In this Nov. 12, 2015 photo provided by Darrick Fauvel, Lindsay Miller of Lowell, Mass., wears a spaghetti strainer to reflect her religious beliefs while holding her temporary driver license that also bears a photo of her wearing the colander.
What a noodle brain!
A Pastafarian displayed her allegiance to the Flying Spaghetti Monster in her Massachusetts driver's license photo.
Lindsay Miller of Lowell, Mass. cited that her religious beliefs as a member of the "Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster" should allow her to wear the metal pasta strainer on her head during the photo.
Miller was previously denied a license renewal in August under Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles policy that does not permit hats or head coverings except for religious reasons.
"They were kind of laughing at me," Miller told the Boston Globe.
"I thought of other religions and women and thought that this was not fair. I thought, 'Just because you haven't heard of this belief system, [the RMV] should not be denying me a license," she said.
Pastafarians — members of "The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster" — use parody to make a point about religion.
"The fact that many see this is as a satirical religion doesn't change the fact that by any standard one can come up with our religion is as legitimate as any other. And *that* is the point,” according to a posting on the church’s web site.
PASTAFARIAN NY POL TAKES OATH OF OFFICE WEARING COLANDER
The web site claims the church has been in existence for hundreds of years and came into the mainstream in 2005 after an open letter was penned by Bobby Henderson to the Kansas School Board in response to the district's teachings on evolution.
At the end of his letter, Henderson included a drawing of "Him" — the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
