Pastafarian Wins Battle To Wear Colander In License Photo

An anonymous reader writes "Eddie Castillo is the first American to successfully have his government-issued photo identification taken while wearing a colander, though DPS officials are reportedly planning to follow up with Castillo in order to 'rectify' the situation. Others have tried unsuccessfully, and Castillo told KLBK that he was surprised at his victory, which he called a 'political and religious milestone for all atheists everywhere.'" Two years ago Niko Alm won the right to wear a pasta strainer on his head although Austrian authorities required him to obtain a doctor's certificate that he was "psychologically fit" to drive.

    Can't think of a better symbol for atheism than someone wearing a bowl on their head.

      Agnostics do not know whether they are supposed to wear funny hats or not.

    It's all just an attempt from NSA and CIA to create more news, driving attention from Snowden's leaks, plus to show the whole world that USA is still more free and open country than Russia and China.

    What would you say on that, cold fjord, eh?

    Well, when it comes to the US financial system and the state of our federal reserve, could we put anything else on it?
