BOSTON (AP) — A Massachusetts agency is letting a woman who belongs to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster wear a colander on her head in her driver's license photo after she cited her religious beliefs.
Lowell resident Lindsay Miller said Friday that she "absolutely loves the history and the story" of Pastafarians, whose website says has existed in secrecy for hundreds of years and entered the mainstream in 2005.
Miller says wearing the spaghetti strainer allows her to express her beliefs, like other religions are allowed to do.
A spokesman for the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles says policy does not permit head coverings or hats on license photos, but exceptions are made for religious reasons.
Lawyer Patty DeJuneas calls Pastafarianism a "secular religion that uses parody to make its point."

As long as we can see her face she can be as silly as she likes.

Actually this exact same thing had been done a few years ago by someone else - don't remember the who or where, but I know it was done, and successfully.

Long live the Pastafarians!

No, no, those are for deflecting the mind-control rays that the government (the Illuminati) are shooting down at us from the sky.

Please try to keep up!

Tin foil is also good for blocking out those psychopathy inducing messages screaming at you from your old dental fillings....

Ha! I've foiled them there - all of my teeth that had fillings have fallen out!

Unfortunately, this has resulted in a diet of creamed corn and wet cat food.

BUT on the plus side is the water saved by using a litter box.

Doesn't sound very palatable, Phil. Maybe with a little MJ . . .
