Are pirates responsible for global warming?

250px-Touched_by_His_Noodly_Appendage.jpgWhile this may not be typical Hippyshopper fare, Fridays were always designed to be a little bit surreal, lining us up for the craziness of the forthcoming weekend. So when I read last night of an American schoolboy punished "for his spaghetti beliefs" I just had to pass it on.

The boy is a practicing Pastafarian. In addition to believing that the universe was created by the Flying Spaghetti Monster, Pastafarians regard pirates as divine beings, and claim that global warming is a direct result of the diminishing number of pirates on the seven seas. In the religion's original document founder Bobby Henderson wrote: "global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters are a direct effect of the shrinking numbers of pirates since the 1800s."

If only it were true.
