Boyah!LONDON (Reuters) - It's official -- "Star Wars" has created almost 400,000 Jedis in Britain.
Over 390,000 people wrote "Jedi" on their 2001 census form, more than those who registered their faith as Jewish, Buddhist or Sikh in the optional question on religion, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said on Thursday.

That's only your interpretation of the writing of the IPU. In the holy text, it says pink. And it cannot be denied, for it is from the hoof of the unicorn itself.HemlockGrey wrote:NO! The pink unicorn is BLUE!

Because the dragon's not transdimensional. I'm just annoyed because it's snoring right now.

Thats why Jedi don't exist in the US. They can't go anywhere without being stopped by police and searched because they might be carrying a bomb in their robes. And hell, because they also look like a-rab terrorists.Grand Admiral Thrawn wrote:400 000. That's certainly enough to be an official religon. Every time someone laughs at your Jedi Robes, acuse him of being a religous bigot!
In Britain and Aus we just have trouble explaining that its not a pipe-bomb but a lightsaber.
