In the video below, a group of non-New Yorkers burst into singing and praying in unison while waiting for the subway to arrive in Times Square. Their effervescent shouts of "encore!" leave the New Yorkers in the foreground looking decidedly unenthusiastic. But assuming that they were praying for the N/Q/R to arrive, it seems their prayers were answered, so maybe we should pay a little more attention to this whole Flying Spagetti Monster thing. Perhaps there really is a higher power than the MTA involved in all of our comings and goings.
Then again, maybe they were praying for the economy, per Texas Gov. Rick Perry's advice—after all, it worked like a charm that time Perry issued an official state proclamation for "Days of Prayer for Rain in Texas."
