Missouri Church of Flying Spaghetti Monster



At first I was appalled at the presentation, but then he got to the bit about the pirates. Insane

Saint Francis Xavier College Church

Saint Francis Xavier College Church

On my way home from the Icey show the other night, I was waiting at a red light, and held my arm out the window to take this picture. It turned out rather well, except for the very top being clipped off (and the traffic signal in the way).

Right next door is St. Louis University, and the room the boy stayed in during the exorcism, which lasted for months.
