FSM Discussion

In his 36-hour lecture series titled Biology: The Science of Life for The Teaching Company (teach12.com), Professor Stephen Nowicki discusses metabolic pathways at some length. All living cells are made up of chemical compounds, and these compounds are connected by the metabolic pathways that create...

You stole a stuffed monkey from your 5-year-old daughter??? That's awful! Of course, it also sounds like an act of piracy that might qualify to slow global warming.

I consider it a great and tragic oversight that when Bobby was detailing how the FSM touched all the continents with His Noodly Appendage, he failed to mention spaghetti squash in connection with the Americas (squash being an important and nutritious New World crop worshipped by the pre-Columbian i...

Important correction: I was thinking of artichoke when I said cook it for an hour. Depending on how dry it is, it can take as little as 20 minutes to cook.

Hey, Spaghetti Squash is one of my all-time favorite vegetables!! I used to grow it in my garden, when I had a garden. ("Land-locked Sindbad, with his feet firmly rooted in the quack-grass-roofed and rusting poop deck of the north 40," - to quote the poet, Thomas McGrath.) Auntie Dee Dee h...

I don't know what any of the dishes are called, except aloo gobi. And as a vegetarian I obviously don't eat the chicken. So I like the lunch buffet: I get a variety of things, and I don't have to worry about what they're called; I just take some of everything that's not meat. Oh, yeah: I like medium...

I used a question mark in the subject line because I don't know if this is new, or if someone else has already pointed it out. This is another proof that life on earth was created by a spaghetti monster (Probably The Flying Spaghetti Monster, cuz what other is there?) I've been listening to the lect...

Well, since you are the ones who will be driving halfway across the state, I'll agree to your choice of restaurants. I am curious, though, why you prefer Taste of India. I thought the food there was not as good as Top of India. Of course, the latter is closer to me, so I've only eaten at the former ...

Excellent solution! Of course a volcano can have multiple vents. I'll be heading for the non-alcoholic-beer vents myself. I love the taste of beer but really don't like what alcohol does to my brain.

I have to agree with Mero as well. It always struck me as strange that there are only ever (at least in my experience) two options in the "sex" part of an application. How hard would it be to include at least an "other" option? I think the issue is one of privacy: In a highly bi...

Alex said it's completely random. So try it again. Or better yet, pick the name you like. Don't be a slave to some silly joke page on the internet! But I can't really use my mother's maiden name, because it's a popular security question. :-D Excellent point. But you can still pick an Italian name. ...

I'm not afraid. I was just concerned. Once I get there I presume the body language of the people in front of me at the beer volcano will tell me if the beer is scalding or cold. But I'm hoping that time will be far in the future, and in the mean time I wanted a clarification. After all, there are so...

Esta De Luca Esta? What kind of a name is Esta? I want to be a Maddelina. With a Lucia in there somewhere. And I'd pick a good Sicilian surame, like the one my mother had. Alex said it's completely random. So try it again. Or better yet, pick the name you like. Don't be a slave to some silly joke p...

The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is explicit on this point:

Dr. Otis Lansa wrote:Love who you want to love, and be tolerant of other's choices of partners (provided both/all are consenting adults). All genders and sexualities included.

I think we're allowed each our own interpretation. While I respect Auntie Dee Dee's view that the noodles are metaphorical, my own reading of the Gospel of FSM convinces me that the spaghetti is literal, although when we eat spaghetti we're not eating god, because He is different spaghetti. Just as ...
