'Pastafarian' wins battle to wear colander on head in official pictures

[n2doc]

A self-styled 'Pastafarian' has reportedly won the right to wear a plastic colander on his head in official photos.

Niko Alm claimed he took the bold step of donning the strainer for an official photograph after discovering that headgear was permitted in his native Austria if it was worn on religious grounds.

In an unorthodox move, he claimed to be a member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, an apparently spoof organisation based in America.

Its website insists: "Pastafarianism is a real religion."

The site adds that those who observe Pastafarianism are "fond of beer" and observe a religious holiday every Friday.
