I spotted this St. Olaf Alum’s minivan in downtown Northfield on Tuesday. It had a science fish emblem on the back with a bumper sticker saying: “Evolution: Fact, Theory, Science, Testable, Predictive, Observed, Has Occurred, Is Occurring, Will Occur.”
I gotta get me a Flying Spaghetti Monster car emblem so I can find other Pastafarians in Northfield. Go Pirates!
if you find some, get me one, I will pay you back!
Nice bumper sticker, but a little too wordy to process while passing at 75 mph.
I’d like to get a new bumper sticker to replace my “W: The Torture President” sticker, but it’s very hard to boil a scientific principle down to a succinct catchphrase. “Survival of the Fittest” is catchy, but inadequate.
Maybe I should just go with that “In case of Rapture, can I have your car?” sticker.
I thought it was:
“In case of Rapture, have a Designated Sinner.”
Anthony,

Jerry,
Sin’s cheap. I’d rather have the car.
That little symbol looks much like a crab to me. Is that some Freudian slip?

Personally, I find myself drawn to the much more attractive “Invisible Pink Unicorn.” Or at least, I would be drawn to the Invisible Pink Unicorn – if I had any idea where it is.

I was at home reading my favorite web blog, pharyngula, when I got a call from my wife telling me that the back of my van is on locally grown. And there it is. I have been a strong supporter of science education since graduating from St. Olaf. Clear standards set by legitimate scientist are what should determine science curriculum, not religious theocrats. Evolve Fish is a great website for this type of merchandize.
That’s pretty funny, Jeff. And a few hours before I blogged your van, I’d added comments to the atheist discussion thread with links to Pharyngula re: the Richard Dawkins visit to MN. It’s truly wondrous how the Flying Spaghetti Monster works!
My thought is, that if there’s rapture, then ‘chosen’ people get sucked away. If the driver is sucked away, then you crash. So you should have a designated sinner driving — to save the car and perhaps yourself.
