Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Finally!! Photographic proof of the existence and beneficence of my Lord and paster, the FSM! As a practicing Pastafarian, I have waited for this day all my life, or at least since I first tasted pasta fagioli.
I'm going down to Luigi's now to worship! |

Pareidolia, sez I! That's just someone in a lab coat who dressed a bit sloppily. Mistaking him/her for the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a quite human error, but skeptics must do better.

I was sitting about 5 rows down from FSM when Scott posed, I tried to get my wife to take a pic, but she didn't have her camera ready...
Edit:
Oh, and by the way, nice to finally meet you Simon.
I think you were the only Skeptic Friend I met there.
I met a few Skepticality people though, Blake (Dr. Atlantis), Kylie Sturgess (Kiless) and of course a couple of the "celebrities" like Phil Plait, George Hrab, Jeff Wagg etc.
