Flying Spaghetti Monsterism and You or "How I learned to stop worrying and love the meatball"
I came across this today:
OPEN LETTER TO KANSAS SCHOOL BOARD
I am writing you with much concern after I read of your hearing to decide whether the alternative theory of Intelligent Design to be taught along with the theory of Evolution. I think we can all agree that it is important for students to hear multiple viewpoints so they can choose for themselves the theory that makes the most sense to them. I am concerned, however, that students will only hear one theory of Intelligent Design..
Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was He who created all that we see and all that we feel. We feel strongly that the overwhelming scientific evidence pointing towards evolutionary processes is nothing but a coincidence, put in place by Him.
[...]
In conclusion, thank you for taking the time to hear our views and beliefs. I hope I was able to convey the importance of teaching this theory to your students. We will of course be able to train the teachers in this alternate theory. I am eagerly awaiting your response, and hope dearly that no legal action will need to be taken. 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.
Last sentence bolded for truth.

In other news, I'm going to start writing for Vanished soon. I don't know how to put in a live journal link, but you can start looking at progress and eventually "issues" over at the community vanished_comic. I write and foreverinaday draws. Because if I drew it, it would be stick figures.
Also, I'll finish constellationrux.com one of these days.
