SOUTH BRUNSWICK – Motor vehicle workers in Dayton called police on a man who insisted on wearing a pasta strainer on his head during the taking of his driver’s license photo, according to a police report.
South Brunswick police officers responded to the MVC facility on Route 130 on a call that a man renewing his driver's license refused to remove the strainer on his head, according to a police report. The incident occurred about noon on Saturday, Feb. 2.
The man, Aaron Williams, 25, who gave an Egg Harbor Township address, told motor vehicle workers the strainer was a religious head covering and he had a right to wear it in his driver’s license photo.
Williams said he practices Pastafarianism.
Pastafarianism, or the Church of the Flying Spaghettic Monster, is a movement opposing teaching in schools of intelligent design and creationism.

I’d really like to see them try to say that in front of God Himself. We’ll see what kind of jokesters they are then.

It’s “scolapasta” in the early texts, I think.

Many people in this forum just seem to be missing the point, for some reason. So, who gets to decide when a religion becomes popular enough to warrant accommodations? Obama? Yet another unelected committee? A “popular” vote?

I agree, besides, it does not seem to violate the standard Leftist mantra of “As long as it doesn’t hurt anybody”

I wonder what a tase to his pasta strainer would do. Probably send him to Pastafarian heaven with its beer volcanoes and the stripper factory.
