VIENNA, - An Austrian "Pastafarian" won the right to wear a pasta strainer on his head in his driving license photo after a three-year struggle.
Niko Alm, an atheist blogger who asked to have his driver's license photo taken with a colander on his head, was finally found fit to drive by a psychologist, The Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday, and was allowed to take his official picture with the strainer on his head.
"Today I was able to get my new driving license, and in it you can clearly see that I'm wearing a colander on my head to demonstrate my allegiance to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster," Alm wrote in his blog, adding "My headwear has now been recognized by the Republic of Austria."
The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster was created in 2005 by an anti-religion group opposed to the teaching of intelligent design in biology classes in the United States.

In my DL photo, I'm wearing the Phil Zimmerman RSA T-shirt that I bought back in the dark ages. It says "This shirt is classified as a munition etc...." I always wear it when getting an 'official' photo.

Dumbass? Huh?
No, it’s brilliant.
Basically, normal society can rebel against the moozies and our wicked govts, by putting nonsensical stuff on our heads at work, in dl photos, walking around town, going into a bank.
This is an awesome example for free people to fight back against a PC govt.

Good for him.

I think he's lost his noodle....
OTOH...there was this guy in Riverside, CA...back in the 90's that walked around town with a cooking pot on his head. Of course he also had a dress on, and generally combat boots. Loved that guy!!

This hurts people like me, who want to wear a scarf for reasons other than religion-—alopecia.

Love it!!
But my guy..had a pot with one handle. : ))

Better than a Muslim head rag. At least his face is visible and a colander is not the symbol of oppression and barbarism.
