Hmmmmm... Mass. woman can wear spaghetti strainer in license photo (Comic relief)



BOSTON —A Massachusetts woman has won a legal battle to wear a colander on her head in her state driver's license photo.

Lindsay Miller is a Pastafarian, who are known as members of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Pastafarians believe the FSM, as it is called, to be a powerful force.

The secular religion views the existence of a Flying Spaghetti Monster to be just as probable as the existence of the Christian God, according to an online post by the American Humanist Association, which assisted in Miller's dispute with the Registry of Motor Vehicles.

The religion denies it is either satirical or intended to be humorous, but rather based in science.
