some people have way to much time on their hands
A Massachusetts woman this week won the right to wear a colander on her head in her driver’s license photo after citing religious reasons. Lindsay Miller identifies as a “Pastafarian” and member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, which some critics call a parody religion.
She tried to wear the kitchen utensil in her driver’s license photo this year but the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles denied her request. However, after intervention by the American Humanist Association’s Appignani Humanist Legal Center the RMV recently reversed its stance.

Yep, they are real...They were popular on campus where I went to college. They drove Admin up the wall.
Whether one thinks it's a sham, stupid or a disgrace: It is under: freedom of religion.

Lol, Russia is not impressed
A man’s insistence that it is his religious right to wear a colander on his head has strained his relationship with the Russian government.
Andrei Filin is the latest ‘Pastafarian’ to win the right to wear a colander for his official driver’s licence photos.
Leave it to Russia to find a creative way to lay down the law though.
The deputy chief of Moscow’s State Traffic inspectorate, Vladimir Kuzin, told Russian that Mr Filin’s victory for the satirical Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster comes with a catch.
“The next time he is stopped by the traffic police, if he doesn’t have a pasta strainer on his head, his licence will be taken from him,” Mr Kuzin said.
