All hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster

Bobby Henderson, creator of The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, has signed with (Random House's) Villard Press to pen "The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster" (aka the Pastafarian Bible), which is due out on Valentine's Day.

In (somewhat) related news, the Vatican has come out in defense of evolution, voicing strong criticism of American Christian fundamentalists/creationists who intrepret the Bible literally at the expense of science.
