Flying Spaghetti Monster
The One True Monster
The Flying Spaghetti MONSTER is only called such because of his distinctly non-human form; we were not created in his image, not by a long shot.
“Let us sing praise to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, for He is a loving God. Of His might and dominion, there is no compare; of His mercy and deliciousness, there is no equal. No other god can challenge Him; in the taste test, He is invincible. Through His pasta, He has blessed us with everlasting life, and holy is His Name. For He is the Flying Spaghetti Monster: the One, True, and Most High God, creator of man and midgit, giver of pasta, giver of sauce, from age to holy age; not created He was, but ever He lives, through the glory of spaghetti, now and forever. R'Amen.”
~ Ishmali Camuwundra on the Flying Spaghetti Monster
HowTo:Make People Believe Absurdities
Absurdities: What they are and what they are not
You could probably make an average passer-by believe that Yaoundé is the capital of the Central African Republic, although it is in reality the capital of Cameroon. This is not an absurdity, it is merely incorrect disinformation. There is no fun in making people believe this, because Yaoundé could well be the capital of the Central African Republic. Thus, just claiming the opposite is not an absurdity. An absurdity is an unfounded statement that conflicts with logical thought. An absurdity cannot have any actual proof. When you advance, you may be able to come up with a series of linked absurdities and form an entire hierarchical system of absurdities (see religion).

Golden Share Acquires Monster Island Directly Adjacent To Iamgold Monster Lake Option
Monster Island is located in the heart of the new Monster Lake gold play, immediately adjacent to the east of the Monster Lake property ("Monster Lake"), the main focus of a November 2013 $17.6M option agreement between TomaGold Corporation and Iamgold Corporation. The deal with Iamgold was prompted by recent high grade gold diamond drill discoveries on zone Annie with 237.6 g/t Au over 5.7 m (2012 DDH M-12-60) and on zone 325 with 101.2 g/t Au over 4.5 m (2013 DDH M-25-11) and 42 g/t Au over 7.2 m (2013 DDH M-13-95). Iamgold is currently executing an initial diamond drilling program of at least 6,000 m on Monster Lake.
Music for a Monster
The name Ogopogo might suggest to some that it is an Indian word, but all evidence points to a modern origin. According to Mary Moon, author of Ogopogo: the Okanagan Mystery (1977), in 1924 a local named Bill Brimblecomb sang a song parodying a popular British music-hall tune at a Rotary Club luncheon in Vernon, a city in the northern Okanagan Valley. H.F. Beattie adapted the lyrics, which included the following:
I'm looking for the Ogopogo,
His mother was a mutton,
His father was a whale.
I'm going to put a little bit of salt on his tail.
Robert Columbo, in his book Mysterious Canada, notes that the Pogo Stick was a popular craze since its introduction in 1921 and this may have contributed to the name.
According to Arlene Gaal, author of Ogopogo: The True Story of the Okanagan Lake Million Dollar Monster, a Vancouver Province reporter named Ronald Kenvyn later parodied a popular British ditty and composed a song that included the following stanza:
His mother was an earwig;
His father was a whale;
A little bit of head And hardly any tail-
And Ogopogo was his name.
Thanks to these songs, the name Ogopogo stuck and the Indian name has been forgotten by all but monster buffs.
