A while back I told the OH that although the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a parody now, it will be considered a real religion within 50 years.

Certainly a lot of people are already taking it very seriously:

"although the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a parody now, it will be considered a real religion within 50 years."

Can you explain how you'd know when (or just if) the change happened?

About as well as Potter Stewart can explain hard-core pornography.

That would probably make more sense as a reply if I had any idea who Potter Stewart is.

The judge who is (in)famous for defining hardcore porn by saying "I know it when I see it."

if the average IQ is 100, some of us have got to be mighty smart to make up for the abysmal idiocy in those comments.

Some of the comments are truly infantile. And that guy who wants his name removed is 100% good entertainment.

I have lots more to say about this, but in deference to what I understand to be LiveJournal etiquette, I'm going to wander over to my own blog to yap about it.
