Received _3_ copies of this this morning. & Yes Oz is doing a census soon..

Unfortunately some jack@$$ took this, directly substituted "Jedi" with "pagan" 
with minor alternations posted it all over the place & many people thought it 
was serious. Didn't even have April Fool's day as an excuse <sigh>

Inspite that it's still rather funny....

        I say we all do this.  It would make for an interesting 
        anomaly in the census.

        PS  I don't think it really will get the Jedi religion 
        recognised.



         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 it's 
        residents (number of people living in your house, religion, 
        etc) If there are enough people in Australia, 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 cos you love Star Wars, If not........... then just do 
        it to annoy people.
