    That is the title of the article on the front page of my hometown newspaper this morning.

    That could explain the decrease of jws in Canada.

    This has been also noted in the UK. I work with a lad who said that he was officially of the Jedi religion. He said that they had achieved 10,000 at the last census and officially recognized.

    So he said.......

    Hey folks, this is indeed what's been floating around the newspapers the last couple of days.

    Oh and by the way, Aztec's avatar: notice anything in particular?

    Seems like the centre of worship will be in the Detroit area afterall, close enough, across the river from Windsor, Ontario.

    OK Jedi's, it's off to the Aztec Temple.

    The Jedi Creed

    I believe in the reality of the Force:
    the ultimate source of universal power,
    binding life to life throughout the infinite reaches of space.
    All that is, lives, moves and has being
    wholly within the sphere of the power of the Force.

    Alone, I am insignificant, yet I encompass all potential.
    By talent and dedication I choose and am chosen
    to wield the Force for the good of all beings;
    to work for understanding and the brotherhood of the universe.

    In partnership with the Force, and with my fellow Jedi,
    I will guide, defend and protect those who come to me,
    each according to his needs,
    allowing each to choose his path without interference.
    I will share my knowledge willingly and truthfully;
    reserving only such information as may confuse or mislead.
    I will deal compassionately with my fellow beings at all times.

    The peace of all worlds is my charge;
    Justice and freedom under just laws shall be the rights of all beings.
    No threats or weakness shall turn me from my task.
    I freely give my powers that no being need live in fear or oppression.

    This day I renew my pledge, and reaffirm my charge.
    I do willingly hold myself apart from those things
    which conflict with the duties I have taken as my own.
    For the rest of my life, however long or short,
    the Force will guide me;
    and I will answer to that higher power in the end.
