Runic Games - Flying Spaghetti Monster

[Strife412]

Just thought I'd pass this along for you folks to see. They added this item in game [Torchlight] as an easter egg. For those of you that don't know, it's a reference to "The Flying Spaghetti Monster." I dunno... Any company that can add this to their game obviously has quite a big chip on their shoulder...

Notice the "Resistance to Logic" and "Emotional Damage". I am not amused.

Update

Runic Staff commented, and let me know the background about the sword. It's the community talking about the FSM, while Runic says it's their employee.

The Sword of Adam (Sort of Adam) is our Technical Artist's easter egg item.
His name is Adam Perin.
He says weird and funny things. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3zeKpq5MX8
He has been known to 'noodle arm' when excited. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuXmB0MIEfM
He voiced the little quips that the sword says while playing.
It's all for fun.
I think much is being read into this, but if you knew Adam it would all make sense
