In the deep, something beyond belief stirs. Its bundled mass has strands poking out of it and stringy bits trailing after it. And a group of researchers decided to honor its noodle-like nature by dubbing it after an equally tendrilled hero: The flying spaghetti monster. 

You might recognize the flying spaghetti monster from the parody religion, pastafarianism. It is featured in a parody of Michelangelo's iconic painting: The Creation of Adam.
