	Spaghetti tree - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Spaghetti tree is a fictitious tree; a joke designed to fool those who do not know how spaghetti is produced.
		The report that it is a product grown on trees was first produced as an April Fool's Day joke by the BBC TV programme Panorama in 1957, reporting on the bumper spaghetti harvest in Ticino, Switzerland due to the mild winter and "virtual disappearance of the spaghetti weevil".
		The Spaghetti Tree myth was also used in a popular 1970s TV commercial for Delmonico spaghetti.

	Flying Spaghetti Monster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Flying Spaghetti Monster is typically depicted, as in this parody of Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam, as a clump of tangled spaghetti with two eyestalks, two meatballs, and many "noodly appendages".
		The Flying Spaghetti Monster is the subject of a religion created by Bobby Henderson in 2005 to protest the decision by the Kansas State Board of Education to require the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to biological evolution.
		Although "Flying Spaghetti Monsterism" was created as a parody religion, Pastafarians say it is a legitimate one; some argue that the FSM is no more or less fictional than any other deity.
