A woman in Massachusetts is causing a stir on the Internet after a photograph of her wearing a colander on her head in her driverâs license photo have been circulating the web â all in the name of freedom of religion.
On Friday, Nov. 13, Lindsay Miller of Lowell, Mass., told the Associated Press that she âabsolutely loves the history and the storyâ of Pastafarians, a religious group that is otherwise known as the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
She opted to wear a strainer on her head as part of her religious observance, she added, much the same way that other religions have their own headwear of choice.
According to the Pastafarian website, the the religion has existed âin secrecy for hundreds of years,â but âcame into the mainstream just a few years ago.â
âSome claim that the church is purely a thought experiment or satire, illustrating that Intelligent Design is not science, just a pseudoscience manufactured by Christians to push Creationism into public schools,â an explainer on the site reads. âThese people are mistaken â The Church of FSM is legit, and backed by hard science. Anything that comes across as humor or satire is purely coincidental.â
A spokesperson for the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles told the AP that though head coverings and hats are not allowed in license photos, exceptions are made for religious reasons.

This opens the door for any remaining Ray Stevens "Frisbeeterians" whose rights have been violated.

If you wear glasses your license pic will have you wearing them.
Better be wearing them if stopped.
Require this ditz to have the colander with her at all times when driving and be sure she is wearing it if stopped.

That was my first thought: Do we really want this person driving among us?

I’d hit it...
With a Ford F-350 Turbo diesel, crew cab with an extended bed.

Well, I guess that’s using her noodle.

An impasta, if you will...Didn't Jethro Tull have a song about living in the pasta? (And in 5/4 time, no less.)

It occurs to me that perhaps she should consider filming a two-minute video of her and her colander, walking for ten hours through various sidewalks in Manhattan, experiencing the effects of people microaggressing her as she saunters by (
a la here).

“With a Ford F-350 Turbo diesel, crew cab with an extended bed.”
Is it a dualy, and do you have a three-horse trailer to tow with it? Now that’s a “pastafarian flattener” for sure. You could shut down the diesel and just “coast” over her.
To: Pinkbell
God is not mocked.
I would not want to be in her shoes come Judgment Day.

No, not a dualy.
Could coast over her and would be glad to drive my Ford Jubile as a follow up.
