Texas Athiest Wears Pasta Strainer in DMV Photo.

Love it!

KCDB reported on Saturday that Eddie Castillo spent four months researching and contacting government officials before he got approval to wear the pasta strainer, which he claims is religious garb worn to “worship” the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Castillo is part of a group of “pastafarians,” a name coined by atheists protesting the Kansas School Board’s decision to teach intelligent design in 2005.

“You might think this is some sort of a gag or prank by a college student, but thousands, including myself, see it as a political and religious milestone for all atheists everywhere,” Castillo told KCDB.

which is a wonderful way to point out the ridiculous nature of many religious beliefs.

"All linguini on heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore, go and make pasta dishes of all varieties, topping them with the name of meatball, the sauce, and the holy cheeses."

You should visit the church of the Invisible Pink Unicorn, blessed be her hooves.

She is both pink and invisible. It seems like a contradiction but you just got to have faith. Besides never know when or where she might show up



Did you see something?

If a cook use a steak sauce as one uses a tomato sauce, he has committed an abomination, and shall be put to death. His blood will be on his head.

Researching and contacting government officials for 4 months, so that you can wear a spaghetti strainer on your head? Those crazy college days...
