Anybody want to win $250,000?

It's easy, all you need to do is the following (via BoingBoing):

Well, I've discussed the matter with my blog colleagues, and we would like to hereby issue a challenge to Dr. Hovind and his supporters.

We are willing to pay any individual *$250,000 if they can produce empirical evidence which proves that Jesus is not the son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

You may submit entries here, and please, no meatball attachments.

This is in regards to the Church of Pastafarianism that worships the Flying Spaghetti Monster, "initially created to protest the Kansas State School Board's decision to teach "Intelligent Design" in schools."

Some of the church's practices include:

Codes of conduct:
# Prayers are ended with the word RAmen rather than Amen.

Benefits of conversion:
# Like the great noodles they worship, Flying Spaghetti Monsterists have flimsy moral standards.
# Promise of a stripper factory and a beer volcano in Heaven.

A rival faction, based on SPAM (Spaghetti & Pulsar Activating Meatballs), has formed and is calling for a Holy War against FSM. SPAMation claims to have the One True Letter to the Kansas School Board.

The picture is what kills me:



and a slightly more upscale one:



I may just need a flying spaghetti monster icon now...Perhaps instead of Intelligent Design we could call it Tasty Design?
