Now that’s a Pastafarian project if I ever heard one! Anyone know who’s in charge? Are they a disciple of the FSM? Could we get involved in any way (or at least the Pastafarians who live on the east coast)?
Blackbeard settled in Bath and received a governor’s pardon. Some experts believe he grew bored with land life and returned to piracy.
He was killed by volunteers from the Royal Navy in November 1718 - five months after the ship thought to be Queen Anne’s Revenge sank.
This was followed by a unusual rise in seasonal tempatures and increased hurricane activity on the Carolina coast
cape - could that be still more evidence that decrease in pirates is an increase in global temps?
The Queen Anne’s Revenge shall rise again!
I think that the site should be excivated and the nearest beach declared a pastafarian holly place, where beer and pirateness run free.
Wow - so cool! Keep us informed Bobby!
Maybe this event will enspire more people to become pirates and stave off our impending doom.
Welcome Bosun, may the the increase in the number of Pastafarians like yourself solve the great heat and drought in much of Africa.
This is just at the same time as the discovery of the bones of Jesus family. Coincidence, I think NOT !!!
Oh my FSM! I do sooo agree with jjk!! I was going to post that story but someone beat me to it.
maybe there will be proof that blackbeard was not an “evil villain” but a real pirate, a pastafarian, who gave sweets to children. isnt it horrible when your memory is tarnished.
@jjk EXACTLY!!!! it is the time of rekoning! God vs FSM. any bets? our god has PIRATES :D:D:D
@Eggy:EXACTLY!!!! it is the time of rekoning! God vs FSM. any bets? our god has PIRATES :D:D:D
And theirs has loonies! Unfortunately it would not be a fair bet. Whereas FSM exists, their god doesn’t. So it wouldn’t be much of a fight, now would it?
Yes! Just another sign that the FSM is true.
Believe and be saved to avoid eternal separation from Pasta, Beer, and Strippers.
rAmen
All Bobby has to do now is to claim the ship for the FSM Disciples. Part of the crew has already been suggested, but that’s still too confidential for the main page. OK, a hint: Wench Beth will be asked for the position of cook (her reputation in the chocolate cupcakes did that), and DPG for that in the crow’s nest. It’s a shame it’s not a galley: some people deserve a rowing position due to they pursuit of a being called god. And there was already a Pirate ready to beat the drums to keep them in tempo!
Ha Ha Ha! ECU represents on venganza once again! My university (ironically we are pirates as well) must have been truly blessed by his appendages! When I was an undergrad my archaeology field school got to check out many of the artifacts pulled from the Queen Annes Revenge site. Pretty cool stuff! Some of the artifacts are housed just a couple of miles from where I sit now. I almost went into the program that is conducting the dig, until I realized that underwater archaeology is a real bitch.
is the spagetti monster helping the excavation?
Aargh, I swear he lives still!
When they excavate that ship they’ll find ol’ blackbeard still breathin’ and then they’ll be sorry they ever disturbed the king o’ the seven seas!

“The items are being preserved and studied at a lab at East Carolina University, and eventually more will become available for the public to view”
.
In case you missed the earlier mention, this is the school that Nick the Missionary and I go to; I brought up this topic at dinner with the family tonight before I’d read the whole article (saw it as I was leaving), and Momma recognized it as something ECU was looking into.
.
Now I wanna see if I can go look at the stuff they have; at the very least I might can find someone to talk to and learn more about the situation.
.
*dances*
Hey Arthur. If you go talk to someone from maritime studies in the history dept., I’m sure they might let you check out some of the artifacts. I think there are some in brewster. I know they do some of the restoration out at one of the voice of America sites (site B I think). The rest of the artifacts are kept in Morehead City. If you act like you are thinking about switching majors to maritime studies, they’ll be more likely to let you have a look.
.
Later
@Nick
Since I AM in the process of changing majors and will already be wandering around the various science buildings to talk to folks about that, I can always use the loose moral system we have to smudge the truth a hair in an effort to get closer to the FSM.

