Caroline pointed out this little tidbit from the New Scientist.

THE board for Beebe School District in Arkansas voted on 12 July to remove from textbooks stickers promoting an “intelligent designer” over evolution. Feedback wonders if they were influenced by an open letter to the State Board of Education in neighbouring Kansas circulated by Bobby Henderson, a “concerned citizen”.

“Let us remember that there are multiple theories of intelligent design,” is its crux. “I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster,” Henderson affirms. </cite>

Actually Caroline was pointing me at the story about Microsoft and Apple on the same page, but it was the Flying Spaghetti Monster that caught my eye.
