Since he is spaghetti, is he from Italy? If so, does he live down the street from The Vatican or something? How come Rome is the home of all of the world's major religions.

The FSM is Chinese.

Oldest noodles unearthed in China
Late Neolithic noodles: They may settle the origin debate
The 50cm-long, yellow strands were found in a pot that had probably been buried during a catastrophic flood.
Radiocarbon dating of the material taken from the Lajia archaeological site on the Yellow River indicates the food was about 4,000 years old.
Scientists tell the journal Nature that the noodles were made using grains from millet grass - unlike modern noodles, which are made with wheat flour.
The discovery goes a long way to settling the old argument over who first created the string-like food.
Professor Houyuan Lu said: "Prior to the discovery of noodles at Lajia, the earliest written record of noodles is traced to a book written during the East Han Dynasty sometime between AD 25 and 220, although it remained a subject of debate whether the Chinese, the Italians, or the Arabs invented it first.
"Our discovery indicates that noodles were first produced in China," the researcher from the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, explained to BBC News.
The professor's team tells Nature that the ancient settlement at Lajia was hit by a sudden catastrophe.
Among the remains are skeletons thrown into various abnormal postures, suggesting the inhabitants may have been trying to flee the disaster that was enveloping them.
"Based on the geological and archaeological evidence, there was a catastrophic earthquake and immediately following the quake, the site was subject to flooding by the river," explained co-author Professor Kam-biu Liu, from Louisiana State University, US.
It was in amongst the human wreckage that scientists found an upturned earthenware bowl filled with brownish-yellow, fine clay.
When they lifted the inverted container, the noodles were found sitting proud on the cone of sediment left behind.
"It was this unique combination of factors that created a vacuum or empty space between the top of the sediment cone and the bottom of this bowl that allowed the noodles to be preserved," Professor Kam-biu Liu said.
The noodles resemble the La-Mian noodle, the team says; a traditional Chinese noodle that is made by repeatedly pulling and stretching the dough by hand.
To identify the plants from which the noodles were made, the team looked at the shape and patterning of starch grains and so-called seed-husk phytoliths in the bowl.
These were compared with modern crops. The analysis pointed to the use of foxtail millet (Setaria italica) and broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum)
"Our data demonstrate that noodles were probably initially made from species of domesticated grasses native to China. This is in sharp contrast to modern Chinese noodles or Italian pasta which are mostly made of wheat today," Professor Houyuan Lu said. |
RAmen! LOmein?

Oh wait; I just noticed this.

La mian IS ramen! Or rather, Ramen is Japanese-style la mian.
From CEdict:
| Quote: | 拉面 [拉面] <la1>□ __
pulled noodles; ramen |
Edit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamian
So ramen is an appropriate way to praise His name.

I find your question to be entirely racist. How dare you blaspheme the wholly noodliness! You should re~Penne while there's still time.

It's not the Flying Noodle Monster.
Noodles may be chinese, but Spaghetti is Italian, blasphemer.

Wrong question.
Italians are of the FSM. And are the dietary chosen ones to be divinely inspired by the FSM dish of choice.

FSM is all noodly appendages. Even though there are records dating here and there, we are not to take them literally. FSM always was and always will be omnipresent thus no race can claim him.
The sauce and spices added are what make the "race".
Long hail the wonderful pastas of the world! Slurp, slurp, sluuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrppppppppppppp!!!! |

| His Noodliness was not created by the Chinese and the Italians. He in fact created them. If anything, the Chinese committed idolatry by "inventing" noodles in His image. |

The Chinese are the chosen people of the FSM and I shall explain why. As you know gravity is only a theory and is not real; the real force that is holding things together is the force of His noodly appendages, known as Intelligent-Falling.
You may have noticed that as the population has grown people have gotten taller, this is proof of His noodlyness, for He cannot hold down everyone with as much force.
However, when you look at the Chinese you see they are quite numerous and very short. This is proof that more noodly appendages are holding them down, thus increasing their holiness.

A spiritual question of this magnitude can only be answered by a pilgrimage.
I volunteer to do so as a representative for the forum. I'll report back any recipes I learn.

He created the Italians before any one else, and blessed us with being the most awesome race to ever exist. Just read a history book, its all in there about how awesome we were. And that is sign of the FSM blessing us.
