> We have evidence that a Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe. None of us, of course, were around to see it, but we have written accounts of it. We have several lengthy volumes explaining all details of His power. Also, you may be surprised to hear that there are over 10 million of us, and growing. We tend to be very secretive, as many people claim our beliefs are not substantiated by observable evidence. What these people don’t understand is that He built the world to make us think the earth is older than it really is.

Come one, come all! Join me in spreading the word of He and His Noodly Appendage!

haha I love it!

kind of ironic that to spread the word I resorted to spamming! 😃

no matter, as I’m sure that it’s all a part of [the Dobbsian plan to spread Slack around](http://www.subgenius.com/) where it’s most needed! Praise “Bob”!

This was one of the best WeirdEarls in a long time.

I have the “I want to believe” poster on my birthday wish list 🙂 Plus the cup that can hold coffee AND piss off Jesus **at the same time!**

I’ve passed on the Word of His Noodly Appendage to some of the scientists and researchers at Rutgers University. (If it’s any encouragement, Atkins is dead and carbs have made a full comeback around here, so you could say that the populace is prepped to welcome the good news into their hearts… or stomachs.) Maybe one of them will email an endorsement to his website…?

I was sad to see that there were only 17 Pirates left in the world as of 2000. Won’t someone thing of the peg-leg manufacturers?

I started to say I prefer not to eat my deities, but I remembered I was raised a Christian…and…we…do that.
