I Want To Be A Pastafarian!

Part of the religion is to dress like a pirate.

The article in The Metro says

A student has been suspended from school in America for coming to class dressed as a pirate.

But the disciplinary action has provoked controversy – because the student says that the ban violates his rights, as the pirate costume is part of his religion.

Bryan Killian says that he follows the Pastafarian religion, and that as a crucial part of his faith, he must wear ‘full pirate regalia’ as prescribed in the holy texts of Pastafarianism.

It will mean joining The Church Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster, but that’s a small price to pay to dress like Captain Jack Sparrow!

Unfortunately the website for the church is down at the moment. Looks like someone broke their Wordpress install.

Still, it can’t be any worse that Christianity…

Absolutely genius. This is the most random thing I’ve read in a while.
