    Default Pastafar-eye

    Brilliant story in The Telegraph about a Mr Henderson, prophet of Pastafarians, who wrote to the Kansas Board of Education:

    I think we can all look forward to the time when these three theories are given equal time in our science classrooms across the country, and eventually the world; One third time for Intelligent Design, one third time for Flying Spaghetti Monsterism, and one third time for logical conjecture based on overwhelming observable evidence."

    lmfao, very good and surprising for the Telegraph.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    I always enjoy good satire, and lets be honest, this is better than most. But I can't believe the attention it has received.

    Fantastic! I'm converting to his Noodliness this second!

    Funny though, especially the picture.

    The picture was in the other thread... seems that the Telegraph is using Wiki for its sauces.
    Our genes maybe in the basement but it does not stop us chosing our point of view from the top.
