Stuffed knit FSM
Published by henderob June 30th, 2008 in arts and crafts and General FSM news. 9 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:

I saw this sculpture at the San Francisco Legion of Honor.
It seemed suspiciously similar to the FSM.

FSM @ Fremont Summer Solstice Parade
Published by henderob June 23rd, 2008 in sightings, General FSM news and Spread the Word. 31 CommentsThe 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.

FSM Appearance @ Wickerman Burn
Published by henderob June 13th, 2008 in sightings and General FSM news. 17 CommentsI thought I would pass along some images from a recent Burn event I went to called Wickerman Burn in Artemas, PA. You know they say if you build it they will come and yes FSM did make an appearance and watched over my camp for 4 days touching everyone with His noodley appendage.

Another note:
FSM really seemed to like camping and didnt mind flying around the tent. Just felt in is own element with all the beer and stripper poles available. So many were touched by Him and He was pleased. This is one of the many extensions of the Burning Man idea that happen all over the country and it is all about radical inclusion, free expression of the self and generosity.
A few thought He should fly around the wickerman before it was set on fire…but FSM was just too busy touching many. Jesus, actually, did make an appearance in the Sound Town area but kind of incognito as he was pretty decked out in hippie wear and groovin to the tunes. He and FSM played poker well into the night several times over the weekend. They discussed having the beer volcano there for next year for sure.

That is amazing - I am glad to see that He survived the event intact and unburned.

Presidential nominee John McCain: America established as a Christian nation
Delusional, or pandering to the religious? Here are some of the claims McCain made:
On the formation of the US:
The Constitution established the United States of America as a Christian nation.
On criteria for choosing a president:
I think the #1 issue … the people should make a selection on the President of the United States is will the person carry on in the Judeo Christian tradition that has made this nation the greatest experiment in the history of mankind.
On having chosen the correct religion:
I just feel that my faith is probably of better spiritual guidance. I just feel that that’s an important part of our qualifications to lead.
On those of other faiths living in America:
We welcome the poor, the tired, the huddled masses - but when they come here, they know that they are in a nation founded on Christian principles.

Liven up your FSM meetings
Pastafarians around the world know that, every Friday, they must put on their pirate regalia, and worship the great Flying Spaghetti Monster (Blessed be the Noodly Appendage that deftly spreads the holy marinara, ramen). However, this particular Friday evening, when the grog gets passed around the congregation, it’s tepid. You need ice.
Not just any ice, though! In an attempt to please pastafarians everywhere, we’ve released the Bone Chiller skull and crossbones silicon ice-cube tray.
That’s probably the coolest ice cube tray I have ever seen, and it was very nice of ThinkGeek to think of us. Here’s the link if you’d like to purchase some trays. And another picture, below.
Microscopic Noodle Bowl

In this Dec., 2006 photomicrograph released Thursday, May 29, 2008 by The Nakao Hamaguchi Laboratory of the University of Tokyo, a ‘carbon nanotube ramen’ in a bowl with diameter measuring one-thousandth of a millimeter (one-25,000th of an inch) produced by the university’s mechanical engineering Prof. Masayuki Nakao and his students in a project aimed at developing nanotube-processing technology is shown. ‘We believe it’s the world’s smallest ramen bowl, with the smallest portion of noodles inside, though they’re not edible,’ Nakao said. The microscopic bowl was first created in December 2006, but was only revealed Thursday after it was entered for a microphotography competition this month.
