BRITAIN: Almost 400,000 people in Britain declared their religious belief to be Jedi - a reference to the Jedi Knights in the Star Wars films.
Over 390,000 people wrote Jedi under "any other religion" on their 2001 census form, more than those who registered their faith as Jewish, Buddhist or Sikh in the optional question on religion, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said.
The Jedis declared their belief after a campaign on the Internet asked people to "do it because you love Star Wars" or "just to annoy people". - (Reuters)
