I've ridden the Long Prairie Trail many times, but today I noticed something for the first time. About 3/4 of a mile from the Capron end of the trail is a very old rusty tri-cycle imbedded in the fork of a tree. Look for it on the north side of the trail, a little higher than eye level. The trail slopes off on both sides so the trike is actually about 15 feet from the ground.

(Chart added 11/26 to make comment relevant.)

Hey man that spaghetti thing must be more faith based than scientific as you claim? Your global warming doctrine just doesn't hold up statistically with the current resurgence of pirates in Somalia. I would suggest you re-spin the data showing a reversal or at least a slow down of global warming coinciding with this new trend.

You are wise grasshopper, we must update the data. The chart is only current to the year 2000 CE. An updated chart may indeed show a decline in global warming.
However, let's examine the data... Possible reasons for any possible discrepancy could be... 1) The Somolian pirates are merely common thieves, not true pirates. Do they wear eye patches, have peg legs and a parrot on their shoulder? I think not. False pirates. (Aaaargh!)
2) The FSM has the ability to instantly change data to suit His Noodly needs. More information on how He does this can be found here... http://www.venganza.org/worship/guide-to-pastafarianism/
3) It's just satire. Because, as Mark Twain said, "Faith is believing what you know ain't true."
