I think I've found a new hero...

"Until now, worshippers of His Noodly Appendages have until now been nothing more than a marginal cult battling the dark forces of Intelligent Design.

However, thanks to one Niko Alm, Pastafarianism looks set to take its rightful place on the roster of bona fide churches.

Alm, 35, has won the right to appear on an Austrian driving licence wearing a spaghetti strainer on his head. His epic battle to don this "religious headgear" began in 2008 when, as a protest against that fact that "officials had no problem with Muslim women wearing headscarves when posing for their driving licence and passport pictures", he rolled up to a Vienna ID office wearing a sieve."

What I really find amusing is the notion that this will surely snowball at some point. What started off as an exercise in irony will end up attracting enough oddballs that it will eventually become a bona fide religion, at least as far as common law is concerned.

I think that's probably unlikely but you never know. :-D
 
I'm sure equally strange things have happened in the past :D
 
True. There's a bit of me (the farce-loving bit) that hopes that does happen. :lol:
