It's not a meme.It's an actual religion. Atleast, it's an actual religion in the sense that it's a lot of made up silliness, which makes it the same as other religions.
It's to do with the Kansas School Boards, which wasted public money having an inquirery into whether Creationism should be taught in schools. Someone wrote a letter saying that if Creationism is to be taught in schools, then so should other made up bullshit be taught in schools, such as the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
It's a bit like Richard Dawkins' tea-pot-orbitting-pluto argument. If science can't disprove the existence of God, nor can it disprove (yet) the existence of a tea pot orbitting pluto and the Flying Spaghetti Monster, so both are as valid as believing in God.

I missed that Richard Dawkin's programme- he's the one who challenged all the Religious Heads to prove the existance of God and they couldn't do it or something like that - and I really wanted to watch it.

Precisely.That's why when man finally is able to send manned spacecraft to pluto, the astronauts will be able to have a nice cup of tea.

Scientists should worry about the brewing of tea on this planet firstLike, on top of Everest or maybe at the bottom of the Atlantic. Then, when Terran tea-making skills are perfected, only then should we venture into space.

In which caseunmanned spacecraft can be sent on ahead to replace the orbital teapot with an up to date model in preparation for the astronauts' arrival. The current teapot is merely a placeholder.
