Ahoy Pastafarians!
FOUND by Shannon
in Columbia, South Carolina
I found this on a table in the student union at my college. I wasn't eating pasta, but it sure made me want some. On the back is a graph showing the decilne of pirates and the increase of incliment weather. Still tasty though.

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
how can anyone with a noodle for an appendage be divine? unless the noodle in question is uncooked ... and is more like cannelloni than spaghetti ...
otherwise, it makes about as much sense as the other imaginary friends out there.
I 'found' some flyers on my office bulletin board. Should I submit them?
I guess today's theme is "Things posted in public on purpose, as opposed to things left behind or lost like every other day on Found.com"
I cry foul.
@Geek
Have to agree. Otherwise where do you draw the line? Could mail sent to you be considered a find?
I quit this church. I suspect it's some kind of cult.
Cult? More like satire.
venganza.org
@Gloria, it's not so much Found as the submitters. Although yes, the mods (or whoever) do the selection. But Found has a history of "finds" being mail "found" in people's mailboxes, pushed through door slots into the house, etc.
I guess if it's unofficial it's Found. And this is certainly all of unofficial.
Check Wikipedia (or indeed Yahoo! Answers) for more on pastafarianism. Tired satire...no laughs.
"Have you been touched by His noodly appendage?"
Ahahahahahaha!!! Is this The Cult?
Where's the graph? I want proof.
@ v in tx (yuk) called it cleanly.
You guys have never heard of this before? It's brilliant. And not just creative-- but socially important.
Taken directly from Wikipedia:
"The Flying Spaghetti Monster (also known as the FSM) is the deity of a parody religion[1] called The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and its system of beliefs, "Pastafarianism".[2] The religion was founded in 2005 by Bobby Henderson to protest the decision by the Kansas State Board of Education to require the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to biological evolution. Intelligent design implies the existence of an intelligent but not necessarily omnipotent or omniscient designer, thus some, like Henderson, argue that this designer could be anything imaginable.[citation needed]
"In an open letter sent to the education board, Henderson parodies the concept of an intelligent designer by professing belief in a supernatural creator called the Flying Spaghetti Monster which resembles spaghetti and meatballs.[3] He furthermore calls for the "Pastafarian" theory of creation to be taught in science classrooms."
I wish something like this would have been found at my college.
@girl: Of course we've heard of this. It's been around for three years.
That, and the more important fact that it was distributed publicly, makes this a lame Find.
Found guys, don't even tell me that you don't have cooler finds than this. This is sooo mainstream, and not really found.
I want the graph.
I went to church there once, and while our eyes were closed in a moment of silent prayer to Saint Pizza, I could no longer resist and popped one of the deities meatballs into my mouth!
This was followed by a rite of exorcism, which involved a lot of Parmesan cheese and garlic, plus thousands of lashes with a wet noodle.
I now worship at Olive Garden or Buca di Beppo.
the graph is on www.venganza.org
And what, exactly, is a "beer volcano"? I've had my share of warm beer, but HOT beer? I think not.
More endless unmitigated pirational self-promotion in the pirate society's never ending quest to dominate the world and cleanse the it of ninja's... People! Pirates and ninja's need to learn to co-exist...
<<ps. ninja's rule.>>
(cleanse the it - s/b cleans it)
<<pps. pirates suck>>
Hiplainsdrifter: Take a long walk off a short plank, ninja-lover ;)
Spam protection: What month comes before July? Well, all of them, really . . .
Pastafarians Protest Westboro Baptists’ Protest
http://www.cynical-c.com/?p=11615
I love it!
Westboro Baptists are the idiots who protest the funerals of servicemen killed in Iraq, because somehow or another homosexuality is their fault (or at least this is how I deduce their insane and faulty reasoning).
Go Pastafarians!
IS THIS LEGIT?!
@ @
Is what legit?
Pastafarianism is legitimate satire and Westboro Baptists are legitimately insane (and all too real).
the Church of Bob, that is.
Stop whining about the legitimacy of Finds. That's lame. If it offends your tender sensibilities, ignore the Find of the Day. Don't comment, and don't keep checking back to see if it's become any less lame in your keen judgenmental view.
At the risk of adding to the general persnicketyness, I'm not following the criticisms here re:"freshness" and legitimacy of the find.
First off, this is new to me, so I got a chuckle. Granted, it was a small chuckle, more of a groanchuckle really, but a chuckle nonetheless.
Second, finds often take a while to get here. Maybe it was fresh when found?
Third, I don't see how "I found this on a table in the student union at my college" makes this an illegitimate found. It's not like the finder hovered above the last people at the table saying, "hey, you gonna leave that? I really gotta submit something to found, got any satire in your backpack? C'mon, do a gal a solid..."
Fourth, I'm with old Bobbo there, I really don't give a rat's ass about the philosophical legitimacy of a find. I just want to see something that makes me snicker at lunch.
Finally, now look whatchya made me do, I went and participated in the debate. Dammit.
There. Cranky out.
Wow. I think this explains why I'm often a lurker, and not often a poster.
I took @'s question about legitimacy to be directed toward the Pastafarian movement (or whatever it is), not toward the find itself.
I'll go back to lurking now. Have a nice day.
I don't understand Kansas Baptists any more than I understand this.
Oh lord noodle, have mercy on me. I'll be good, pleeeeze don't send me to your kind of hell...
1. I've never seen this before.
2. It made me smile.
3. I would probably never visit a website called stuffthatwaslegitimatelyfoundaccordingto
mystrictlypuriststandardsmagazine.com
This is by far my favorite find.
I wish it was a legitimate religion because pirates and beer are fantastic, but ill gladly settle for the hilarious mocking of organized religion instead.
Whoever made this, thank you.
LOL I agree with everything Flargy just said. I have never heard of Pastafarianism before and thought this was quite funny!
debates will now be held as to whether Sept 19 is a religious or secular holiday.
Now they're just messing with us! I've never heard of this either, and think it's really funny.
Makes me think of some more lame band names:
Livin' Pasta
or
Noodly appendage
or
Stripper factory
or
Spaghetti Monster
(Yeah I know I took these straight from the poster, but I swear I've actually seen some of these bands for real!)
What's VD?
In lieu of a jesus fish, my husband has a flying spaghetti monster on his truck.
Flargy, FTW, as usual.
I have a coffee mug with this church name and picture on it. I got it as a gift and never ceases to amuse me.
dear what about bob, I WAS BEING SARCASTIC THX THO
Thanks, mlm. And thanks to urbandictionary.com for explaining to me that people aren't actually telling me to fuck the world when I say something cool.
All hail FSM!!
I FINALLY GET TO WEAR MY PIRATE CLOTHES TO CHURCH!! I am so fucking excited, I can hardly stand it!
This is the funniest find I have ever seen and my new favorite! I think it is a legitimate find because it was found on a cafeteria table, not taken from a bullitin board. People need to be less anal and just appreciate the hilarity of it all...
@Flargy: what are they saying, then?*
Also, I chuckled at you fake website.
*I am aware that it is pure laziness motivating me to ask you this rather than placing my query at urbandictionary.com (it's even on my list of awesome websites, to which I may add Flargy's fake one.).
@mouth: dammit! *your* not *you*.
this pleases me greatly...SubGenius spinoffs are the fabric of my belief quilt.
why couln't this be real....whhhhhyyy ???
FTW=For the Win
What a lame find...Pastafarianism was all over the place last year. The person who submitted this should use google more often! Jeez.
tee hee. Well I thought it was funny and I had never seen it before. So it did it for me.
(And if I had Found it I would submit it!)
@ Flargy: hear hear.
