| [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]I liked this a lot. | Quote: | | An Austrian atheist has won the right to be shown on his driving-licence photo wearing a pasta strainer as "religious headgear". |
If he's a Pastafarian, he's hardly an atheist.
| Quote: | Mr Alm said the sieve was a requirement of his religion, pastafarianism.
Later a police spokesman explained that the licence was issued because Mr Alm's face was fully visible in the photo.
"The photo was not approved on religious grounds. The only criterion for photos in driving licence applications is that the whole face must be visible," said Manfred Reinthaler, a police spokesman in Vienna. |
Tee hee... I just love it when Authority gets po-faced in the presence of goofiness.

Judging by some of the drivers on the road these days, wearing a colander on your head is positively sane! |

Since Pastafarianism is a fake religion for the sake of spoofing religion in general, it's safe to say he's actually an atheist and did this for the lulz.
May you be touched by His noodley appendage. Ramen. |

| Pastafarianism is just the work of the evil Crab, leading the faithful astray. The Invisible Pink Unicorn is the truth and the light. I know this because She has the best bumper stickers. |

| He's so serious in those photos. How did he not crack up laughing? I would.

Being that silly requires that you maintain a totally serious demeanor. Otherwise, you won't be able to pull it off. |
