2010 Census and FSM

[Reverend RA]

"His and her"? In addition to being a Pastafarian, I don't suppose you're also a follower of the Nine-Headed Cave Cow?

I included her for two reasons firstly, despite years of research I am still unable to determine the sex of pasta (any help in resolving this matter would be gratefully received) and secondly (and of far greater importance) I do not wish to be confronted by angry cutlass weilding female Pastafarians.

I'm not familiar with the Nine-Headed Cave Cow (is there any connection with the Cult of the Dead Cow?), however if you can provide me with any information I'm sure I can include it into my religious schedule. Tuesday is probably the best day for me for any additional worship (the weekend being entirely taken up by the Abrahamic faiths).

The Nine-Headed Cave Cow is almost exclusively worshiped on the message board at the end of my signature and various satellite fora. I'm not a follower. I don't believe it's as fleshed out of a religion as CoFSM or IPU, however. Cave cows inhabit the underground kingdom of Exile/Avernum, and are former surface cows sent down to and bred in the caves, presumably out of pity for the exiles.

The reason I asked is that the NHCC is referred to as Him and Her (as opposed to Him OR Her), and that was the only other place I've ever read that phrase describing one being.

Odd, because cows, by definition, are female. If they are male, they're bulls.

[Almighty Doer of Stuff]

The Nine-Headed Cave Cow is a deity and is thus not bound by mortal science.

Anyway, you'd have to ask *Spidweb username removed* for more details if you're interested. It's his religion, but honestly I don't believe he wants a deluge of emails and PMs about the NHCC, since it's really a Spiderweb Software thing, and he thinks I'm annoying enough already, so I probably shouldn't have even brought it up.

EDIT: I don't want to piss him off, so I removed his name. He's miserable enough as it is and doesn't need hordes of ornery Pastafarians harassing him.

Question - is the Nine-Headed Cave Cow any relation to the Great Cow in the Sky who provides us with our daily milk?

If He and She is, it's probably mushroom-flavored milk. But really, it's not my religion. I only asked because I thought Reverend RA might have heard of Him and Her. I'd like to stop talking about it.

Actually, cow can mean a male or female Bovine.
Most folks just assume that cow refers to the female of the species.

My official position on this statement is "No Comment".

[MantleSeeker]

Is there not a chance that between bad handwriting and lazy readers it will be interpreted as 'Rastafarian'?

This is why I am going with agnostic athiest

This is only true if you're not speaking properly.
