Pastafarian Wears "Religious" Headgear In Texas Driver's License Photo

Apparently the state of Texas has no problem with individuals wearing religious headgear in their driver's license photos.  Daily Caller reported yesterday that Texas Tech University student Eddie Castillo, claiming to be a Pastafarian, has become the first person to wear a pasta strainer on his head in his ID photo.  Castillo told Department of Motor Vehicle officials in the Lubbock office that the silver metal pasta strainer is a religious symbol to him. DMV officials are apparently still considering whether his license is valid. Pastafarianism, also known as the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, is generally seen as a parody on religion, even though its website says it is a real religion.
