Pastafarian Theology Doctoral Theses

[daftbeaker]

1. In the US a scholarly research paper submitted for a doctoral degree is a "dissertation." For a master's degree, it is a "thesis."

Fixed that for you. In the UK it is commmon for a Bachelor's degree to require a dissertation. Of course it depends on the university and the subject as well, while I was at Bristol dissertations seemed to be more common for arts subjects while science subjects seemed split between referring to it as a thesis or project.

In summary, the US does not equal the world Since this thread was started by an English person requiring a thesis for a doctoral award is entirely correct and you uppity colonial types are getting confused again. Next you'll be telling us that humour is spelled wrong

I described the Pastafarian University as "A bit like Hamburger University, but without the same academic rigour"

[Auntie Blackbeard]

In another forum (where they had the temerity to suggest that I was not really an ordained Pastafarian Minister with a Doctorate in Pastafarian Divinity), I described the Pastafarian University as "A bit like Hamburger University, but without the same academic rigour". I thought I should just check with my fellow alumni that this characterisation was OK?

Yarr , oi loikes it .

[Roland Deschain]

Although this description throws mud in the face of all the hard work and decent research we alumni have put into gaining our doctorates, i'd say that statement pretty much sums it up.

Whilst i'm here, I may as well post the last two doctorates, forged in the fires of Mount Doom, dragged non-stop over parsecs of hot, boiling lava, and deposited onto the internet (it took 2 months):-

Thank you for my award! I will add it to my resume.
I know I'm not so active in the forum/digital world, I mean I don't even update my Facebook status, so I probably won't be around much. But I appreciate you all. Thank you.

Glad to see you're still around and ok, Samantha. I hope you like your doctorate. It'll be far more useful than a real one. I mean one from somewhere else...

I feel guilty that I have yet to post a thesis up to par to that of my esteemed call leagues .
But I do intend to .
Thankfully I have flimsy moral standards and will not necessarily honor my words .
But I'm rightfully blaming Roy for taking all the good gags before I could steal them and PoN stole all the cute stuff ( marry me for a month ).

I believe it's more properly a year-and-a-day, ChowMein.

[la la]

Ooh, can I have a go at writing my Pastafarian Doctoral Thesis? I'm thinking of the honour, the prestige, and the celebratory dinner I will surely get from my friends and family that will include a nice plate of spaghetti and meatballs!

I'm considering something along the lines of: The Ubiquitous Presence and Influence of FSM-ism (pronounced eff-ess-em-ismumismism) in the World Today.

Either that or: The Saucy Religious Conversion of Buxom-Serving-Wench Mary Margaret,in Jack's Tavern, in May of 1673.

Say, does anyone have any other ideas they'd really like to see a Thesis on? Let me know

I reckon you need a catchy short title to go with that... I'm thinking "Sauce My Noodles".
