Lukas Novy says he's a member of the "Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster," a satirical faith which teaches that a creature composed of pasta and meatballs "created the world much as it exists today," that pirates "were peaceful explorers and it was due to Christian misinformation that they have an image of outcast criminals today," and that beer is good. In observance of this faith, Novy, a resident of the Czech Republic, insisted that he be allowed to wear a pasta sieve on his head while being photographed for an official government ID. And he succeeded.
