Jedi Attack

After a brutal attack on the church of the Jedi, further tragedy occurred as Darth Vader was given a suspended sentence and avoided any jail time. Some might say that the group of uber geeks deserved the beat down from the dark lord for their inability to separate fantasy from reality. In fact, I might say that. I will publicly say that if you found a church based on the teachings found in a movie, you should watch your back because you really do need a solid dose of reality.

As you may have guessed by now, alcohol was involved. Darth Vader allegedly consumed the better part of a 2 1/2 gallon box of wine before the attack, an amount sufficient to leave him with no recollection of the events. Either that or the Jedi used some powerful mind control techniques, for as you know, the force can have a strong influence on the weak minded. That may be what ultimately stopped the attacks.

Despite no memories of the attack, Darth has expressed contrition. Comforting news I'm sure for the remainder of the Jedi order. The attack was caught on video, and as luck would have it, is now available on the internet! The video is posted here, but I have to warn you, it's pretty disappointing after what I had imagined. I actually can't believe that charges were filed after this.

The downside is that alcohol and lightsabers make a bad combination. The good news is that we haven't invented them yet so no one was killed....

The good news is that there are apparently a sizable portion of the British population that are smart asses just like us. :)

"In the 2001 United Kingdom census, 390,000 - 0.7 percent of the population - listed Jedi as their religion."
