The picture cracked me up!
The Hell?
Granted, I am a devout follower of the FSM, but I am seriously wondering how his image got there. It doesn’t appear to be something ther bacteria did, but an after image created by whoever took the picture.
Regardless, it’s awesome. Awesome to the max.
He touched the petri dish with His Noodly Appendage.
I want to believe!
That’s too good. Sadly, it’s probably too good to be true, but frickin’ awesome all the same. 
Actually, I believe the FSM is actually the bacteria itself; this is a real picture.
See, the article is about using bacteria instead of photographic film… expose the bacteria to light, and it turns dark.
So project an image of the FSM onto the bacteria, let it grow a few generations, and the image is ‘etched’ into the medium by pigmented bacteria.
I wonder what the diamter of a bacteria is, in comparison to that of the pixels (or whatever they call them) in photographic film. I mean, bacteria are freakin’ tiny little things… you could potentially get some amazing resolution out of this stuff.
And it’s a simple matter to move from this to color. Even glow-in-the-dark!
Then again, it is bacteria. I can’t imagine its shelf life is very long at all. And who wants a camera full of e-coli around their neck?
And what, exactly, is an “FSM”?
I looked at the picure & see the insect-like thing with the letters FSM in it, but what’s the back-story? Enquiring minds want to know.
(And inquiring minds too.)
Ah, a potential convert.

The FSM is the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Full info can be found here.
Yea, I have been touched by his noodly appendage!
The FSM created the bacteria in his own image, and he saw the it was good. Simple as that.
Sold. I can hardly wait to start tithe-ing.
