Proof that the Flying Spaghetti Monster is "Bible old"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4335160.stm

The remains of the world's oldest noodles have been unearthed in China. The 50cm-long, yellow strands were found in a pot that had probably been buried during a catastrophic flood.

Radiocarbon dating of the material taken from the Lajia archaeological site on the Yellow River indicates the food was about 4,000 years old.

Scientists tell the journal Nature that the noodles were made using grains from millet grass - unlike modern noodles, which are made with wheat flour.

9. That was probably an unhatched egg from the Flying Spaghetti
Monster. Actually, imagine. Someone sat and made dinner when the pyramids and stonehenge were holes in the ground and lost it in a flood. Fascinating.

11. The Signature of the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

"When we plunge through a tunnel-like pore in the nuclear membrane we emerge into the nucleus, filled with strands of DNA, and resembling "an explosion in a spaghetti factory."

(and yes we have pictures!)

16. I just love it when archaeologists delve into the pasta.
Did the FSM save the biblical Pastafarian dudes and dudettes from the flood? Inquiring minds want to know.
