A miracle! The Flying Spaghetti Monster has caused his Noodly Visage to appear in a holiday pumpkin pie.

The Daily Manifesto’s Duke Ferris reports the great event was manifest Thanksgiving evening in a dessert prepared by his wife, Miranda.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster is the deity of the Pastafarian sect known, appropriately enough, as the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. It was first announced to the world in 2005 after Kansas Board of Education voted to teach intelligent design alongside evolution in state classrooms.

Adherents believe that it was the Flying Spaghetti Monster who created the universe. They seek to grant the Pastafarian theory equal access to science curriculum in the United States. The religion boasts “millions, if not thousands” of dedicated followers, many of whom dress in the sect’s clerical pirate garb.

The Flying Spaghetti Monster was the topic of a panel discussion at last week’s American Academy of Religion’s annual conference in San Diego.

Ferris hopes the reported apparition will cause people to put aside their doubt and believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
