Book Group To Discuss Flying Spaghetti Monster - December 10

The BYBS Book Discussion Group sponsored by Sisterhood will kick off the season on Sunday, December 10, 2006 by reading and discussing the recent Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster by Bobby Henderson. Fen Taylor, retired Physics Professor from Moraine Valley Community College, will facilitate our discussion of this elaborate spoof on Intelligent Design. Scientific American Magazine said that “it’s even wackier that Jonathan Swift’s suggestion that the Irish eat their children as a way to keep them from becoming a burden..” It will offend you and tickle your “funnybone” and will give us lots of food for discussion. and Oh, yes as to food . . . .

We will begin with a spaghetti dinner at 5:30 pm. at the home of Barry and Susan Bayer, 2842 Walnut Road, Homewood, and follow with the discussion from 7 to 9 pm.
