* GravityIsOnlyATheory: Claims that "gravity" is actually the Flying Spaghetti Monster gently pushing us down with his noodly appendages. This theory is supported by the fact that people are taller now than during the stone age, and also more numerous: Clearly there is less gravity for each of us these days, and thus we grow taller.
* HeteronormativeCrusader: Very self-consciously averted in the chapter on pirates and wenches. This main text of chapter takes for granted that Pirates (the chosen people!) are male and heterosexual. However, little footnotes exclaim that women can be pirates too and that same-sex relationships are entirely okay in His eyes.

* PoesLaw: Satire? [[spoiler:Not according to the book itself, but it is said that the author himself has publicly said that it is.]] The line is blurred by the fact that so-called "Pastafarians" have attempted to take Poland to European court as a response to not allowing them status as a recognized religion. If it's satire, it's a rather long way to go for a joke. If it's real, then it's become something more that a ParodyReligion.

This book is the {{holy scripture}} of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, a faith dedicated to the worship of {{Flying Spaghetti Monster}}, or FSM for short. Re-Published in 2006. It was of course the Holy Book of Pastafarianism for much longer than that.

Within these hallowed pages, we learn the sacred truths about how global warming is caused by a decline in pirate population and how people growing taller is a side effect of overpopulation. The later link is caused by the fact that gravity is a spiritual force. The secular "theory of gravity" is "just a theory", and these "Newtonists" should not be allowed to monopolize the physics hours in school. In reality, gravity is caused by FSM gently pushing everyone down with His noodly appendages. There are more people now than in the stone ages, and thus there is less gravity left for each individual human. ''That's'' why we grow taller now.