I love this religion. ;)

Thanks for the heads up. On a random note, I think I tried adding you on Facebook (through the ecu.edu email account you mailed me from) and don’t think I ever got an acceptance; was that you or did I try adding a random, dead profile?
omgwow I can’t wait until this summer,
I’m visiting NC, and I will have to make a pirate-stop.

Sorry dude, I got no facebook account.

YES!! That is what is going to happen!! I know it!! You pegged it, Pixely — RAmen to you! But what is your opinion: do you think the FSM is for or against the excavation??
@Nick
…
Then someone has your same name. Grr…

*deletes friend request*

Thanks!
@Wench Beth
“do you think the FSM is for or against the excavation??”
I don’t think the answer to that is overly important, since we already know that if we’re about to dig up something He doesn’t want us to know, he’ll change the results of what happens. The Noodly One works in mysterious ways.

Firefox says “noodly” isn’t a real word. Time to update the dictionary on this thing…
Yeah arthur, there are at least two other people at ECU with my first and last name. One even has the same middle initial as me. Good thing I’ve got that SS# to identify myself. Whenever I deal with any university office, I just walk in and say “Hey my name is 243 21 ….”.
Ah, one of the advantages of having a fairly rare name. On the downside, I now think just about every reference to “Arthur” is one about me unless I KNOW they’re talking about the King of Camelot of DW’s big brother. The downside is everyone thinks it’s pronounced “author”.

Ok, I think I’m done hijacking the thread now; as you were…

We need to get serious about this ship of ours. We need to contact Discovery or Fox or somewhere about a show where people build reallly cool things from legendary myths or futuristic stories. We pitch the idea, then suggest the first thing the team builds is a pirate ship. It should be huge and capable of amazing speeds for sailing. It will need cannons, a poop deck, classic rigging set up, and all of that jazz. We suggest a bottom deck next to the cabins that has barrels full of grog. We come up with the idea, and get copyright over it. We sell the rights to the producers on one condition. We keep the ship once it is done. After they make a badass ship, they will build all sorts of other stuff. Imagine Mythbusters with bigger budget and no limits. Once they are done making the stuff, they give it away to people who can legally use it. This is my idea, and through it we get a ship and a cool TV show to watch.
.
PS
Mr. Henderson, if you read this, i hope you contact my email. I would gladly write up a proposal for the networks if I can man one of the cannons.
@Wench Beth
It depends, me and His Noodliness are good pals, but I’ve never really bothered to ask him about a subject like this.
I’m assuming he’ll be excited at the potential start of a museum of piracy.

Today’s lesson: You are what you worship.
Jesus was a dim-witted, speech-slurring, delusional psychopath.
But it was not without reason, for his grandfather and father raped and knocked up his 12-year old mother Mary. And Mary’s mother Mary was dumb enough to believe Mary was a virgin because she was her husband’s daughter from a previous child rape, as was Mary’s mother Mary’s mother Mary before her.
And so yes, children, those inbred genes, the string of three consecutive mothers from one father, that famous holy trinity, yes, all that incest and child rape evolved into….
….why, Kansas, of course, as well as GWB, and many of the posters you can read here.
So now you see why it is so important to think, think as hard as you can possibly think, to try to understand evolution. It is a vital part of your family values!
And remember, My children and concubines,
Jesus taves!

