Please define Pirates.
If I used Napster and downloaded 2000 or so files, shouldn't I be considered a pirate?

You've got a lot to learn about posting creation stories. Here's a couple of tips.
- First, only one creation story per post. Have to space them out a bit, keep your audience waiting for the next one.
- Next, a little formatting helps a lot. HTML is your friend.
- Don't repeat the same creation story within a thread (I got mixed up and did that recently; I guess I need better story management).
Now go forth and post creation stories like a pro!
Haida Creation Story
Long ago no divisions existed between humans, animals and spirits. All things of the earth, sky, and, water were connected and all beings could pass freely between them. The Raven was a trickster full of supernatural power. He stole the sun from his grandfather Nasshahkeeyalhl and made the moon and stars from it. The Raven created lakes, rivers and filled the lands with trees. He divided night and day, then pulled the tides into a rhythm. He filled the streams with fresh water, scattered the eggs of salmon and trout, and placed animals in the forests. The first human was hiding in a giant clamshell and Raven released them onto the beaches and gave humans fire. Raven disappeared and took with him the power of the spirit world to communicate and connect with humans.

Let me guess ... The next stunt you guys are going to try is nailing 95 Recipes to the kitchen door.

ID hypothesizes that an irreducibly complex organ....*** BZZZZZZZTTTT!!! ***
Sorry; you don't get to introduce a term that makes your claim true by definition. Try again.

Create such an organ in an organism which did not previously possess it in a lab through a randomized process and voila! You have tested ID and found that it can be falsified.
An organism which previously does not have eyes develops a random mutation that allows it to tell the difference between light and dark. Voila! It now has eyes, and those eyes can evolve over time.
Wow, that was easy. No wonder IDers hardly ever present their hypothesis.

I think in this case we are talking about the Blackbeards of the world. ;)

Clearly, these are just supreme satirists. What they are doing is pointing out that there is no more sense to intelligent design than there is to a Flying Spaghetti Monster, Wagnon said. I thought the Flying Spaghetti Monster was designed by space aliens?
I loved the full pirate regalia comment.

Thou shalt put no other noodle before him. Ahem; it's: "Thou shalt have no main course before Him, and thou shalt not anoint thy pasta with Parmesan from a can, nor sauce from a jar."
To: Gumlegs
I beg your pardon. Followers of Rotini have had our reformation. We believe in magnets. Except of course the one color sects. Written recipes are stricty for converts and the mentally challenged.
And we denounce the terrorist aspect of the FSMers. See if they do!

To: knowledgeforfreedom
Look at the origins of FSM. Attacking a grad student? Why would anyone attach monster to their diety. Clearly a noodle of terror. And they are demanding to be taught in our schools. Have you been following the Swedish controversy? Meatballs!
There can be only one true noodle. All nonbelievers will suffer in white sauce.

You are tempting fate! The last time the wrath of Rotini was evoked a whole restaurant was covered in Angel Hair pasta. It wasn't pretty. Kind of tasty though.

I found the Flying Spaghetti Monster website a few months back thanks to the Right Thinking blog (one of several politically conservative pro-evolution blogs, a list which includes lgf and Daily Pundit. Hello media, we exist!). I'm glad to see that it's become a popular meme on FR.
On the negative side, they felt the need to point out that the pro-evolution board member is a Democrat. Are there any pro-Evolution Republicans on the Kansas school board, or does the media simply choose to ignore them?

Gentlemen, please! We're all children of the same noodle. Fighting between the gnocchics and vermicellians can only lead to the kind of destruction as we have seen in the conflict between the Big-enders and the Little-enders.
