HONORABLE MENTION

Bill McGuire says he visited Stonehenge as part of his research on the theory that the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) originally appeared as the Flying Stone Monster (FSM). “This would explain how 25,000-pound rocks could be placed on top of 60,000-pound rocks with little effort. Later, His Noodliness realized the need to evolve from an igneous form to a complex carbohydrate form as the dietary needs of His subjects evolved.”
