The other post is correct in saying that I-35W is part of Spaghetti Junction. However, the I-35W/MN 62 junction is a whole different interchange, the Crosstown Commons. Spaghetti Junction is the interchange of I-35W and I-94 in downtown Minneapolis. MN 55 is also a part of the SJ, but to a lesser extent. The reason for the name is from all the local streets passing over the interchange that allow access into the interchange for the freeways.
And although this one is not referred to as such, the I-94/I-35E interchange in downtown St. Paul (less than 10 miles to the east) can also be referred to as Spaghetti Junction due to the on-ramps from Wacouta/10th Sts into the I-94/35E interchange.

"Here's Spaghetti Junction."
"There's so much traffic here, think we'll see any meatballs?"
"Nope, just MEATHEADS, as in the drivers here."

Get the spaghetti junction mug.An attempt by atheists to mock anyone that disagrees with them. The basic concept is a response to the logical statement: "it is impossible to prove the non-existence of a deity or deities." Essentially, supporters of the FSM concept state that it's also impossible to prove the non-existence of something completely arbitrary and ridiculous, such as a flying spaghetti monster, and thus there's no reason to believe in the FSM just for that reason alone.
Obviously the argument is extremely weak and doesn't really hold water. But what's disturbing is the utter contempt, disrespect, and intolerance (and in some cases, hatred) these people have for anyone that disagrees with them. They refuse to go by the principles of live-and-let-live and do-unto-others. They will counter this assertion by arguing that religious people never live-and-let-live and are always forcing religion onto people. This is of course false, and only applies to a very small minority of religious people (such as the nutjobs at the WBC) and thus is a prime example of smearing people with a vastly over-generalized statement.
Most won't admit it, but they resent the fact that most modern nations allow freedom of religion for all. Ultimately, they would like to see this right taken away someday.

The flying spaghetti monster concept is just one of very many examples of the hateful mockery that some (but certainly not all) atheists direct at religious people, which has become rampant in our society in recent decades. This frightening level of contempt, intolerance, and hatred is eerily similar to the attitudes in Germany towards Jews in the decades leading up to the Holocaust. Of course, your average German citizen would never have believed you if you told them what was eventually going to happen.
