Manicotti, rigatoni, fettucini, and thou

Bryan of Why Now? reminds us it is Holy Pasta Week, starting with the birthday of Marco Polo and including Talk Like A Pirate Day on the 19th.

Pastafarians rejoice!

I'd like to consolidate. Did pirates eat lots of pasta?

I have no clue. Isn't the eating of pasta a way to worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Do pirates worship anything but gold?

This religion is very complicated... apparently the lack of pirates is also an indication of global warming.

If the pirates don't sail, the mains don't get mixed and the pasta never comes to a boil, so it ends up as paste.

Pirates eat a lot of things that look like pasta as the voyage goes on, so it's easier just to say it's pasta and throw it into the pot.

Hmm. The saying 'shiver me timbers' came from gazing into the stew pot then....
