The Flying Spaghetti Monster is a satirical deity for the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, a parody religious organization with followers known as "Pastafarians." The being resembles a large floating mass of cylindrical pasta with two large eyestalks that carries meatballs on each side of its body. It is also one of the oldest meme on the interenet, way before PEPE and others.

In January of 2005, the Kansas Board of Education was considering making changes to its science standards. The board proposed that "intelligent design", the claim that a conscious being created the universe, be presented as an alternative explanation to evolution and that teachers should be required to state that evolution is a theory and not a fact. Bobby Henderson, a 25-year old Oregon University student at the time, noticed that the Board only specified "Intelligent Designer" and not the specific name of any one known deity. This inspired Bobby to protest the proposal by creating the fictional deity named "Flying Spaghetti Monster." In May of 2005, Henderson posted an open letter to the Kansas school board on his website[2], in which he addressed his opinion that intelligent design was no more valid than the belief that a Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe.

Because it's literally one of the most origin meme!! On June 22nd, 2005, the Internet news site BoingBoing posted an article titled "Dear Kansas: Why stop at 'Intelligent Design?' What About Spaghetti Monsters?", which featured an excerpt from Henderson's open letter. On August 19th, BoingBoing followed up with a $1 million "Intelligent Design challenge", announcing that they would pay one million dollars to anyone who could "produce empirical evidence which proves that Jesus is not the son of the Flying Spaghetti Monster." On August 29th, 2005, the New York Times published an article titled "But Is There Intelligent Spaghetti Out There?" In September that year, a Flying Spaghetti Monster flash game was developed by Plasmic Studios.
