Well....they would say that...wouldn't they.
Who has been out and counted them???

I think they worked it out on a calculator.

It would take 5,318,008 light years to work it out on my 60 year old trusty friend. Lovely old thing that it is.

I tried to be a Pastafarian once, but my Shoggoth ate it.

I think it's safe to assume you won't come across it in your lifetime...

It has been argued that the actual figure is nearer to 258,501.

Almost certainly, for is it not written:
"And his noodly appendages are multifold and manifold and they touch all of the disparate and infinite universes"
Or maybe I imagined that,sorry

My belief system is torn between the Flying Spaghetti Monster and an infinite number of parallel Universes.

I have seen beguiling pictures of both, heard specious arguments in support of both, but have not come across conclusive evidence of either.

Surely we should teach our kids about both - or about neither.
