of the Pastafarians, known collectively as the Holy Mostaccioli,

'Arrrrh! Thou shalt place the Pasta directly into the boiling water,

and thou shalt anoint the water with a dab of Olive Oil to prevent the woeful transgression of Boiling Over,

and thou shalt cook until the Pasta is al dente, neither raw, nor mushy,

and thou shalt tip the contents of the sacred Vessel into the chosen Colander,

making certain to collect the holy waters in another Vessel beneath.

And thou shalt dine upon the divine Pasta according to the prescribed rites,

but the Water from the cookage, thou shalt allow to cool, and thou shalt preserve it, and use it

for anointing those who come to confess and truly repent the eating of the vile Rice-A-Roni,

and also those who hath failed to Talk Like a Pirate on the Extremely High and Mighty Holy Day of 19 September,

and yet those who hath failed to sing with proper reverence our great FSM hymn, "On Top of Spaghtetti, all covered in Cheese, I lost my true Meatball when somebody sneezed."

Thusly have I instructed to you, and thou shalt keep the holy waters of the pasta pot, and as a sign that thou wilt keep this Covenant, thou shalt cover thy head with the Colander.'

Thus spake the FSM, all honor to Her Greatness. Arrrh!
