Hyndburn has 262 Jedi's - anyone willing to own up?
 

Was just browsing the statistics.gov.uk website and have noticed that Hyndburn has 262 people who registered themselves as 'Jedi' under the 2001 census under 'ethnicity/religion'. So go on, own up.....

There was a movement at the time for people to give their religion in that census as 'Jedi'.

There were 390,000 who decided to do it.

I was living in London at that time, and was quite happy to label myself as atheist.

What a load of nonsense. What a help that will be in 100 years time when our descendants are trying to complete a family tree. :(

what difference does religion have in this, it doesn't tell you where people were born died or were married?

I'm just suprised that out of 390,000 people we only have 262 daft ones in Hyndburn.:D
