Mr. Neeson said "'I have not been so nervous since I met Muhammad Ali. . . I really was weakkneed. . . She asked if the award was for theater or films, and I said I thought it was for both. [The Queen] said, 'That's nice''" Poor Liam he must have really been nervous being around the Queen. Wow! Good job Mr. Neeson. This info taken from the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Nick 11/2/02 The Jedi Religion Stumps Australian Bureau of Statistics I was recently looking over an old newspaper dated September 3. This is old news but very interesting. In Australia during last year's census over 70,000 people identified their religion as Jedi. 70,509 people to be exact. Exactly .39 percent of the 19 million people living in Australia. The Star Wars fans placed Jedi in the optional write in response for religion. The so called prank was started when a fan circulated an email stating that the government would have to recognize the Jedi as an official religion if over 10,000 people stated that on the census. Well who ever started it did a lot better than getting 10,000 people to do it. For this prank the offenders(offenders- not really, just true fans) may have to pay a fine of 1,000 Australian dollars (540 American dollars) for giving out false information. So far the government has yet to do anything. They have turned the Jedi responses into "not defined" responses. Hopefully they do not punish these great Star Wars fans. Good job sentient beings, whoever you are. Nick 11/2/02 American Film Institute The American Film Institute recently released a list of the top 50 movies of all time. In 15th place was Star Wars. The original movie was the only one out of the Star Wars saga that had been placed on the list. Maybe the institute should take a look over the other 3 movies out right now. I believe they deserve to be in first, second, third, and fourth places. What can you do though? Along with Star Wars, Schindler's List, starring Liam Neeson, was ranked at number 9.
