Flying Spaghetti Monster as Official Religion in Austria?

Remember Mr. Alm of Austria who won the right to wear a colander on his head (as an authentic religious hat) for his driver's license in Austria?

He was subjected to a medical exam, but eventually he got his photo with the colander on his head on his driver's license, but he's not done yet.

Hullabaloo reports that Alm now wants to apply for "Pastafarianism to become an officially recognised faith in Austria."

Earrings for Pastafarians Coming Soon

Due to the number of requests received, Ring of Fire recently added Christmas tree ornaments (or hanging ornaments for your car's rearview mirror) in the image of our noodly master, the Flying Spaghetti Monster and his sidekick the Pirate fish. ROF, Inc. also created a license plate frame made for FSM devotees, who want to declare to the world that they are Pastafarians.

Now we have earrings in production which are due at the end of this month.

The FSM earrings dangle and the part that goes through your ear are made of surgical steel to prevent allergic reactions in sensitive people.


The Pirate fish earrings are on posts - also with surgical steel backing.

Continue to send us your wish lists - we keep track of all requests and we create new products based on the greatest number of requests.

Carbohydrate Creator Makes It to the Big Time

The Flying Spaghetti Monster will be represented at the American Academy of Religion's annual meeting in San Diego this weekend.

... three young scholars at the University of Florida who study religion in popular culture ... got to talking, and eventually managed to get a panel on FSM-ism on the agenda at one of the field's most prestigious gatherings.

The title: "Evolutionary Controversy and a Side of Pasta: The Flying Spaghetti Monster and the Subversive Function of Religious Parody.

....The presenters' titles seem almost a parody themselves of academic jargon. Snyder will speak about "Holy Pasta and Authentic Sauce: The Flying Spaghetti Monster's Messy Implications for Theorizing Religion," while Gavin Van Horn's presentation is titled "Noodling around with Religion: Carnival Play, Monstrous Humor, and the Noodly Master."
