In New Zealand, "Jedi" is about the top religion in census counts: <If anyone has "race" on any form I have to fill out....I say "Heinz" or "Other"...just to mess with the computers' brain..>
Here it is... Jedi has dwindled somewhat <Over 53,000 people listed themselves as Jedi in New Zealand's 2001 census. New Zealand had the highest per capita population of reported Jedi in the world that year, with 1.5 percent marking "Jedi" as their religion. Also, the city of Dunedin had the highest population of reported Jedi per capita.[10] Statistics New Zealand treated Jedi responses as "Answer understood, but will not be counted". Even though Statistics New Zealand won't recognise Jedi an as official religion there is anecdotal evidence that at least one branch of the NZ military, the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN), officially recognises it. However, if Jedi were counted it would have been the second largest religion in New Zealand. The percentages of religious affiliations were:
* Christian: 58.9%
* No religion: 29.6%
* Object to answering: 6.9%
* Jedi: 1.5%
* Buddhism: 1.2%
* Hindu: 1.2%
There was a dramatic fall in the number of New Zealand Jedi five years later, with some 20,000 people giving this as their religion in the 2006 census.[11] >
In honour of Tiger Woods and his parents, I think Cablinasian would be a better race than Heinz. It would at least make sense. I have varied my answers depending on my mood at the time. Similarly for "occupation" = I think I'm currently a "revolutionary" on the electoral roll. My plan is to overthrow various governments around the world, and especially New Zealand's. Also to establish a new geopolitical realm, the Qi.
Don't forget to put "both" for gender as many of we men have a feminine side these days and some are outright poofters! Some women are quite like blokes and is gender a matter of chromosomes or identity? I have never had my chromosomes checked, so can't be sure I'm a bloke, though there are broad hints that's true.
