Czech Nationwide Census Shows Jump In Jedi Knights
First time accepted submitter il_genio writes "The Czech Statistical Office (SÚ) unveiled the first results of its regular 10-year census on Thursday. While almost half the population, 4.8 million, shied away from answering the voluntary religious question, a surprising strong showing was given by those Czechs who described themselves as Knights of the Jedi and believers in 'the Force' as depicted in the Star Wars films. Overall, 15,070 Czechs identified themselves as Knights of the Jedi with the biggest proportion of adherents in the capital, Prague, with 3,977 followers or 0.31 percent of the population."
I don't understand why this simple troll gets so many angry, indignant responses, yelling that the lyrics are wrong. First of all, I like "cosmonaut" better. It's subtle and completely absurd, turning a commercial jingle into a nonsensical, absurdist masterpiece. Second, how the fuck do you know the lyrics to this song? Seriously. Are you actually dedicating space in your head to 80s TV sitcom themes? Why would you do that? Third, it's probably fucking obvious that this is a troll, and I can't understand what possessed you to respond to it. Now, of course, you'll accuse me of having no room to complain, since I've replied, as well, but you're wrong. I'm vibrating at a completely different frequency.
