As some of you may know there is a census coming around on August the 7th. For those who don't know, a census is where the government collates general information about its residents (number of people living in your house, religion, etc). If there are enough people, who put down a religion that isn't mentioned on the census form it becomes a fully recognised and legal religion.

It usually takes about 10,000 people to nominate the same religion.

It is for this reason that it has been suggested that anyone who does not have a dominant religion to put "Jedi" as their religion. Send this on to all your friends and tell them to put down "Jedi" on their census form. And remember ...If you are a member of the Jedi religion then you are by default a 'Jedi Knight.'

So if this has been your dream since you were 4 years old.... Do it because you love Star Wars, If not... then just do it to annoy people.

May the Force be with you.

Some thoughts: I'm up for it. The email he sent me claimed this actually worked in New Zealand. But then the emails he sends me claim many things. I don't know when the UK Census will be, just that there is one this year. I don't know if what it says about religions becoming legit is true, just that one thing is certain: if enough people put down "Jedi" it's bound to cause a stir. And you all know how I like to annoy people! 8)

"It strikes me that there are enough episodes of the Simpsons that people could speak entirely in Simpsonese, using references from the show to explain or describe an endless series of situations. Nelson and Apu . . . at Tinagra.

But now I�ve brought Star Trek into it again, haven�t I. Sorry."

So according to FedGov, she's officially listed as Fae. :::shakes head & smiles::: No wonder I adore her so.

ADDENDUM: The exact phrasing as below--

I got stalked by the census people today.

Census Person: "Ok, race? Latino, hispanic, caucasian..."

Me: "I'm other."

CP: "Other what?"

Me: "Here, I'll fill it in." F-A-E

CP: "Is that a real race?"

Me: "Yeah, it is."

CP: "Ok, then."

And I heard about the New Zealand thing before it happened. I seem to recall hearing afterward that it actually worked, but I don't know if that's true or not.

And as I recall it, you have to prove it's a practicing religion as well, meaning we'll have lots of robed psychoes going around the world "using the Force" and using modified weilding torches in attempts to prove they are an actual religion... the US has it's own version of this Jedi religion.

Kind of like the same treatment that Angels are getting nowadays. Man, in the Old Times, Angels were God's little engines of destruction; raining down fire and brimstone, wiping out a nation's firstborn, THOSE were Angels, not these wimps running around today.

I say Metatron!
