WOW - when I zoomed in, look at the detail unmasked!!!

The Flying Spaghetti Monster was recorded in prehistoric rock art (OK, one is just a piece of toast), scrolls and on ancient pottery.

S/He became confused in Greek legends with the Kraken and with the head of Medusa (it is in fact the Flying Spaghetti Monster which Athena bears on her shield).

S/He was worshipped in King Solomon's Temple as the "Cloud upon the Sanctuary." Later S/He was the 'head' the Knights Templar are said to have venerated as Baphomet (some confusion has crept in here as 'Baphomet' is more accurately the delicious pasta sauce which drips from the God).

When the Order was dissolved, it was S/He who commanded the knights to turn to piracy, as David Hatcher Childress described in his book, Pirates & the Lost Templar Fleet: The Secret Naval War Between the Knights Templar & the Vatican. The most famous of these Templar pirates was Noodle Beard (illustrated below). This is why, in some rituals, the newly raised Master Mason is told he [or she] is now, "a brother to pirates and corsairs" (J.J. Robinson, Born in Blood, p.166).

Having betrayed these secrets, my fate is now to be boiled in salted water until al dente, drained, smothered in meatballs and Baphomet sauce, and served to the Brethren as the main course in a true Pasterfarian Eucharist.

And a right tasty repast I'm sure you'll be, Brother. Especially with freshly grated parmesian. ;D

The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster has long been aware of the inverse correlation between global warming and the number of pirates: Ergo, the world needs more pirates.
