It is the position of the newly consecrated religion of the Flying Spaghetti Monster that there is a scientific correlation between the obvious lack of classical, sea-going pirates under sail... and global warming.
In the interests of science and enlightened Pastafarian consciousness, all proceeds from the sales of the to-be-published Gospel According to the Flying Spaghetti Monster will go toward the purchase of a pirate ship. Said ship will help to reduce global warming by its very existence. It is a perfectly rational argument, if a little... circuitous. However, you can't argue with the mathematics: there is a direct and opposite correlation between the number of buccaneers and the hotting up of the environment.
As you know, my spiritual affiliation is C of E, but I do have a great deal of affinity for other schools of thought and belief. The dear Buddhists are lovely people, for example, quite peaceful and contemplative, yet with strong aesthetic values.
The Flying Spaghetti Monsterites, or the Pastafarians as they like to call themselves, are quite a bit more anarchic, but they are quite industrious and also very crafty. I am more than willing to lend them a little support (and also purchase the Gospel, since it appears to be tastefully done).
I wonder if there will be any Flying Spaghetti Monsteries, full of monkeys and nunsense?

So little news of note lately, my dears.
But here, at last, is a tale of a modern adventurer's search for the Pirates of Panama!
