Left behind by the original worshippers at the shrine of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Andrew: OMG! Evidence of His Noodly Appendages!!!

The pasta depicted here looks exactly like the pasta I made last Thursday, which I forgot about and was found, just in time yesterday, at the back of the refrigerator.

Whether this is proof of the evolution of noodledom or the grounds for belief in the original intent of the intelligently designed God of pasta is something only George W. Bush is qualified to decide.

JT: Yes, either in propria persona or dressed up as Harriet Miers:

"MIERS: Well that's just crazy, Fafnir. As a personal friend of the president, I know more about presidents than most people. I have to rule on the president's powers, I can call 'im up and say, "Hey, Mr. President, do you have the constitutional authority to indefinitely detain prisoners without due process?" And he'll say "You bet."

FB: Gee, I never thought about it like that! It's kinda like havin your own personal expert who isn't you.

MIERS: God knows I'm gonna need one.

FB: Waaaait a minute. Mr. President?

GEORGE BUSH: (removing wig) Okay, okay, ya got me. What was it? Was it the dress?"

I thought everybody knew that pasta was invented in China. And that Marco Polo brought the idea back to Italy, assuming that part's true.

I bet it just needs a little soy sauce, some nice veggies, and it would be delicious.

...buried during a catastrophic flood

proof that the Biblical flood really happened! take that, unbelievers!

I question the gaps in the pasta fossil record.

why, why, why, would someone twirl the lovely sweet spags and just leave it there? what is this? this behavoir, it's wackadoo.

proof that the Biblical flood really happened! take that, unbelievers!

Yeah and the dates line up pretty well too. How much more evidence do we need before we just admit the Young-Earth Creationists are right?

"I question the gaps in the pasta fossil record."

Yeah, me too. How orzo became pappardelle became ziti became ravioli, all from the primordial ooze of flour and water, is beyond me. That they teach this sort of stuff in the schools accounts for, among all the other heathen, liberal stuff in our culture, the killings at Columbine High School.

"this behavior, it's wackadoo."

Not at all, Here's what happened (I read this in a Focus on the Family pamphlet). Guy was running a Chinese restaurant bout 400,000 years ago. He made a plate of noodles, his specialty. He sprayed it with lacquer, along with the moo shu pork dish, and displayed it prominently in the front window to entice the passerbys during the lunch crush. A nearby stegosaurus turned around and accidentally destroyed his restaurant with a sweep of the tail.

Everyone ran for their lives.

Guy lost his restaurant and his shirt, and the creditors hounded him to an early grave, a death also hastened by the unfortunate confluence of the fact that he lost his health insurance at the same time his Dynasty cut Medicaid.

But who cares about him? The main thing we know is that nothing has changed since God created noodles. You can see the identical plate of lacquered noodles today in any neighborhood Chinese restaurant in your major metropolitan areas.


How orzo became pappardelle became ziti became ravioli, all from the primordial ooze of flour and water, is beyond me.

and then there's the matter of the so-called "egg-noodles", which can take the same forms as eggless pasta, but clearly represents a different gastrotype. is this evidence of convergent evolution, or of an intelligent designer who liked to try new things, depending on what raw ingredients he had available that Day ?

I'd like to see a closer analysis of the DNA of the plant-stuff involved. If it was *durum* millet, then -- Marco Polo be damned -- the Italians got in there first.

AL DENTE!

And somewhere, some very hungry person is still waiting for their takeout delivery.
