Reports the BBC:
An Austrian atheist has won the right to be shown on his driving-license photo wearing a pasta strainer as “religious headgear”. Niko Alm first applied for the licence three years ago after reading that headgear was allowed in official pictures only for confessional reasons. 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 idea came into Mr Alm’s noodle three years ago as a way of making a serious, if ironic, point. A self-confessed atheist, Mr Alm says he belongs to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, a light-hearted, US-based faith whose members call themselves pastafarians.
You have officially heard it all……..and goodnight.

I’m about to go to DMV in Coney island and change my photo with something on my head.
It is strange somehow. If each odd fellow will take pictures with something on a head, what then to turn out?
I guess he is a progressive too. Interesting, no?
Goodnight!? Get off your high horse, it’s no less valid than your religion