Hi Peter! You doing well? Snow a problem still :)
Dammit - You get the great prophet Blackbeard’s ship when he was one of ours after all. Still, his noodliness touches us with his appendage in mysterious ways and if you need some good British salt - water - in - my - veins type piracy, I’ll be glad to help.
RAmen.
I’m making an armada if anyone wants to increase the approximate number of pirates on earth to where it was 200 years ago.
RAmen to that, FSM Addict. We need as many pirates as we can get. Global warming is a real issue — one that we can directly affect in a positive way.
Maybe they’ll dicover pirate bones, with the tailbone/knife still intact!
Wouldn’t it be cool to have a huge Pastafarian presence at the official “unveiling” of Blackbeard’s ship (if they plan to have one)? Can you imagine the global publicity we’d get?! Way too much fun!
@Wench Beth
We’d convert plenty of pirate lovers.
Of course the fundies would be all over us. I really miss hate-mail.
RAmen
Hi Pixel, Beth - ya - bit slow on the hate mail! Time to evangelise again?
@Alchemist
I think we should just do everything in our power to piss of the fundies.
I still miss the good ol’ days, when fundies came to us instead of us having to go to the fundies, ah… those were simpler days.
I’m not even out of high-school why do I talk like this?

Yeah man. You speak the truth! I long for the days of arsehole fundies, or even TLM (sorry folks but he was fun!) All we’ve got is Confused Christian - who’s too damned nice to attack and Lou - the IDiot. He’s just frustrating :( nice guy, but lalalalalalallalalala :)

“I’m not even out of high-school why do I talk like this?” ahh man, you’re old before your time :) just drink booze - it wont help - but you wont care as much. Actually not true, if you do give a shit (as you do) nothing will help :P

We could always place flashing LED FSMs throughout major U.S. cities, then contact the media once homeland security shows up to blow them up. Worked for Adult Swim!

Hi Peter :) Talking to me yet?
We could all pool our money and take out a full page ad in some major newspaper (New York, Los Angeles, you know) and have it be a full-blown Pastafarian conversion tactic.

Alchemist, I know what you mean, though — I’ve come up with all kinds of illegal and destructive things to do to spread the Gospel, and I’m so annoyed that I can’t do any of them!
As I am less than a day’s pilgrimmage away, I will have to check out the recent finds myself for any signs of His Noodilyness. His appendages are everywhere.
If only I had a vessel as fine as “Queen Ann’s Revenge” to see up close. I’ll have to try that walking on water thing again.
May He forever cover you in His Sauciness.
RAmen
To Al Dente Believer… you are not alone; there are a number of pirates on this site who live in/near North Carolina. It would be awesome if you all could investigate this pirate ship (which probably belongs to us anyway due to some obscure Pastafarian legal rights). Hey, Bobby wants a ship — maybe this is the answer!
Bobby wants a *working* ship. But I guess it’s a start.
I think the FSM can perform miracles, so maybe He can resurrect this old ship and fix it up like new. Keep your fingers crossed :)
RE: Newspaper coverage
Do we really need one giant, nationally acclaimed paper to write to about getting the FSM some larger coverage? I think it’d be more in sticking to the grassroots basis of the Church of the FSM to just have lots of Pastafarians write their local papers in whatever section is applicable, or at least sneak a mention of noodly appendages in there somewhere. WAY less work, and it gives us almost the same coverage (unless there’s a television news story on the new cult that popped up in USA Today…).
.
Also, anyone know why I’m randomly unable to post? I’m wandering around to different computers at the office and it seems that I can’t post but maybe half the time… any suggestions?
@Arthur
I don’t care what we get into, just publicity in general is cool. Though I would like to make it to the Colbert Report or something.
Yeah, it does that on occasion, you just have to give it time. The internet is a strange thing.

If you guys could get on The Colbert Report, you would be my personal heroes. I’m not even joking… I am so in love with that guy… his show makes me laugh even harder than Jon Stewart’s. =)

Nick, I might need to borrow your pirate regalia if I go, seeing as I don’t think they make any in my size… I think I can do my own simulcrum though.

Hello from Costa Rica!
I would like to now if you have any idea about the stripper in the Heaven.
Is there some fan art or some Profet has been reveiled about the Strippers? How does they look like?
How many girls I will get? There is the posibility to loose the girls and beers?
Regards
You get as many strippers as you want, as long as you’re a good pastafarian of course, which isn’t too hard, same with the beer, a few of the others went through all this in a lot more detail on one of the other threads, I can’t remember which one off hand, but I’m sure someone will point you in the right direction
