Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament
earthlingpink writes "In his maiden speech to the House of Commons, the Hon. Member for Copeland, Jamie Reed MP, announced that he is a Jedi: "as the first Jedi Member of this place, I look forward to the protection under the law that will be provided to me by the Bill" (the quotation is a fair way down the page; search for 'Jedi,' not surprisingly). How long before we have a Congressional equivalent?" Update: 06/29 23:15 GMT by T : Reader JE_Hoover adds a correction: "Although the previous MP for Copeland was the Hon. Member for Copeland, the current MP for Copeland is not a member of the privy council. Debretts make it all clear."

God spoke to me.
It's not like they're likely to go do some kooky thing like stick their fingers in somebody's wounds.
Naaah...they'll just chop off their kids' hands.

That Jamie is a lab is no more surprizing, I suppose, than the fact that he or she is a Jedi knight. Maybe less, since labs actually exist. Better than being a socialist, I guess.
One question: Yellow, black, or chocolate?
>>For what it is worth, Catholics believe that the priest turns the sacramental host and wine into the literal body and blood of Jesus Christ during mass. which is not too far removed from your example.
I knew I missed something while growing up. Catholics are Cannibals. No wonder why they like killing people in the name of their god.
i thought once I was found, but it was only a dream.
s/this bill/some other bill, and s/Muslims/Jews and you've got yourself some neo-nazi rhetoric right there. But it's okay when it's applied to Muslims? I think not.
And yes, I know; Godwin, I invoke thee!
