MADISON -- A Madison man has won the right to wear a spaghetti strainer on his head in his driver's license photo.
The Department of Transportation has instructed all DMV offices to recognize colanders as religious headwear after receiving a letter from the man's lawyer.
Derek Allen says his client is a Pastafarian and was denied his religious right as a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster , first established in 2005.
"If you just hear about it in passing it sounds silly - someone wants to wear a spaghetti strainer in their driver's license," Allen says. "It's easy to brush off as something silly but I think the principal behind it is an important one."
Wisconsin is not alone. Pastafarians in other states including Utah, Texas, and Massachusetts have all been allowed to wear colanders in their ID photos.
The idiot in Texas never got his ID card. So far we have managed to stay reasonably sane here.
Intellect of a sieve...
So if a Pastafarian of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster leave the church?....
Are they an apostate or an antipasto?
Some people should be tied to an a**-kicking machine and have their hindquarters kicked for an hour. This man qualifies.
Minority viewpoint: Why *not* stick it to the DMV, an arm of government universally reviled by the American people? That is what the loony Pastafarians are doing, and it’s OK. How much different than baseball cap wearing @-holes who never take them off in restaurants, homes, churches(!), and elsewhere.
GO, NOODLEHEADS!

Lol! :)
You know what! It was Homer and Jethro! I grew up with C&W music playing all the time - my parents were into that genre (I liked the Beatles) . . . but That’s Good, That’s Bad stuck.
Oh, Homer and Jethro took on the Beatles as well...

LOL!
I would think mostly in the wearing of religious garb in driver license photos, such as muslim women refusing to remove their face veils.
