This snip in STV reports that an Austrian man has been allowed to wear a pasta strainer on his head on his driver’s licence photo.
Under the mistaken belief that he has a sense of humour, I would guess, Niko Alm said he must wear the utensil for religious reasons. He claims to be a member of the…
…Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, whose followers call themselves ‘Pastafarians’…
The Austrian authorities have taken 3 years to decide he can do this. Apparently, they asked for him to be assessed by a doctor to make sure he was mentally fit to drive.
I think the doctor should also have been asked to assess the authorities.
Incidentally, Alm is an atheist. In other words, he doesn’t have a religion – he’s just a base-level shit-stirrer.
(I won’t file this under “funny”. Alm isn’t. He’s just an idiot.)
