Thanks to the Kansas School Board, the idea that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster is really taking off. There's a good guide to the cult at Wikipedia. The joke, of course, is that it's arguably more rational than Intelligent Design. (See, for example, the Scientific American article, 15 Answers to Creationist Nonsense.)
Now Boing Boing has launched a $1m challenge, with the money* going to anyone who "can produce empirical evidence which proves that Jesus is not the son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster".
* "Prize to be awarded with Intelligently Designed currency; void where prohibited by logic."
Comment: Does Flying Spaghetti Monsterism have pastors?
