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.
Boyah!

Why not keep it in an invisible intangible transdimensional garage?

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.

Because the dragon's not transdimensional. I'm just annoyed because it's snoring right now. And it's taking up my bed.

Don't let the American fundies find out about this, or else they'll be calling Star Wars work of the devil. Perhaps the people who put Jedi down on the form should start an organized religion. If Ed Wood can get his own church, why not the Jedi Order?

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.
In Britain and Aus we just have trouble explaining that its not a pipe-bomb but a lightsaber.
