lovely wife coming into the country at about the same time, so lots to look forward to.

Till next week!
