For my college anthropology class we were asked to give a presentation on a culture or religion that we felt strongly about. I, of course, did mine on the FSM. I made sure to dress in the formal attire as I gave my presentation. I gave out fliers and explained the fundamental concepts of heaven (as seen in the picture). All of my fliers were kept by my peers, and my professor gave me an A. Apparently Washington State University has FSM supporters in the student body and faculty…
Thanks!

Happy Talk Like A Pirate Day everybody. [I think this picture is from Bent Objects]
Recently at the Brisbane International Airport to fly out on holiday to the USA I was idly browsing the Airport touchscreen directory and thought I would share with you a curious observation. I can only conclude that the 4th symbol is the wheel of a pirate ship and that Pastafarianism is officially recognized by the Brisbane Airport Corporation.

Only a few minutes later, Zlatko sent me this picture of the FSM at Dubai International Airport:
Very interesting.
What do you guys think of something like this for the FSM voyaging church? I will tell you a few reasons it appeals to me.
It’s something we can build together.
We can start right away. We have enough money to get started and we can buy more materials as we raise more during the build process.
It’s more realistic and practical. I like 200′ Galleons as much as anyone, but I don’t see a lot of them sailing around. Pirate boats are extremely expensive to buy and maintain, and require a large trained crew to sail. If we get one, it’s going to spend much of its life being rented out to pay for itself.
Something like this is relatively cheap (hundreds of thousands vs millions), simple to sail, lots of room.
The one in the picture is ~65′, I’m not sure the upper limit on sailing catamarans.
What do you guys think? Build or buy?
