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

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.
