wwfsmd plate

Published by henderob July 17th, 2008 in General FSM news. 5 Comments

Pastafarian Shannon just received this custom license plate today. It’s the best plate one to date, in my opinion. “First in Flight” - it’s like they had Him in mind.

NIH supports FSM

I spotted the FSM on the main page of PubMed. For those non-scientists out there, this is basically an index/repository of all biological knowledge and medical research. It’s run by the National Institutes on Health (NIH).

4th of July FSM sightings

Published by henderob July 7th, 2008 in sightings and General FSM news. 18 Comments

Each 4th of July, Pastafarians capture dozens of FSM sightings on film, when He chooses to reveal Himself in the form of fireworks. Skeptics claim these photographs show nothing but lighting artifacts, but Believers know better. These photographs never look like Jesus.

Here are some of the best 4th of July sightings captured this year.

Captured by Pastafarian Amy. “True believers were able to discern his form in the guise of the fireworks display.”

Stuffed knit FSM

Published by henderob June 30th, 2008 in arts and crafts and General FSM news. 15 Comments

This amazing knitted FSM was made by Pastafarian Kathrina.

I was inspired by his Noodly Greatness to cast an image of him as a Birthday Gift for a member of your community here at the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

I searched about the closets and cupboards for fine gold with which I could create a proper tribute to his Wonder, but alas I was unable to find any.

I did, however, locate a great deal of yarn. And so I set about to form a fitting likeness.

You can find more spectacular images on Kathrina’s Flickr Set.

For those among you also skilled in the ways of yarn and small, sharp, pointy sticks, you may find directions to create your very own stuffed FSM here:

San Francisco Legion of Honor FSM Tribute

I saw this sculpture at the San Francisco Legion of Honor.
It seemed suspiciously similar to the FSM.
The artist is Chihuly, who I suspect to be a Pirate.

FSM @ Fremont Summer Solstice Parade

Published by henderob June 23rd, 2008 in sightings, General FSM news and Spread the Word. 33 Comments

The FSM, Himself, and an intrepid crew of pirates were spotted at this year’s Fremont Summer Solstice Parade in Seattle, Washington:

This amazing display was the work of the Seattle Atheists and Agnostics.

I am the gentlemen in the top photo in the red flannel shirt and crossbones bandanna. The Summer Solstice Parade is organized by Fremont Art Society. The object of the parade is to get art into the community. People all over Seattle converge on this parade and create floats, costumes, and works of art. Seattle Atheists is a non-profit organization which my wife and me are members of (www.seattleatheists.org) the organization wanted to be a part of this parade. We were going to do a theme on evolution, like the march of man. However it was decided that the Flying Spaghetti Monster would get a far better reaction. I can tell you the response was overwhelming. People literally ran out into the streets to pay homage to his Noodleyness and to get blessed by his noodley appendages. There were not any scoffers, just two people holding up signs telling the naked people in the parade to repent and turn to god. His Noodleyness had a few photos taken with naked women painted in chocolate syrup. I certainly wished at that moment that I was a flying spaghetti monster as well.

The people that got it really wanted to be a part of it and were yelling at the top of their lungs “WOOHOO! BLESS ME FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER! BLESS ME WITH YOUR NOODLEY APPENDAGES!” His Noodleyness complied with their wishes and as they bowed before the omnipotent meatball, he compassionately reached out one of his magnificent noodley appendages and bestowed a blessing upon their head. After the blessing was conducted I sprinkled dried noodles over upon their heads.

I wish I had been there to see it.

The FSM made an appearance at a protest of Scientology by Anonymous. These demonstrations are all over the place, but this one was in LA. The FSM wasn’t wearing a mask.
