New York Magazine and galleycat report that Robert Henderson, the founder of The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, received an $80,000 advance for his upcoming book The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. The tome, which will “codify Pastafarianism,” is set to come out on Valentine’s Day.
“My hope is that readers won’t know if I’m trying to make a point about pseudoscience or if I’m a complete nut,” says Henderson. “I’ll be really disappointed if it doesn’t spawn a cult.”
This news makes me very happy.
