One for Fiendy....

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Flying Spaghetti Monster's works spotted in space

Boffins find noodly galactic gas filaments


Astrophysicists have found that galaxies can produce tails of “filamentary structures� with a noodle-like appearance.

In a paper titled “The Flying Spaghetti Monster: Impact of magnetic fields on ram pressure stripping in disk galaxies�, researchers M. Ruszkowski, M. Bruggen, D. Lee and M.S. Shin suggest that certain combinations of gravity and magnetic fields can cause galaxies to leak long strands of gas.

That's just the kind of thing one would expect of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM), a deity revealed in 2005 which uses a “noodly appendage� to perform its works.

etc

Pastafarianism is the one true religion.

The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

combinations of gravity and magnetic fields can cause people to leave long steaks of gas, that's what my excuse always is anyway.
All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.
