More Pirates!

In a paper surely to cause ripples throughout the scientific community, Bobby Henderson has demonstrated the relationship of Pirates to Global Warming.

He is writing to the Kansas State School Board, which wants to include "intelligent design" (creationism) in scientific text books.

You may be interested to know that global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of Pirates since the 1800s. For your interest, I have included a graph of the approximate number of pirates versus the average global temperature over the last 200 years. As you can see, there is a statistically significant inverse relationship between pirates and global temperature.

Read the link if you want to know how the Flying Spaghetti Monster is actually in control of the universe.

For example, a scientist may perform a carbon-dating process on an artifact. He finds that approximately 75% of the Carbon-14 has decayed by electron emission to Nitrogen-14, and infers that this artifact is approximately 10,000 years old, as the half-life of Carbon-14 appears to be 5,730 years. But what our scientist does not realize is that every time he makes a measurement, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is there changing the results with His Noodly Appendage.

The more I consider these highly scientific facts, the more I am astonished. I will be assimilating the Flying Spaghetti Monster, and the Pirate acolytes into my understanding of Gorak (see below).
