While listening to Howard Stern one day a few months ago, I heard a discussion of a news story where a man had been denied the right to wear a colander on his head for his drivers license photo. At some point, there was mention of Pastafarianism and a spaghetti monster. It all seemed to warrant some additional exploration. It turns out that the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster was the brainchild of physics student Bobby Henderson and was initially part of an argument against teaching intelligent design in the Kansas public schools. My favorite discovery in doing a little reading about this movement is the philosophical argument known as Russell's teapot. According to Wikipedia, Russell's teapot is "an argument that the philosophic burden of proof lies upon those who make unfalsifiable claims, not on those who reject them." Good stuff. I've included the link to Henderson's website for the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but I found the Wikipedia article interesting, as well.
