[lfjokes] religion? jedi ...

[Adam Shand]

i realise that there are many people on the list who aren't from nz on the
list, but take it to heart.  of forms of subversion of authority are good.

good i say!

a suggestion for next weeks census....

question 18 deals with religion, if like me, you believe in no one
specific religion or just simply object to answering that particular
question, then please consider the following alternative..... we are
trying to encourage people to tick the 'other' box and then fill their
religion in as "JEDI" - all Star Wars fans will understand, but the point
of the exercise is two-fold...

1. if 8000 people throughout new zealand do this then JEDI will become an
officially recognized religion which would be a laugh, and

2. it's a bit of an experiment in the power of email, as that has been our
primary means of communication, that's not to say that you can't tell
others about in other ways.

but I would urge you to do the above and pass this message/idea on to as
many of your friends, relatives etc as you can so we can reach the magic
number of 8000, be swift as we don't have a lot of time left!

may the Force be with you ...
