Is this because of the rigorous fact checking that the writers did? The peer review it underwent? I don't knock faith or spirituality, so long as you don't use it to "prove" anything.

Now to build the FSM Museum, complete with animatronic pirates and lifelike latex noodly appendages -- donations anyone?

In visiting friends and family still in Kentucky, I've since learned that the museum location was chosen, not because the area is such a hotbed of creationism (though is has it's adherents), but because the Cincinnati Airport, located appropriately in Northern KY, is central throughout the Eastern U.S. for fundamentalist christians. I was relieved to find that mention of the museum was often met with scoffing and eyerolls by the locals.

Still, any trip back home reminds me why I left. Mark Twain once wrote that when the world comes to an end, he's going to move to Cincinnati and live for another two years. I can't help but think, if only you cross the river into Northern Kentucky, you just may live for another ten.
