Schildbürgerstreich der Spaghetti-Monster

[DetlefK]

3. translated by a German:

"It is the time, dear sisters and brothers, dear pirates and buccaneeresses (or buccaneerettes?), valued community: Our attorney has filed our lawsuit against the state Brandenburg for approval of our noodle-masses signs." That's what the noodle-apostles of Templin announce on their website in a "pastaral" tone.

The Pastafaris, members of a satirical-critical religious community, wanted their signs to be treated equally to those of other religious communities. For that, they are now even going to court.

End of 2014 the Spaghettis caused some furor with their wild proclamations in the Uckermarck. The local traffic-department had the signs removed at first. Later they were returned, put up again. The town finally allowed an unofficial exemption from the law and gave the the noodle-apostles (who are organized Germany-wide and give themselves well-tasting names like Brother Cannelonus al fredo and Brother Spaghettus) permission to put up their signs on the poles where signs about Templin's partner-cities are hung. But that's not enough for the "Ulknudeln", who use their gaga-religion to fight fundamentalism.



Ulknudel - "Ulk" is a very, very old german term for a (verbal) prank; an "ulk-noodle" is a german term for a person who is well-known for doing jokes/pranks (noodle->loaf->body->person)
