A woman who identifies herself as a Pastafarian, a follower of a religion that teaches that an airborne ?spaghetti monster? could have created the universe, has succeeded in her bid to wear a colander on her head in her driver?s license photo.
Lindsay Miller claims the spaghetti strainer is a sign of her devotion to the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
In August, the Lowell resident was denied a renewed license by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles, she said, for wearing the metal cookware.
?They were kind of laughing at me,? Miller said. ?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.? ?
