A self-styled "pastafarian", Mr Alm said he belonged to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, which lampooned religion. "Today I was able to get my new driving licence, and in it you can clearly see that I'm wearing a colander on my head to demonstrate my allegiance to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster," Mr Alm wrote in his blog.
"My headwear has now been recognised by the Republic of Austria."
The spaghetti church was founded in 2005 in opposition to pressure on the Kansas school board in the United States to teach the theory of intelligent design in biology class as an alternative to evolution, and since then it has engaged in a light-hearted campaign against religion.
Key to the beliefs of pastafarians is that the world was created by the Flying Spaghetti Monster, but, owing to the monster being inebriated at the time of creation, it has a flawed design.

I didn't know such idiots existed in this world..
I just think it's pretty freakin amazing that this dude made enough of a fuss that the legislative bodies of Austria thought it best to just let him wear his damn pasta strainer! Lol
So, I'm pretty sure, he's pushing to legitimize it just like other religions because that's the whole point of the satire. 4000 years from now we could b quoting this dude as a prophet!
"and low, the chef boyardee rained down from the kitchen counter and a vision appeared"
Well.....if he can wear a sieve on his head, then they can't forbid the veil, can they??
Wok is that supposed to be ?
...an invisible Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe 'after drinking heavily'....:)[[wysiwyg_imageupload:1045:]]
Than do what every other good Athiest does and put Pastafarian or Jedi under their religious beliefs on Facebook.
Yes, it is strange, since he says he's an Atheist.
Just trying to prove a point i suppose..
I don't think it's been recognised as an official religion yet Brit. I think he's still pushing for that. He's just one the right to wear the strainer. I don't understand why he's pushing for it though, the religion is a spoof, if you make it legitimate it kind of takes away from the whole point.
It has now been recognised as official - In Austria at least
Don't wanna sound all "babe in the woods" but is this religion for real? Cos all this while I thought it was all in jest and not a true faith...
hahahahh!!!![[wysiwyg_imageupload:1042:]]

Ahhah! so this is how "Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs" got its idea.
