In doing research for my possible Flying Spaghetti Monster costume, besides Lenore and Windell’s FSM headdress, most full-body FSM costumes I’ve seen look more like pasta barf than Spaghetti Monster. If you search on Flickr, you’ll find dozens of examples. The best full-body costume I’ve seen so far is this one, sent from Dave Gray, posted in our Comments section. The meatballs under the arms are a nice touch. And for anyone who knows the FSM mythos, the pirate companion is the perfect accoutrement.

I’ve had a few scuffles in my house over the TV remote so I decided to do something about it. I built a circuit that will block my TV and any device I choose from getting a signal from the normal remote control. I turn an ordinary remote into a jammer and the remote still works normally!
